Part 3:Coordination and Control, Information, Administrative Structure
Most Problems in Disaster Management have been related to inadequate Coordination and Control
Coordination and ControlRoles and Responsibilities • Contingency planning and preparedness • Maintain inventory of available resources (goods & services) • Select most appropriate indicators of function • Surveillance and monitoring • Information management • Monitor status of each BSF • Coordinate overall activities of each BSF • Activation of contingency plans • Decision-making • Set Priorities • Define goals/objectives of interventions / responses
Coordination and ControlRoles and Responsibilities(continued) • Apply appropriate indicators • Exercise authority • Resource management • Initiate action as needed • Prevent resources not needed • Define progress • Provide information to all parties • Interact with the media assuring accuracy of reports • Liaison with external governments, non-governmental, inter-governmental agencies, commercial private sector • Provide quality assurance and control These are Subfunctions of Coordination and Control
Resource Management • Accumulate, process, and interpret data • Damage • Needs • Available Supplies • Procure resources needed • Match resources with needs • Allocate resources • Evaluate • Effectiveness • Efficiency • Benefits • Costs
Data vs. Information • Reliability • Reproducibility • Validity • Data Information
Static Spatial Contact Hazard Clinical External Population-at-risk Dynamic Damage Needs Finance Internal External messages Event log Special Event-specific Hierarchical Information Types
Information Structure • Structured • Unstructured
Information: Challenges • Relevance • Accuracy • Validity • Complete • Comprehensible • Immediately available • Continuously updated
Information: Barriers • People • Unfamiliarity • Incompatibility • Invalid processing and interpretation • Multiple jurisdictions • Cultures and languages • Time-consuming methods • Unnecessary duplication • Poor distribution • Non-harmonized terminology • Quality and capacity
Information Sharing • Required to make decisions • Differs with function • Expertise needed to interpret data • Information from data must be filtered • Dependence on computers/electrical power?
Information Nothing Happens Without INFORMATION
Administrative Structures • Society operates by Administrative structures, not by BSFs • Control resources • Few are self-sufficient • Larger orgs—more layers (each functionally specific) • Structure different for each organization Resources of society resident in MANY, MANY administrative entities
Administrative Entities • Governmental agencies • Intergovernmental agencies • Non-governmental organizations • Businesses • Academic institutions
