Crisis management frameworks are typically associated with concepts related to command and control or " hierarchical " decision-making. However, advancements in communication technologies and new media platforms have brought new prospects to the design of crisis management frameworks. Social media platforms, for example, enable volunteering citizen...

Social Media play a critical role during crisis events, revealing a natural coordination dynamic. We propose a computational framework guided by social science principles to measure, analyze, and understand coordination among the different types of organizations and actors in crisis response. The analysis informs both the scientific account of coop...

... Many scholars had recognized coordination between organizations involved in disaster response leaning towards Type III or Type IV behavior when organizations find themselves in a networked-coordination environment. In such environment, the involved parties work together towards common goals, responsibilities and unified action to produce a shared outcome ( Kapucu, 2005;Moynihan, 2009;Abbasi & Kapucu, 2012;Kapucu & Garayev, 2013, Sabou et al, 2015, Noori, 2016b). ...
Coordination is an important factor that affects directly the outcome of response operations in
disaster management networks. Disaster management frameworks and protocols establish a
foundation for organizational collaboration and coordination in the event of a crisis (natural or
man-made). Existing disaster management frameworks are based on concepts borrowed from
military practices (i.e. command and control) and conventional organizational operations. Due
to the complex nature of a disaster or emergency, the existing approach is failing to cope with
such high levels of uncertainty and intense occurrence of changes during the course of a
disaster. Instead of being locked-in rigid response plans, organizations and individuals managed
to cope with disasters’ complexities by forming network-governed structures. Those networks
are formed in response to the unfolding needs of coping with a disaster incident.
Understanding the characteristics of those emerging networks in disaster response operations is
critical to the whole process of developing proper disaster response frameworks that would
help in preventing losses in human lives and assets.
In this research, we examine examples of disaster response operations to study the patterns of
networked-coordination between the organizations engaged in those response operations. To
achieve the research goals, we develop a new methodology for examining the coordination
dynamic in disaster response networks. The analysis outcome provides a dynamic perspective
that describes the evolution of coordination-clusters in network-governed structures.
Understanding characteristics of coordination-clusters helps to identify critical tasks and units
beyond the resources required during disaster response operations. The research work
contributes to the continuous changes in concepts of disaster and crisis management and the
shift towards a network and function-based response systems.
