With the increasing social and economic devastation caused by disasters around the world, the international community and country-level National Disaster Management (NDM) authorities have placed improving their ways to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters as a top priority. Technological advancements and the 4th Industrial Revolution are critical tools to help achieve this. However, they also present many challenges to traditional NDM systems by altering the fundamental operational, organizational, and social dynamics of conventional disaster management. Currently, there is a lack of research that studies these aspects beyond technology and examines the impact of digital transformation on the full life cycle of disaster management on the national level. Therefore, this research fills this gap by integrating interdisciplinary concepts from different research fields including Disaster Management, Information Systems, and Business Management to understand the impact and determinants of digital transformation in NDM systems. To achieve this, the research uses the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and conducts semi-structured interviews with UK NDM experts. The results show that the impact of digital transformation on NDM is profound, paradoxical, multi-directional, and driven by a multitude of driving forces. This research makes many significant contributions to research and practice. Theoretically, this research expands the TOE framework beyond its original underpinnings by uncovering a new set of disaster-context determinants. It also presents an innovative Layered Cake FAST (Foundations-Approach-Strategy-Technology) Model that offers a unique roadmap for NDM on how to handle its digital transformation journey. Practically, the research presents several sets of useful expert-recommended actions.

数字化转型的灾害管理:探索英国国家灾害管理经验的影响和关键决定因素。

随着世界各地灾害造成的社会和经济破坏日益严重,国际社会和国家级国家灾害管理 (NDM) 当局已将改进其减轻、准备、响应和从灾害中恢复的方法作为重中之重. 技术进步和第四次工业革命是帮助实现这一目标的关键工具。然而,它们也通过改变传统灾害管理的基本操作、组织和社会动态,对传统 NDM 系统提出了许多挑战。目前,缺乏对技术以外的这些方面进行研究,并检验数字化转型对国家层面灾害管理全生命周期影响的研究。所以,这项研究通过整合来自不同研究领域(包括灾难管理、信息系统和业务管理)的跨学科概念来填补这一空白,以了解 NDM 系统中数字化转型的影响和决定因素。为实现这一目标,该研究使用技术-组织-环境 (TOE) 框架,并与英国 NDM 专家进行半结构化访谈。结果表明,数字化转型对 NDM 的影响是深远的、自相矛盾的、多方向的,并且受到多种驱动力的驱动。这项研究对研究和实践做出了许多重大贡献。从理论上讲,这项研究通过发现一组新的灾难背景决定因素,将 TOE 框架扩展到其原始基础之外。它还提出了一种创新的分层蛋糕 FAST(基础-方法-战略-技术)模型,为 NDM 如何处理其数字化转型之旅提供了独特的路线图。实际上,该研究提出了几套有用的专家推荐行动。
