Doctors without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières)

In response to

Does this organization claim to have a new or unique way of addressing the problems that they work on? Does their approach point to or suggest problems with other approaches?

It was a new way of addressing disaster in 1971 when it was founded.

“It’s simple really: go where the patients are. It seems obvious, but at the time it was a revolutionary concept because borders got in the way. It’s no coincidence that we called it ‘Médecins Sans Frontières.’”

Lessons in the Rubble: The World Trade Center and the History of Disaster Investigations in the United States

In response to

How (if at all) is emergency response addressed in the article or report?

This article covers the investigation procedure following a tragedy, and how the outcomes of these investigations tend to be muddled due to factors outside of logic and reason. These influencing factors make it difficult to draw conclusions as to what contributing factors were most significant in the damage sustained during the tragedy, and how to best avoid them in the future. For this reason, it addresses how difficult it is to improve disaster-response when so little useful information can be gleaned from the modern investigatory procedure.
