A framework for improving operational effectiveness and cost efficiency in emergency planning and response

Abstract

Presents a practical framework within which disaster response operational effectiveness can be balanced with cost efficiency. This balancing is accomplished through a systematic proactive planning of response requirements, costs projections, procurement and resource mobilization. The framework is useful in general disaster response planning and in the development of cost‐efficient procedures for supporting disaster response efforts. It is generic and can be adapted to local conditions and requirements.
