What is Situational Awareness?
• Traditional situational awareness focuses on the available information in a given context or environment. − It is an “extension” of the human senses – looking, listening,
attentiveness, considering, processing and thinking.
• Capturing and incorporating all of the readily passive available information including the following:− news reports − official communication − video feeds− radio chatter− operational reports − etc.
• The issue with situational awareness is it relies on traditional, limited, often formal channels for information. These may be indirect, fragmentary and experience blockages, slowdowns and disruptions/delays.

What is situational intelligence (during a crisis)?
• It is a dynamic process of gathering information (inputs), interpreting data (insight) and informing others/requesting feedback (interaction).
• Situational intelligence is the combination of “typical” situational awarenesscombined with a social intelligence − Combining the traditional
source of information with the collective insights of the general public, employeesand others who happen to be present and closer to the situation themselves.
