| dc.description.abstract | Local emergency management is implemented differently in individual cities and states across the United States. After-action reports continue to document deficiencies and areas for improvement after major incidents, thus raising the question of what makes local emergency management effective. One indicator of effectiveness is a high level of collaboration. This author engaged nine of the most populated U.S. cities through an Interagency Collaborative Capacity Assessment (ICCA) survey to identify characteristics of the most collaborative agencies. The thesis examines the survey results in the context of staffing, organization, accreditation and standards, and experience to identify commonalities of these agencies and create a blueprint for building effective, collaborative local emergency management agencies. From its findings, this thesis offers recommendations across these four areas to advance the understanding of collaboration and the field of local emergency management as a whole. | en_US |
