Abstract

The destructive power and frequency of natural catastrophes, such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, have seemingly increased during the past few years, and they cause substantial damage to urban communities. Disasters result in significant infrastructure damage and render vital municipal services unavailable. Natural catastrophes have complexities, uncertainties and dynamic characteristics that cause many problems and challenges for megacity emergency management. A key problem is how an emergency continuity plan – as a complex system – can ensure the sustainability of emergency response following a natural disaster. Bridging the gap between theory and practice and responding effectively to natural catastrophes require detailed planning that addresses the complexities and uncertainties.
