Abstract

The field of crisis informatics now has a decade-long history of designing tools that leverage social media to support decision-makers situational awareness. Despite this history, there remains few examples of these tools adopted by practitioners. Recent fieldwork with public safety answering points and first responders has led to an awareness of the need for tools that gather actionable information, rather than situational awareness alone. This paper contributes to an ongoing discussion about these concepts by proposing a model that embeds the concept of actionable information into Endsley's model of situational awareness. We also extend the insights of this model to the design implications of future information processing systems.
