Hastily Formed Networks (HFNs), a term used to describe the association of multi-organizational groups that quickly join together to provide mutual assistance and create coordinated action in crises—such as the December 2004 tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the attack on the World Trade Center and the 2005 Pakistan earthquake (Denning, 2006a). These crisis events overwhelm existing organizational structures and require responding organizations to collectively create ad hoc collaborative structures to address the relief effort without the formal establishment of a hierarchical command and control structure. The challenge for these organizations is to quickly mobilize, organize and address the serious crisis events, particularly when serious degradations or breakdowns occur in existing organizational structures and infrastructure (Huston, 2006). The goal of this study is to determine the applicability of an adapted spatial coalition game theory model in identifying the high functioning emergency response structures needed to support the creation of HFNs that address rapid onset disasters and major crisis events. Understanding which organizational structures best support these HFNs is important in addressing not only disasters and disaster relief challenges but any managerial crisis with which existing structures lack the ability to cope.
