Emergencies
• Natural or anthropogenic (man-made) origin
• Events, incidents, accidents or malicious acts
• Sudden or slow onset
• Time-bounded
• Defined affected area and population
• Limited scale (albeit potentially large)

How do we talk to each other?
![Page 35: Situational Awareness and Information Management in ... · Situational Awareness and Information Management in Emergencies Understanding and making sense of data and information ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022043002/5f8074fe7500956b0521eb18/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What information do policymakers need?
• Anticipation (monitoring, forecasts, evolution, updates)
• Analysis (impact, severity and impact, consequences, context)
• Internal and external communication messages
• Next steps… So what now? How do we react? What options do we have?
• Clarity, briefness, timeliness, reliability
![Page 36: Situational Awareness and Information Management in ... · Situational Awareness and Information Management in Emergencies Understanding and making sense of data and information ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022043002/5f8074fe7500956b0521eb18/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What policymakers should expect from scientists?
• Scientific integrity
• Accuracy vs uncertainty
• Completeness vs timeliness
• Clarity vs length
![Page 37: Situational Awareness and Information Management in ... · Situational Awareness and Information Management in Emergencies Understanding and making sense of data and information ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022043002/5f8074fe7500956b0521eb18/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What do scientists need from policymakers?
• Clear mandate and framework
• Clarity in the questions to be answered
• Knowledge about options that can be considered
• Realistic albeit flexible deadlines
• Access to data, resources and infrastructure
• A bridging team (situational awareness and analysis teams)
• Translate scientific information into operational information
• Liaising and engaging with crisis centres and policymakers
• Responsibility
