the development and use of enterprise decision support systems that maintain the
delivery of time critical public services. A normative architecture, developed
from comparative cases involving <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">San Mateo</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and Mayo Clinic Emergency Medical
Services systems, provides a collection of characteristics meant to guide an
emergency response system toward a high level of performance and enable optimal
decision-making. At a national symposium, academics and practitioners involved
in promoting effective emergency response information systems provided
validation for the architecture and next steps for enhancing emergency response
information systems. Normative architecture characteristics and expert
perspectives from the symposium are integrated into a framework that offers an
enterprise approach for delivering time-critical emergency response services.
This article provides recommendations for navigating toward a more incremental
approach in developing enterprise-oriented emergency information services and
examines future trends involving the application of normative architectural
concepts to real-world emergency medical settings.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

potential to cripple a country and those countries that are particularly
susceptible to disasters must have effective disaster recovery plans (DRP) in
place to ensure that the country can return to normalcy as soon as possible
after the devastation. However, for the plan to be effective it must be of high
quality, which is often viewed as a multidimensional concept containing
essential factors for DRP, such as consistency, completeness, reliability and
feasibility. Therefore, any methodology for the development of DRP must take
these dimensions into account as their affect on quality is considerable. In
this regard, the authors describe a quality based methodology for the
development of DRP, including a methodology that makes use of ontologies
containing properties that are suited to the development of these high quality
plans. The applicability of the proposed methodology will be demonstrated
through a case study of an electric utility company in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jamaica</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

plays a pivotal role in defining the success of organizations. Given its
importance, one might assume that modern organizations take steps to ensure the
recovery of IT services following disasters. Unfortunately, this is rarely the
case. To understand the variation in degree of IT disaster recovery planning,
this research focused on those responsible for managing IT resources and IT
directors. For the study, a survey was mailed to 337 financial service
institutions in the southeastern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Over 150 IT directors
completed self-assessments for measuring the extent to which their organization
engages in IT disaster recovery planning. In addition, they responded to a
number of questions regarding their work-related values, and over 63% of the
variance in degree of IT disaster recovery planning was explained by two
predictors: uncertainty avoidance and long-term orientation. Results show that
firms with IT professionals who prefer to avoid uncertainty and who have
long-term outlooks have more developed IT disaster recovery
plans.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
