Abstract
This research aims to identify effective practices and strategies that improve preparedness and response capabilities by examining the factors contributing to mitigating challenges in emergency response. A comprehensive literature review was adopted to analyse current trends, case studies, and expert opinions regarding global emergency response infrastructure. The review synthesised existing research and case studies and provided insights into practical experiences and perspectives from diverse operational contexts. The research highlights 11 factors categorised into 7 key factors that contribute significantly to mitigating challenges in emergency response. These factors include community engagement and capacity building, policy and governance, technological integration, collaboration and coordination, cultural and social integration, science and knowledge integration, outsourcing, and local initiative. The study highlights the importance of addressing potential biases in interview responses and the challenge of extrapolating results across different contexts to improve global emergency response results. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, emergency management agencies, and practitioners to implement targeted interventions to strengthen mitigating factors, such as communication infrastructure and community-centered approaches. This study provides empirical evidence and practical insights on effective emergency response strategies, emphasising the importance of proactive measures and integrated approaches for enhanced preparedness and response capacities.
