The Role of Uncertainty in Decision-Making During High Consequential Events

With the increased risk of natural disasters, efforts are underway to improve all aspects of emergency response. Regardless of the type of disaster, whether health or weather-related, there are high degrees of uncertainty associated with the unfolding of each event. As emergency managers, first responders, and the public seek to maximize their response to disasters, it is essential to understand the impacts of uncertainty on decision-making. This seminar will explore the impact of uncertainty on decision-makers during high consequence events.
