Understanding Computers and Users of the System

• RAUCUS
• Robert Chen
• Victor Goldberg
• Roger Hurwitz
• Sally Katzen
• Roberta Miller
• Priscilla Nelson
• Alex Pfaff
• Eldar Shafir

Proposed Topic

• Day 1 Info for Risk Management and Response in
  Extreme Events
• Day 2 Risk Management for Data Systems in
  Extreme Event
• Key Background Concept Creating a Research
  Center that deal in organized process with the
  problems highlighted.

4
Info for Risk Management and Response

• Database
• Interfaces and Communication of Risk

5
Database

• Database
• Data Interoperability
• Compatibility of Hardware and Software Standards
• Combining Data with Various Ownership,
  Confidentiality, Security
• Metadata compatibility
• Compatibility of ontologies and classes
• Distributed or Centralized or Virtual
• Tools for Data Analysis Visualization for
  Research, Assessment and Management

6
Communication of Risk

• Interface with Publics
• Need to communicate risk effectively to 3
  audiences
• General public
• Business communities (includes public
  institutions)
• Political and governmental leadership, including
  reg and responder agencies
• How to accommodate public responses in pre-event
  phases

7
Database Risks in Extreme Events

• Possibilities of Impairment of Critical Data
• Physical Destruction
• Breakdowns of Connectivity
• Ripple Effects of Impairment
• Problems for Financial and Public Institutions
• Local
• Global
• Immediate Problems for Citizens

8
Risks to Risk Management Data

• Unavailability of data due to damage or
  destruction
• Redundancy planning
• Distributed vs. centralized data repositories
• Bandwidth constraints in response operations
• Backup availability

9
Costs of Setting Up Interactive Database

• Costs of Such a Research Center
• Costs of Data
• Integrated Effort of Scientists, Information
  Scientists, Planners, Practitioners
