Abstract

This article focuses on enhancing the joint operational capabilities of the military, police, fire department, and other relevant organizations, as well as ensuring effective command and control relationships in disaster management. Effective response and coordination in disaster situations require collaboration and integration among different organizations. The article examines the disaster management system and practices in the United States, focusing on the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other relevant agencies. It also analyzes how cooperation between military and civilian authorities is achieved and how existing legal regulations support and enhance these processes. Supported by case studies and literature reviews, this study highlights critical elements such as training, exercises, technological infrastructure, and legal regulations for developing joint operational capabilities. Finally, recommendations for improving coordination and command-control relationships in disaster management are presented.
