Communicating in Chaos: The Evolution of Emergency Response Architecture and Weaknesses Therein
Abstract
The Emergency Response Architecture of the United States represents the standardization of an evolving, responsive, scalable, adaptable, complex system. This paper begins with a literature review, tracing the evolution from the 1970s origins of the Incident Command System in the United States to the more recent National Response Framework, published in 2008. the discussion continues through some of the current struggles with implementation and coordination of the highly scalable complex system, with a focus on the existing struggles with the communications and human aspects of the modern Framework, and the efforts in place to improve the structure to solve these struggles.
