Overview
This program shares the powerful findings of Dr. Gasaway’s extensive research on
issues related to first responder decision making and flawed situational awareness. In
his review of hundreds of near-miss reports, case studies, line-of-duty death reports and
videos he continually found himself being frustrated because there were so many clues,
indicators and signs that the incident was going to end in disaster.
Yet, for some reason, personnel operating at the incident scene – from company
officers to incident commanders – could not see it coming. Or if they did see it coming,
they did nothing to alter their course.
In his research to understand why first responders were (seemingly) blind and deaf to
what was happening right in front of them, Dr. Gasaway uncovered and investigated
over one hundred barriers that can destroy situational awareness and flaw decision
making.
This program focuses on some of the most pervasive situational awareness barriers first
responders will face while operating in stress-filled, dynamically-changing environments.
