Complex, humanitrian emergencie, lack a mechanism to coordinate, communicate, assess and evaluate response and outcome for the major participant (United Nations, International Committee of the Red Cross, nongovernmental organizations and military force). Success in these emergecies will depend on the ability to accomplish agreed upon measures of effectiveness (MOEs). A recent civil-military humanitarian exercive demostrated the ability of participants to develop consensus-driven MOEs. Measures of effectiveness have the potential to be a unifying disaster management tool and a partial solution to the communication and coordination problems inherent in these complex emergencies (AU)

In the face of disastrous flooding, the Iowa department of public health established the statewide emergency computer communications network to establish rapid electronic reporting of disaster related health data, provide e-mail communications among all country health departments, monitor the long - range public health effects of the disaster, and institute a general purpose public health information system in Iowa, Based on software (CDC wonder/PC) Provided by the centers for Disease control and prevention and using standard personal computers and modems, this system has resulted in a 10 - to 20 fold increase in surveillance efficiency at the health department, not including time saved by country network participants. It provides acritical disaster assessment capability to the health department but also facilitates the general practice of public health (AU)
