Abstract
The EU FP7 project DRIVER is conducting a number of experiments to assess the feasibility of addressing
known deficiencies in crisis management. In this paper, we introduce experiments that investigate two-way
communication solutions between crisis managers and citizens or unaffiliated volunteers.
In the so-called “Interaction with Citizens” experiments we are testing the usability and acceptance of the
various methods and tools that facilitate crisis communication at several levels. This includes: informing and
alerting of citizens; micro-tasking of volunteers; gathering of situational information about the crisis incident
from volunteers; and usage of this information to improve situation awareness.
At the time of writing this paper, our “Interaction with Citizens” experiments are still under way. Therefore, this
paper reports the lessons learned in the first two experiments along with the experimental setup and expectations
for the final experiment
