A theoretical framework for negotiating the path of emergency management multi-agency coordination

DOI: 10.1016/J.APERGO.2014.10.014
Abstract: Multi-agency coordination represents a significant challenge in emergency management. The need for liaison officers working in strategic level emergency operations centres to play organizational boundary spanning roles within multi-agency coordination arrangements that are enacted in complex and dynamic emergency response scenarios creates significant research and practical challenges. The aim of the paper is to address a gap in the literature regarding the concept of multi-agency coordination from a human-environment interaction perspective. We present a theoretical framework for facilitating multi-agency coordination in emergency management that is grounded in human factors and ergonomics using the methodology of core-task analysis. As a result we believe the framework will enable liaison officers to cope more efficiently within the work domain. In addition, we provide suggestions for extending the theory of core-task analysis to an alternate high reliability environment.

Large civilian air medical jets: Implications for Australian disaster health
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 11-2012
DOI: 10.1016/J.AMJ.2012.04.001
Abstract: Disasters involving multiple foreign nationals overseas will invariably necessitate an air medical response to repatriate the casualties to their respective home countries. Depending on the location of the incident and the number of casualties, foreign governments may need to perform a large-scale air medical response. This may involve using large civilian jet aircraft (LCJ) as an air medical platform. This paper provides a review of the current understanding when converting LCJs for air medical capability. This review concludes that LCJ configured for air medical capability can be used successfully in disasters. The findings indicate that standard civilian jets can be reconfigured for transporting multiple casualties. The use of these aircraft can be considered in disaster planning to complement existing military arrangements or as an alternative option. This strategy can be an inexpensive and effective option and should be considered by Australian disaster health agencies.
Microbial hydrogen cycling in agricultural systems – plant beneficial or detrimental?
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 24-06-2023
Abstract: Hydrogen‐oxidising bacteria play a key role in maintaining the composition of gases within the atmosphere and are ubiquitous in agricultural soils. While studies have shown that hydrogen accumulates in soil surrounding legume nodules and the soil surface, soils as a whole act as a net sink for hydrogen, raising questions about how hydrogen is internally recycled by soils. Can the energy derived from hydrogen oxidation be directly funnelled into plants to promote their growth or does it only act as a booster for other plant‐growth promoting bacteria? Moreover, while the fertilisation effect of hydrogen on plants has previously been shown to be beneficial, questions remain about the upper limit of hydrogen uptake by plants before it becomes detrimental. Agricultural practices such as fertilisation may impact the balance of hydrogen‐oxidisers and hydrogen‐producers in these ecosystems, potentially having detrimental effects on not only agricultural land but also global biogeochemical cycles. In this perspectives piece, we highlight the importance of understanding the contribution of hydrogen to agricultural soils and the effects of agricultural practices on the ability for bacteria to cycle hydrogen in agricultural soils. We propose a framework to gain better insights into microbial hydrogen cycling within agroecosystems, which could contribute to the development of new agricultural biotechnologies.

Addressing challenges for future strategic level emergency management: reframing, networking, and capacity-building
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 12-05-2016
DOI: 10.1111/DISA.12196
Abstract: The mounting frequency and intensity of natural hazards, alongside growing interdependencies between social-technical and ecological systems, are placing increased pressure on emergency management. This is particularly true at the strategic level of emergency management, which involves planning for and managing non-routine, high-consequence events. Drawing on the literature, a survey, and interviews and workshops with Australia's senior emergency managers, this paper presents an analysis of five core challenges that these pressures are creating for strategic-level emergency management. It argues that emphasising 'emergency management' as a primary adaptation strategy is a retrograde step that ignores the importance of addressing socio-political drivers of vulnerabilities. Three key suggestions are presented that could assist the country's strategic-level emergency management in tackling these challenges: (i) reframe emergency management as a component of disaster risk reduction rather than them being one and the same (ii) adopt a network governance approach and (iii) further develop the capacities of strategic-level emergency managers.
Perceptions of strategic decision‐making by crisis management teams during exercising: Establishing key dimensions
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 12-12-2022
Abstract: To survive and thrive in a crisis requires crisis management teams (CMTs) to make sound strategic decisions. This paper examines the perceptions of CMTs from a group of nonresponse organisations to identify dimensions of the strategic decision‐making process during a crisis management exercise. The paper draws on data collected during a series of exercises with seven Australian government agencies and businesses. Using principal component analysis, this paper outlines four dimensions that are perceived to support strategic decision‐making in this context—psychological safety, critical thinking, managing expectations and adaptive capability. Embedding these dimensions within key systems and processes can provide CMTs with the structure they need to effectively respond to a crisis and enhance organisational resilience.

Application of microcredentials to validate human capabilities in a large telecommunications organisation: strategic transformation to a future-ready workforce
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 02-05-2023
DOI: 10.1108/IJILT-05-2022-0102
Abstract: The value of transverse skills, including human capabilities, has been acknowledged for a significant period of time by major organisations such as UNESCO and the World Economic Forum. This paper reports on the application of microcredentials linked to the Human Capability Framework in a major telecommunications organisation that has a vision to establish a baseline to develop the levels of capability for both in idual employees and the entire workforce. In this case study, capability is evidenced through learning and applied performance specified in a microcredential that carries a credit-entry score into higher education qualifications. The value of the microcredentials lies not in recognising learning outcomes rather, it lies in an in idual's ability to validate their full potential, open sustainable employment opportunities and prepare for emergent new roles. This commentary offers a case study of how a major Australian telecommunications organisation implemented microcredentials that are aligned to the Human Capability Framework Standards reference model. The approach in this case study demonstrates how a company that confidently invests in non-traditional learning approaches that increase the value of human capital can tangibly grow the capacity of the workforce to deliver not only its strategy but also its cultural values. The multi-award-winning model described in this case study is novel and clearly informs current research and thinking addressing this topic.
