A website for students, teachers and practitioners of disaster management, homeland security and a little Cold War history.
COVID-19 NOTE
There are far too many articles to post about COVID-19. I will be posting articles that highlight some of the things that catch my disaster professional eye.
PLEASE follow the CDC's CORONAVIRUS.GOV website, as well as your state health department's page for the best information without media commentators coloring the info.

Explaining Mobilization and Performance of Collaborations in Routine Emergency Management
Explaining Mobilization and Performance of Collaborations in Routine Emergency Management:
Researchers as well as practitioners often elevate collaborative governance as a necessary condition for effective responses to extreme events. This research has a dominating focus on large-scale catastrophes and disasters, whereas little attention is devoted to less serious emergencies. Another void concerns performance measurement. Addressing these gaps, this study investigates plausible explanations for collaborative activity and outcomes in response to extreme winter conditions in Sweden. Analysis of a survey of Swedish public managers suggests that, in this case, collaborative action is associated with preparatory actions and disruptions affecting other organizations. The analysis generates conflicting findings regarding underlying explanations for collaborative outcomes.
