“…Other steps towards improved civil protection in Europe include the enhanced European Emergency Response Capacity (EERC), which creates a ‘voluntary pool’ that enables participating states to pre-commit response capacities, such as relief teams, experts and equipment; the Common Emergency and Communication System (CECIS) and the Integrated Political Crisis Response (IPCR), which was endorsed by the Council in order to provide political coordination in the event of a major crisis. Hence, although civil protection largely remains a regulatory and operational competence of the member states, the Union has set out increasingly ambitious policy goals, backed up by formal and legal institutionalization (Bossong and Hegemann, 2015).…”

“…1 These agencies bear the primary responsibility for coordinating national civil protection, and they serve as the national contact points for the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. Moreover, we sought broad representation in our sample for different models in EU member states for the organization of civil protection and crisis management (Bossong and Hegemann, 2015: 36; Christensen et al., 2016b; Kuipers et al., 2015). Many of our selected organizations have similar functions and carry out similar tasks of civil protection.…”

This article analyzes the link between trust in national institutions and trust in European Union-level institutions among national public officials. Previous research has mainly looked at citizens; in contrast, little is known about the views national officials actually hold towards European Union-level institutions or how much confidence they place in them. Our study draws on a unique survey of 670 officials in 17 European Union member states who are involved in civil protection, a policy area which has recently emerged as one of the most important in the Union. Three mechanisms are explored: a

“…Considering the impact of research, the field of studying new risks associated with disasters expands (Reinhardt and Ross, 2019). Known factors (Boin and Hart, 2010) and a limited synthesis of factors in emergency management systems (Bossong and Hegemann, 2013; Kuipers et al , 2015) or disaster preparedness (Cardona et al , 2005; Carreño et al , 2007) make it necessary to expand in the neglected field. As a field, the results emphasised in objective one show cast the cross-country comparability of the framework, highlighting the need to adjust frameworks to the specific natural hazard contexts.…”

“…The factors for effective systems are documented and well-known (Boin and Hart, 2010). However, limited attempts to translate or synthesise those findings into frameworks for assessing current emergency management systems (Bossong and Hegemann, 2013; Kuipers et al , 2015) or disaster preparedness (Cardona et al , 2005; Carreño et al , 2007) are available.…”

Purpose This study aims to compare the humanitarian supply chains and logistics of two countries in earthquake preparedness by modifying and using a previously established preparedness evaluation framework. Design/methodology/approach A European flood emergency management system (FEMS) is a seven-dimensional framework to assess a country’s preparedness for flood emergencies. The FEMS framework was modified to apply to earthquakes. Leveraging a multiple explanatory case study approach with data analysis, the authors reconstructed the events of the earthquakes in Pakistan (2005) and Japan (2011) with an applied grading (1–5). Findings were evaluated within the adopted FEMS framework. From a practitioner’s perspective, the framework is applicable and can accelerate support in the field. Findings Pakistan lacked emergency plans before the 2005 earthquake. In contrast, Japan possessed emergency plans before the disaster, helping minimise casualties. Overall, Japan demonstrated considerably better emergency management effectiveness. However, both countries significantly lacked the distribution of responsibilities among actors. Originality/value Practical factors in the humanitarian supply chain are well understood. However, synthesising individual factors into a comprehensive framework is difficult, which the study solves by applying and adopting the FEMS framework to earthquakes. The developed framework allows practitioners a structured baseline for prioritising measures in the field. Furthermore, this study exemplifies the usefulness of cross-hazard research within emergency management and preparedness in a real-world scenario.

“…The institutional arrangements or the coordination of emergency management generally mirrors the overall centralised or decentralised administrative system in a country (Bossong and Hegemann, 2013). In practice, these arrangements tend to be a hybrid of both centralised and decentralised coordination solutions (Christensen et al.…”

PurposeThis paper offers an empirical overview of European emergency managers' institutional arrangements and guidelines for using social media in risk and crisis communication.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collected and analysed material including publicly accessible relevant legal acts, policy documents, official guidelines, and press reports in eight European countries – Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Hungary, Finland, Norway, and Estonia. Additionally, the authors carried out 95 interviews with emergency managers in the eight countries between September 2019 and February 2020.FindingsThe authors found that emergency management institutions' social media usage is rarely centrally controlled and social media crisis communication was regulated with the same guidelines as crisis communication on traditional media. Considering this study's findings against the backdrop of existing research and practice, the authors find support for a “mixed arrangement” model by which centralised policies work in tandem with decentralised practices on an ad hoc basis.Practical implicationsComparative insights about institutional arrangements and procedural guidelines on social media crisis communication in the studied countries could inform the future policies concerning social media use in other emergency management systems.Originality/valueThis study includes novel, cross-national comparative data on the institutional arrangements and guidelines for using social media in emergency management in the context of Europe.
