PrepTalks: Modernizing Public Warning Messaging [video]
"Dr. Dennis Mileti's PrepTalk, 'Modernizing Public Warning Messaging,' presents research on how to design and disseminate alerts and warning information that encourages public action. He also emphasizes that 'multiple dissemination channels for public disaster warnings yield quicker and more comprehensive audience penetration,' Mileti says. 'One technology is insufficient because you need multiple technologies to reach different sub-populations in an at-risk audience.' He is the author of more than 100 publications."

Guide to Public Alerts and Warnings for Dam and Levee Emergencies
"The guidebook's purpose is to assist the emergency manager in issuing more timely and effective public alert and warning messages for floods caused by dam breaches, controlled dam releases, and levee breaches or overtopping. The guidebook is not about how to install, maintain and operate emergency public communication technologies. Designing and implementing an effective public education campaign to enhance household preparedness is also outside the scope of this guidebook, although alert/warning topics should be addressed in general public education/information programs. This guidebook is based on findings from decades of research on disaster warnings. It presents best practices derived from these findings. The guidebook is supported by the data presented in three technical papers on warning issuance, alert/warning diffusion, and public alert/warning response referenced at the end of this document."

Comprehensive Testing of Imminent Threat Public Messages for Mobile Devices
"This project sought to determine the optimized message contents of imminent threat wireless emergency alert (WEA) messages delivered over mobile communication devices. This report presents findings for the first WEA messages disseminated about imminent threats (i.e., first alert messages) from two research phases with U.S. adults: (1) eight experiments, seven focus groups and 50 think-out-loud interviews; and (2) a survey of an actual 'real world' severe flood in Boulder, Colorado. It also integrates findings from across study methods and provides actionable guidance and considerations for optimized message contents of imminent one-hour-to-impact threat alerts delivered over mobile communication devices."

Bibliography on Evacuation from Building Fires: Education, Behavior, and Simulation Techniques (Work in Progress)
This document is a list of resources related to evacuation from building fires and is divided into four sections: Fire Education and Training, Occupant Evacuation Behavioral Models, Occupant Emergency Information/Warnings, and Building Evacuation Computer Models.

Occupant Behavior, Egress, and Emergency Communications
This report describes the occupant evacuation of the World Trade Center buildings 1 and 2 on September 11, 2001. The report documents the emergency procedures, both as they were designed to be implemented, as well as how they were actually implemented on September 11, 2001

NIST NCSTAR 1-7: Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster: Occupant Behavior, Egress, and Emergency Communication
"This report describes the occupant evacuation of World Trade Center (WTC) 1 and WTC 2 on September 11, 2001. [...] The egress system, including stairwells and elevators, was described and compared to requirement of both contemporary and current code requirements. This report documents the emergency procedures, both as they were designed to be implemented, as well as how they were actually implemented on September 11, 2001. [...] The progress of the evacuation of both towers was described in a quasi-chronological manner from 8:46:30 a.m. when WTC 1 was attacked, until 10:28:22 a.m., when WTC 1 collapsed. Causal models were built to explore the sources of evacuation initiation delay (why people did not immediately start to leave the building) as well as normalized stairwell evacuation time (how long the average occupant spent in the stairwells per floor). Issues identified as contributing to either speeding or aiding the evacuation process were explored. Egress simulations provided context for estimating how long WTC 1 and WTC 2 would have taken to evacuate with different populations, using different models, and subject to different damage to the building."

NIST NCSTAR 1-7 (Draft): Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster: Occupant Behavior, Egress, and Emergency Communication (Draft)
"This report describes the occupant evacuation of World Trade Center (WTC) 1 and WTC 2 on September 11, 2001. Multiple sources of information were collected and analyzed: over 1,000 new interviews with survivors (including 803 telephone interviews, 225 face-to-face interviews, and 5 focus groups); over 700 published interviews; 9-1-1 emergency calls; transcripts of emergency communications, historical building design drawings, memoranda, and calculations; formal complaints filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; and other relevant materials. The egress system, including stairwells and elevators, was described and compared to requirement of both contemporary and current code requirements. This report documents the emergency procedures, both as they were designed to be implemented, as well as how they were actually implemented on September 11, 2001."

Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of October 17, 1989-Loss Estimation and Procedures
"This Professional Paper includes a collection of papers on subjects ranging from evaluation of building safety, to human injuries, to correlation of ground deformation with building damage. What these papers share is a common goal to improve the tools available to the research community to measure the nature, extent, and causes of damage and losses due to earthquakes. These measurement tools are critical to reducing future loss."

Communication of Emergency Public Warnings: A Social Science Perspective and State-of-the-Art Assessment
More than 200 types of warning systems and warning response were reviewed for this social science perspective and state-of-the-art assessment of communication of emergency public warnings. [...] different methods of warning the public are not equally effective at providing and alert and notification in different physical and social settings. Most systems can provide a warning given three or more hours of available warning time. Special systems such as tone-alert radios are needed to provide rapid warning.

Preptalks Discussion Guide: Modernizing Public Warning Messaging
"PrepTalks Discussion Guides are companion documents to PrepTalk video presentations and question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions. When used together with the videos, these guides help translate the research and expertise showcased in each presentation into action steps to improve disaster preparedness. Dr. Mileti's PrepTalk showcases the latest research and provides practical guidance on how to write alert messages and the importance of using multiple delivery method to promote public action more effectively. Dr. Mileti is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado Boulder. He has authored more than 100 publications on the societal aspects of hazards and disasters, including co-authoring 'A Guide to Public Alerts and Warnings for Dam and Levee Emergencies.' Although focused on dams and levees, the recommendations and templates in this document apply to all hazard types."
