Abstract

This study attempted to identify the components of expertise of public officials working in emergency management. For this purpose, a Delphi survey was conducted to ascertain the views of public officials in emergency management regarding the components of expertise. Results showed that public officials in emergency management in the central government considered the most necessary component as horizontal collaboration ability with government organizations on the same level. Public officials working in emergency management in local government considered on the job experience in emergency management the most needed component. Regarding the stage of emergency management, public officials in charge of prevention and preparedness considered professional knowledge of emergency management theory/technology the most necessary. For those in charge of response, shrewd judgment ability was most required, while those in charge of recovery considered on the job experience in emergency management the most required. In terms of the position of public officials, higher-ranked public officials in emergency management regarded fast decision-making capability as most important, whereas lower-ranked public officials in emergency management regarded on the job experience in emergency management or job responsibility as most important.
