Superstorm Sandy: Lessons for Optimizing Limited Training Resources for Local Impact.
Professional training development, whether for a classroom, work environment, or other setting, typically follows a validated instructional design model that includes an assessment of learner needs before the development of a training. This foundational principle is integrated into federal guidance documents for emergency preparedness training. That said, local preparedness resources are someti...
متن کاملSocial Resources and Community Resilience in the Wake of Superstorm Sandy
Recovery efforts after natural disasters typically focus on physical infrastructure. In general less attention is paid to the social infrastructure that might impact the capacity of the community to rebuild. We examine perceptions of preparedness and recovery (markers of resilience at the community level) in the wake of Superstorm Sandy with a novel data set that includes a multi-mode survey of...
متن کاملImpact of Superstorm Sandy on Medicare Patients’ Utilization of Hospitals and Emergency Departments
INTRODUCTION National health security requires that healthcare facilities be prepared to provide rapid, effective emergency and trauma care to all patients affected by a catastrophic event. We sought to quantify changes in healthcare utilization patterns for an at-risk Medicare population before, during, and after Superstorm Sandy's 2012 landfall in New Jersey (NJ).

متن کاملManaging information processes in disaster events: The impact of superstorm sandy on business organizations
Building community resilience to natural disasters represents a major policy priority for the United States as hazards impact vulnerable urban regions with increasing frequency and severity. Applying network analysis techniques, we examine the dynamics of emergency response to Superstorm Sandy, which struck the United States east coast in late October 2012 and caused over $72 billion in damages...
متن کاملOptimizing fusion architectures for limited training data sets
A method is described to improve the performance of sensor fusion algorithms. Data sets available for training fusion algorithms are often smaller than desired, since the sensor suite used for data acquisition is always limited by the slowest, least reliable sensor. In addition, the fusion process expands the dimension of the data, which increases the requirement for training data. By using str...
