“…The existing procedural, top-down and centralized approaches are no longer adequate to cope with the new types of disasters namely, transboundary, natech, hybrid, fast-paced and Gen Z technology disasters. Russell et al (2011) argued that disaster management is a difficult field because the range of disasters and major incidents is huge. This research therefore highlighted the fact that different incidents require different management inputs; hence, a value-based approach could promise better outcomes instead of the set of predefined measures that may not fit the requirements of the situation.…”

Purpose This study aims at investigating the evolution of disaster management by identifying the different phases it has gone through over time, and laying a ground for the next generation of disaster studies that focus on value-creating and value-adding activities. Design/methodology/approach An extensive review of the existing literature was made to develop an understanding of the evolution of disaster management. This study does not aim at assessing the tools or techniques used; rather it aims at identifying the major developments that took place over time. Findings Disaster management is a dynamic process. It has encountered/experienced different evolutionary phases that indicate that it has been developing over time. It continues to evolve until today as long as disasters occur. The nature and complexity of disasters are also changing. Most importantly, what seemed to be a practical approach for managing disasters yesterday might not fit for the use of today or tomorrow. Practical implications Understanding the evolution of disaster management mirrors the evolution of mankind and the ways people survived major incidents. As life itself evolves, disasters will continue to evolve which subsequently triggers the need for broader management insight to cope with. Originality/value This study traces the evolution of disaster management and the development of research and practice in this field over time. The existing literature rarely addresses the uniqueness of individual disasters and the need to treat them differently even the recurrent ones. To the best of the author’s knowledge, there is no single study that attempted to capture the evolution of disaster management during the 20th century until today. This study aims to achieve this goal.

“…Military triage today is based on either an anatomical or physiological system whereby patients can be sorted into one of four categories: triage priorities 1, 2, 3 and dead (Russell et al 2011). Physiological systems have an advantage over anatomical systems as vital signs are obtained rapidly.…”

“…The underlying principle of mass casualty incidents is to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of casualties in a setting where clinical demand overwhelms the available resources. The priority in these circumstances would be the treatment of patients for whom immediate care would provide a positive outcome (Russell et al 2011).…”

Emergency care services in the UK are receiving increasing numbers of patients presenting with a wide range of problems, from life-threatening conditions to minor injury or illness. All patients seeking emergency care need to be assessed and classified to prioritise those who have the most urgent problems and are in need of immediate care. This article provides an overview of triage within an emergency care setting. It explores the development of triage and describes the nationally recognised Manchester Triage System. The professional and legal responsibilities of the triage nurse are also discussed.

“…This means that Sweden, in international comparison, is unique. It can be compared, for example, with Norway, Denmark, and the United Kingdom where the police lead the work at incident sites, and the Netherlands where it is the rescue services that have a similar function (Russell et al 2011).…”

Learning and Usefulness of Collaboration Exercises: A Study of the Three Level Collaboration (3LC) Exercises between the Police, Ambulance, and Rescue Services

In this article, we studied collaboration exercises (3LC) between the rescue services, ambulance services, and police force, which were developed to enhance learning and usefulness. The exercises’ structure was based on identified deficiencies in previous collaboration exercises. The purpose was to test the exercise model in terms of learning and usefulness. Ten 3LC exercises were observed. A total of 65 semi-structured interviews were conducted (2011–2014) in connection with the exercises. The exercises contained across-boundary elements, seminars, and interactive documentation. The participants were given the opportunity to discuss, analyze, and critically reflect on their efforts. During the seminars, the individual actions were analyzed, which led to alternative strategies that were subsequently tested in a repeated exercise. Our results demonstrate that repetitive features and seminars during collaboration exercises promote learning toward an organic behavior and usefulness in the actual incident work.
