Summary
This chapter collects lessons from the literature to outline the concrete steps necessary for organising and leading responses to emergencies, incidents, disasters, and disease outbreaks (EIDD). First, it summarises the common problems experienced in responding to EIDD. Second, it describes what steps should be taken at the policy level to prepare organisations for the challenges. Third, it outlines ways in which teams could be better organised to respond. Finally, it addresses the specific role of people who lead and manage EIDD in preparing their teams, developing capacity, and ensuring a collaborative emergency network. Although often separated into the different phases of preparedness, response, recovery, and rehabilitation, this chapter focuses on organisation and leadership in preparing for and responding to EIDD.
