Abstract

Networks have become a widely utilized method for dealing with emergencies and disasters. Researching this aspect of the emergency management process can effectively contribute to the outcome of disaster response and recovery by providing insight into the operations and processes of disaster management as well as ways to better utilize network resources and relationships. This article compares vertical and horizontal networks using the example of two counties in Florida. Understanding these network approaches contributes to efficient emergency management networks, thus strengthening outcomes in disaster response and recovery. The findings offer practical implications for local-level emergency management agencies.
