Note(s): Field notes and observation hours encompass observations and organic interactions in the local context beyond only formal meetings and informal interviews. Discrete participant engagements refer to clearly defined interactions (e.g. requested conversations or meetings) with and between participants (as opposed to organic conversations that arise in the midst of work activities) and thus reflect only a portion of the total documented field observations. Further, observation hours do not include participant rapport-building contact hours prior to the study, time spent familiarizing ourselves with the geographic area, or the post-study data verification meeting with our primary research site liaisons
EMA = Emergency Management Agency. LE = Law Enforcement. EMS = Emergency Medical Services. FR = Fire and Rescue. NWS = National Weather Service. NG-CST = National Guard Civil Support Team
