One of the significant issues that has been realized in a disaster is a failure in coordination between various stakeholders. It cuts across inter-agency collaboration, sub-national actors, NGOs, private entities, and parishes. If there is role confusion and responsibilities or if the response is uncoordinated during the mitigation, response, recovery or disposition phase, then resources are late in arriving or are committed to the wrong thing in that critical period affecting both short-term operations and final outcome.
And if this is not well coordinated then other key activities such as early warning systems, resources mobilization, public communication etc. can also go wrong. Capacity also leads to gaps in training and preparedness and risk assessment in the establishment of disaster resistance. This calls for a credible framework of disaster management that promotes synergy, and information exchange among all stakeholders.
