Abstract
Multi-agency coordination represents a significant challenge in emergency management. The need for
liaison officers working in strategic level emergency operations centres to play organizational boundary
spanning roles within multi-agency coordination arrangements that are enacted in complex and dynamic
emergency response scenarios creates significant research and practical challenges. The aim of the
paper is to address a gap in the literature regarding the concept of multi-agency coordination from a
humaneenvironment interaction perspective. We present a theoretical framework for facilitating multiagency
coordination in emergency management that is grounded in human factors and ergonomics
using the methodology of core-task analysis. As a result we believe the framework will enable liaison
officers to cope more efficiently within the work domain. In addition, we provide suggestions for
extending the theory of core-task analysis to an alternate high reliability environment.
