At the global level, the number of natural and man-made disastrous events is increasing. Agenda 2030 indicates disaster risk reduction as one of the priorities. This requires the adoption of actions belonging to the management risk cycle, designed and implemented before and after a disastrous event. The general objective of this research regards the contributions of mitigation and preparedness phases for risk reductions. The specific objective of this paper is to bridge the gap between emergency plans and their implementation in real-world situations. This is possible by designing and developing emergency exercises that simulate emergency plans. Specific attention is on the TableTop Exercises (TTE) belonging to the discussion-based class. TTE simulates an evacuation planned procedures by discussing the defined procedures. In this context, the paper proposes a survey framework based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for measuring the potential users’ acceptance of the planned procedures. The main results of a prototypal survey are presented. The first results of a prototypal TTE, supported by a TAM approach, offer the main elements useful for performing an experimentation in a wide urban context. The initial findings offer two distinct advantages. Firstly, they highlight the main elements of a TTE supported by a TAM survey. Secondly, they facilitate the evaluation of the effects of evacuation procedures and their perception by users in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived ease-of-use.

摘要

At the global level, the number of natural and man-made disastrous events is increasing. Agenda 2030 indicates disaster risk reduction as one of the priorities. This requires the adoption of actions belonging to the management risk cycle, designed and implemented before and after a disastrous event. The general objective of this research regards the contributions of mitigation and preparedness phases for risk reductions. The specific objective of this paper is to bridge the gap between emergency plans and their implementation in real-world situations. This is possible by designing and developing emergency exercises that simulate emergency plans. Specific attention is on the TableTop Exercises (TTE) belonging to the discussion-based class. TTE simulates an evacuation planned procedures by discussing the defined procedures. In this context, the paper proposes a survey framework based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for measuring the potential users’ acceptance of the planned procedures. The main results of a prototypal survey are presented. The first results of a prototypal TTE, supported by a TAM approach, offer the main elements useful for performing an experimentation in a wide urban context. The initial findings offer two distinct advantages. Firstly, they highlight the main elements of a TTE supported by a TAM survey. Secondly, they facilitate the evaluation of the effects of evacuation procedures and their perception by users in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived ease-of-use.
