A basic requirement of emergency planning is coordination, which requires a unified planning methodol­ogy and the establishment of an interdepartmental organization to facilitate the process. The quality of advance planning is of great importance for the efficient management of forces and capabilities in order to ensure timely reaction to crises and natural disasters.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
