Abstract

The United States National Preparedness System has evolved significantly in the recent past. These changes have affected the system structures and goals for disaster response. At the same time, actors such as private businesses have become increasingly involved in disaster efforts. In this paper, we begin to fill the gap in the cross-sector literature regarding interactions that have systemic impacts by investigating how the simultaneous processes of systemic change and intensifying cross-sector interaction worked and interacted in the context of the preparedness system. We examine these inter-linkages through a qualitative study in the setting of Hurricane Sandy. Drawing from systems theory, we develop a grounded model that provides an explanation for the system change and highlights how cross-sector interaction relates to the changes observed in the system.

While we refer to systems theory already in the introduction and discuss the theory in detail in the theoretical background section, it is useful to note that the theory was not chosen as a theoretical frame for our grounded theory (GT) study before data collection. Instead, consistent with the GT approach, insights from systems theory were only integrated to the emerging grounded model as part of theory integration. Yet, similar to other scholars (e.g., Nag et al. 2007), we discuss the theory before data presentation for greater reader-friendliness.

In addition to systems theory and cross-sector interaction and social mechanisms literatures, there are additional theories and literatures that are highly relevant to our findings and grounded model, including the institutional change (Smets et al. 2012), crisis response and management (Moynihan 2009), and humanitarian operations (Day et al. 2012) literatures.
