NKS-B NordDSS workshop

Nordic workshop for users of Decision Support Systems (DSS)

Copenhagen, Denmark

1-2 October 2009

The aim of NordDSS workshop was to gather users of decision support systems (DSS) from the Nordic region, and jointly share information and knowledge on how these systems are used in the different emergency preparedness organisations. The workshop was organised by Norway (NRPA), Sweden (SSM), Finland (STUK) and Denmark (DEMA), and had 23 participants from 10 different countries.

The workshop was organised into three sessions. The first session was a Nordic session with presentations from the four organising countries followed by a plenary discussion. The second session was dedicated to international presentations on the use of DSS in Germany, Poland, Australia, Brazil and Canada. The last session looked at more in-depth use of DSS, and what can be expected from the systems in the future.
