“…In addition, in order to more clearly analyze the types of emergency organizations and to discuss the interactions and collaboration relationships of emergency organizations in emergency cooperation, studies have introduced the network research method in order to analyze the scale of emergency organization cooperation, the overall form, and the dynamic mechanism of the emergency organization network from practical emergency cases [ 11 , 27 ]. At the same time, because abruptness, dynamics, and uncertainty are important characteristics of organizations in response to emergencies, other studies have been conducted on the dynamic emergency cooperation network from the perspectives of network evolution in different periods or network comparisons before and after emergencies.…”

“…From a practical point of view, strengthening the coordination mechanism between governments and other emergency organizations is a basic requirement of the world’s response to natural disasters [ 10 ]. Effective coordination and communication between different types of emergency organizations are necessary conditions for improving the effectiveness of natural disaster emergency management [ 11 ]. Effective cooperation between emergency organizations avoids wasting resources and reduces costs in the process of a natural disaster emergency response, and further improves the efficiency of emergency operations based on a solidified trust relationship between emergency organizations [ 12 ].…”

Natural disasters have obvious cross-regional and compound characteristics. Cross-regional emergency cooperation for natural disasters deepens the diversification of coordination relations and the complexity of interaction modes among emergency response organizations, including horizontal and vertical organizational interactions. In order to clarify the cooperation mechanism of emergency organizations during cross-regional emergency cooperation for natural disasters and to explore the key factors that affect the cooperative relationships of emergency organizations, in this study, a game model is constructed based on evolutionary game theory, which is composed of local, neighboring, and central governments. Then, the stability of the emergency game strategy is analyzed. On this basis, a numerical simulation is used to simulate the dynamic evolution trajectory of the game system. The results show that there is an embedded mutual promotion mechanism that evolves towards a positive emergency strategy combination among the game subjects. The selection strategies of the game subjects show the characteristics of consistency and the following: enhanced cooperation efficiency between local and neighboring governments, emergency capital stock, and shared resources, therefore, guiding social emergency forces to actively participate in emergency operations. Strengthening the emergency dispatching strength of the central government and the effectiveness of central–local emergency dispatching, can support the performance of cross-regional emergency cooperation for natural disasters. Furthermore, the efficiency of cooperation between local and neighboring governments will be enhanced.

“…These collaborative structures for confronting disaster (EMNs) have become essential for effective emergency management (Gerber and Robinson, 2009;Du et al, 2020). Collaboration can be described as the process of facilitating multi-organizational actions for solving problems that cannot be achieved, or achieved easily, by single organizations (Agranoff and McGuire, 2003).…”

“…As a result, current research has focused on the complex context of disasters by emphasizing the need for collaborative and network perspectives (Waugh and Streib, 2006;Kapucu et al, 2009;Kapucu and Garayev, 2016;Dzigbede et al, 2020). In the emergency management field, these emerging collaborative structures for confronting disaster are commonly referred to as emergency management networks (EMNs) (Du et al, 2020).…”

In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, public officials are called on to implement different strategies in order to respond effectively. One of the lessons of emergency management research is that effective response is unlikely without collaboration. Research on collaborative emergency management has focused on measuring the effectiveness of intergovernmental and intersectoral relationships, but little is known about the performance of inter-jurisdictional collaboration. This paper seeks to measure the network effectiveness of intermunicipal self-organized response to Covid-19. It uses a network analysis approach to compare planned and actual emergency management networks operating in the Santiago Metropolitan Region of Chile. Content analysis of 202 formal agreements established by municipalities in 2009-2019 was used to capture the planned network. The actual network was depicted by collecting original data through an online survey that represented the 96% of the local governments located in this Latin American city. The results show a structural gap between planned and actual networks and reveal effectiveness problems associated with the disaster preparedness phase. However, an emergent intermunicipal network has supported collaborative response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The study provides lessons for policymakers, public managers and researchers in the collaborative emergency management field.

“…The scientometric studies have been performed in different areas such as, Internet of things (Sinha et al 2019), cloud computing (Heilig and VoAY 2014), big data analytics (Xu and Yu 2019), geographic science (Biljecki 2016), health care (Galetsi and Katsaliaki 2019), and disaster emergency management (Du et al 2020). The study is unique as no publication covers recent time spam during 2005-2020 and used CiteSpace visualizations.…”

In recent years, natural and manmade disasters such as floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and tsunamis have occurred with human losses and environmental deterioration. Henceforth, to reduce the damage caused by these catastrophic events, the administration and government need to track victims and perform synchronized relief efforts on time at the disaster sites. The promising technologies of Internet communication technology (ICT), like the Internet of things, cloud computing, and data analytics, can assist various phases of disaster management. Moreover, the role of higher education spans all stages of disaster management: preparedness, response, and recovery. As educational and research contributions, higher educational institutes are essentially involved in all the disaster management stages to contribute to society broadly. Henceforth, the scientific analysis of disaster management literature is required to analyze the overall structure and developments in this domain. This study presents a scientometric analysis that evaluates the ICT-assisted disaster management research over the last 15 years (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020). It presents various empirical ways to analyze the evolution, status, and result of ICT-assisted in disaster management research. This study provides extensive insight into the publication growth, citation analysis, collaboration, and keyword co-occurrence analysis for technological trends of the ICT-assisted disaster management research. It identifies key journals, countries, and organizations that significantly contributed to this research domain. Overall, this study presents various patterns, research trends, and collaborations as the basic structure for future research in this field.
