Abstract
Disasters do not follow scripts and the management of disasters requires that responders act as "emergent organizations". We argue that a computer simulation model of the management of a major landslide suggests a disequilibrium-experimenting-emergence process in terms of feedback loops (Performance adjustment, Cognitive load causes errors, Communication mismatch causes errors, and Learning). Arguably, improvement of the drivers of such feedback could help improve the management of disasters.
