Building a Capabilities Network to Improve Disaster Preparation Efforts in the European Command (EUCOM) Area of Responsibility

Abstract

United States European Command's (EUCOM) website states that the breadth of responsibility across 51 countries can factor significantly into partnering opportunities and challenges. To understand this responsibility, this research analyzes the capabilities of 25 nongovernmental organizations in EUCOM's area of responsibility (AOR). Each organization is evaluated in six areas: mission, primary focus, capabilities, religious affiliation, training, and whether or not the organization liaisons with the military. The goal of this project is to develop an analysis to assist EUCOM decision makers in mitigating duplication of effort and ensuring that resources are coordinated and distributed efficiently during disaster relief efforts. The research also analyzes the mission sets of each organization: disaster relief and preparedness, food security/nutrition, water and sanitation, medical care and supplies, economic development/livelihood, and women and children.
