Abstract
Multiagency emergency management coordination requires stakeholders to span organizational
boundaries and facilitate collaboration among other agencies within temporary supraorganizations.
Multiagency coordination is important in emergency management as disasters often
require the collaboration of multiple agencies into temporary supraorganizations. However, little
is known about the boundary spanning activities that influence this collaboration. Based
on 39 semistructured interviews with senior emergency management practitioners spanning
organizational boundaries, this paper proposes a typology of boundary spanning activities
for emergency management. Embracing these activities may address some of the challenges
associated with the collaboration of multiple agencies in a disaster.
