Change of decision-making methods with the help of training and higher education

Abstract

Human decision-making is based on habit and schema. The more solution options there are, the more schemas the human brain can create. Different schemas result rapid situation recognition, which lead to more effective intervention and execution. In order to improve the success of interventions, Disaster Management deepens its expertise through various basic, secondary and advanced training courses, preparing commanders for correct task planning and control. However, the theoretical preparation is not enough to allow the theoretical knowledge to be brought to the surface in a stressful situation, with a greater load, therefore it is essential to practice the various situations at a skill level. A good example of this is that in addition to the various training courses, disaster management professionals and students also carry out complex exercises involving multiple organizations.
