Abstract

This article describes a case study of the SW application Practis being used for education and training purposes in the field of emergency management. The case study is focused on a traffic accident with a leakage of a dangerous chemical substance in the town of Kroměříž. The article further describes this event together with the procedure of creating a scenario for its solution and the subsequent evaluation of the training performed using the SW. The case study substantiates the importance of SW support for the education and preparation of members of the Integrated Rescue System; in addition, it enables education to be performed through play and practical training. Finally, the article discusses the possibilities and significance of SW Practis in the educational processes and the possibilities of interconnecting advantages of live and computer simulations.

Highlights

Training of specialists from the field of Integrated Rescue System (IRS) has a long tradition in the Czech Republic
It can employ specialized SW tools to support and implement the training. This means that computer simulations are used and these may be supplemented with live simulation elements
The use of SW applications to implement the training for increasing knowledge and skills of the IRS is a commonly used method

Summary

Introduction

Training of specialists from the field of Integrated Rescue System (IRS) has a long tradition in the Czech Republic. Due to a large number of activities that IRS members have to manage and the need for their effective co-operation, it is essential to use functional methods and tools for their training and education. One of these tools is simulation [4]. It can employ specialized SW tools to support and implement the training This means that computer simulations are used and these may be supplemented with live simulation elements. One of these specialized SW tools is SW Practis This SW serves to prepare and support training by means of both live and computer-based simulations
