Abstract:

The paper first makes a case for the strategic importance of U.S. disaster response capabilities in order to justify the commitment of attention and resources needed to develop a new response framework. It next reviews the current U.S. Government international disaster response system and highlights shortcomings in practice with two case study examples-the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo and the response to Hurricane Mitch. The paper then critiques the current disaster response system in four key areas-leadership, the interagency process, resources, and strategic planning. Finally, the paper offers options and recommends ways to construct a more effective U.S. Government framework for international disaster response.
