Abstract:

Communication and inter-organizational coordination in crisis management are of uttermost important for all processes and can lead to fast and effective averting or ending of a crisis situation. In this paper, a real world incident of a fire in the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol train tunnel was formalised, based on a public inquiry report, and subsequently, the emergency response to the incident was analysed by means of automatic property checking. It is shown how this approach is a convenient and effective manner to analyse communication and coordination practices in crisis management and to evaluate what went wrong, where and when.
