Strategies for Coordinating Disaster Responses

该项目将记录地方应急管理人员协调应对地震、飓风、洪水和其他自然灾害的战略。 研究有五个具体目标：（1）确定地方应急管理人员为协调自然灾害后出现的多组织网络的运作而实施的关键战略;（2）记录自然灾害后四个时期出现的多组织网络的组成和寿命;（3）确定自然灾害后出现的多组织网络的意外组成部分，并记录其职能、动员时间和持续时间，（4）评估所使用的策略范围与自然灾害后出现的多组织网络的关键分析特征之间的模式关系，包括形成速度，稳定性和形状;以及（5）向地方和州应急管理人员宣传所使用的战略和对社区反应有效性的政策影响。 数据将通过与当地应急管理人员的访谈和问卷调查收集。

This project will document strategies used by local emergency managers to coordinate responses to earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters. The research has five specific objectives: (1) identify key strategies implemented by local emergency managers to coordinate the functioning of multi-organizational networks that emerge following natural disasters; (2) document the composition and longevity of multi-organizational networks that emerge following natural disasters during four time periods; (3) identify unanticipated components of multi-organizational networks that emerge following natural disasters and document their functions, time and duration of mobilization, and degree to which they are integrated into the overall network; (4) assess the patterned relationships between the range of strategies used and key analytic features of multi-organizational networks that emerge following natural disasters, including speed of formation, stability, and shape; and (5) disseminate the strategies used and policy implications for community response effectiveness to local and state emergency managers. Data will be collected through interviews and questionnaires with a sample of local emergency managers.
