Some general features of decision support and computerised decision support systems for emergency situations are first discussed. More specific items are then analysed, for example whether it is important to maintain coherence and uniformity between systems in Europe, and the advantage and disadvantages of large and small systems respectively. The importance of allowing a streamlined incorporation of new techniques into existing systems is stressed. Transparency and user friendliness, validation and quality assurance, uncertainties and handling of corrupted data are mentioned as important topics.
