See the bad things coming in time to change the outcome!
Flawed situational awareness is a leading contributing factor to first responder near-miss and casualty events. Yet, sadly, most first responders know very little about situational awareness – what it is, how to develop it, what erodes it and how to regain it once it has been eroded.
This book – the first in a series – is a collection of articles from the highly acclaimed SAMatters.com blog. Each contribution discusses the challenges first responders face while trying to develop and maintain situational awareness while making decisions in high-risk, high consequence, time compressed, rapidly changing environments, including:
- Fatigue
- Multitasking
- Freelancing
- Emotions
- Discipline
- Assertiveness
- Risk versus reward
- Being defensive
- Memory
- Expectations
- SOPs
- Meta awareness
- Staffing levels
- Accountability
- Debriefings
- And more…
