Tom, I love this! Can we look at a possible discussion/conversation at KMWorld, Nov 16-19 in DC? We have extended our call for speaker to the April 26, https://www.kmworld.com/Conference/2020/CallForSpeakers.aspx Jane

Here's a nice little summary of a particular type of failure known as cascading failure. These are failures due in part to the chaotic nature of complex systems. Lots of well-known examples. https://qz.com/emails/quartz-obsession/1831111/ Tom Short Consulting All of my previous SIKM Posts

Thanks, Jane. Don’t see why not. What did you have in mind? (I don’t have anything prepared on this topic; and I wasn’t the thread starter for it).

Jane, Tom
For KM World maybe we can get a panel discussion on this topic.
I wrote a chapter in my latest book Knowledge Management in Practice, (2016) titled: “Sound the Alarm! - KM in Emergency and Disaster Preparedness” which details specific KM Strategy to address disaster preparedness. I would welcome being a part of the panel and if you want a copy of this chapter please let me know.
All the best, be healthy and Safe! Tony

Yes, a panel discussion sounds like a great idea. Perhaps that could be primed by bringing in disaster case studies from various realms - military, engineering (Kansas City hotel skywalk collapse, anyone?), political, social. I’d be interested in participating.

Good morning, The cascading failure problem of our public health response was recently written about by Zeynep Tufecki in the Atlantic Monthly - you might find it of relevance to the conversation. As Tufecki notes, the pandemic is taking place along with our annual flu season. We here in the San Francisco Bay Area live atop two massive faults in the earth's crust. What are cascading failures that would arise from an earthquake happening in a pandemic? The day Gavin Newsom locked down our six counties, I thought about the challenges of that scenario. Catherine

Clearly, it would be disastrous to have simultaneous catastrophes whose counter-measures were at odds with each other. For example, some large natural disaster (earthquake, hurricane, etc.) that required people to shelter together in cramped quarters at the same time that a pandemic was requiring them to shelter apart. I think one could argue that the size and complexity of the disaster(s) is proportional to the speed at which good decisions and their subsequent actions have to be taken, meaning that these scenarios have to be thought about and planned for in advance.

As promised attach is a copy of my chapter on KM in Emergency and Disaster Preparedness.
In my latest book “Knowledge Management in Practice”, I wrote a chapter on Knowledge Management in Emergency and Disaster Preparedness (see attached). I began that chapter stating “During a time of crisis, (such as national disasters, pandemics, acts of terrorism) relevant information is usually not received by the Individuals or Group of Individuals that need it the most. For instance, many times First Responders are not able to respond quickly and effectively without the right information during a crisis situation. The lack of timely and correct information increases level of confusion, resulting in their ineffectiveness that may cause a loss of life.”
This chapter of my book focuses on First responders (i.e. Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Teams), who many times are not able to respond quickly and effectively in an emergency situation. This causes the increase probability of the seriously injured or sick not receiving care in a timely fashion. This has led to lose of life in situations where one's life could have been saved. This chapter was a direct response to the responsiveness during hurricane Katrina and Rita, which exposed a problem in effectively and efficiently enabling First Responders in their effort to prepare, respond and provide recovery during an emergency and/or crisis situation.
As a nation and the world, we are fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and searching for consistent reliable information and knowledge about this virus. Executing a consistent knowledge management plan with mechanisms to disseminate and share consistent knowledge to the public and first responders is a lesson learned for how our nation and the world has and will handle this pandemic now and in the future.
I hope you can take some nuggets from this chapter and welcome your feedback.
All the best, be healthy and Safe! Tony

Anthony, This is really great stuff. Everyone may be interested in this Twitter thread from the Washington Post health reporter Yasmeen Abutaleb because it confirms your finding in a very specific fashion. See Peace, T.J. “A man may do an immense deal of good, if he does not care who gets the credit for it." Fr. William Strickland, SJ

Tony, another lesson we learned from Katrina and Rita and other disasters in the 2000s is that the true first responders are the people there at the time of the crisis. What we call first responders may be there but they may not in which case they are second responders. The advent of states having disaster preparedness webpages and such, emergency warnings via cell, disaster apps on cells, as well as they advent of large scale disaster drills that included locals are all a fallout of this lesson. So while I agree on a focus for first responders, I am an even bigger fan of training the population in basic disaster response. I've attached my keynote speech in China on KM in crisis response for everyone's use (I've posted other work on this topic already)....murray jennex
