“Recommendations for Improving Civilian-Military Disaster Coordination: A Systematic Review of an International Bio-Disaster Response Utilizing Interoperability Assessment Models”
In disaster and bio-emergency response, interoperability isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline. When civilian, military, and humanitarian systems operate in silos, critical time, resources, and lives are lost.
This poster, presented in Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, reviewed international experiences in civilian–military disaster coordination using established interoperability assessment models such as JESIP, OIMM, and HSIC. The findings underscored that while shared situational awareness, joint risk understanding, and standardized communication are strengths, significant gaps remain in joint preparedness, co-location during operations, and technology integration.
The analysis highlights a need for a combined interoperability framework one that allows agencies to self-assess, identify coordination gaps, and strengthen response readiness before the next crisis.
True interoperability extends beyond technology or command structures. It requires trust, communication, and shared intent across organizations that may have different missions but the same goal: saving lives.
How we prepare together determines how effectively we respond together.
