This study investigates how public organizations strategically respond to natural hazards, focusing on transit agencies in the US. It explores the impact of contextual factors, such as experience of natural hazards, transit infrastructure conditions, and public managers' risk perceptions, on coordination strategies. The findings shed light on how transit agencies consider service area vulnerabilities and balance organizational capacity, risk, and equity.
How public organizations respond strategically to natural hazards is relevant for maintaining functionality and protecting citizens. An essential component of strategic response is coordinating with multiple organizations in ways that provide resources and mutual support. Drawing from resource dependence and cognitive behavior theories, we investigate how different contextual factors predict coordination strategy. We focus on transit agencies in the US and develop hypotheses about how the experience of natural hazards, the transit infrastructure conditions, and public managers' risk perceptions determine their coordination as responses to immediate and future extreme weather events. This study aims to contribute to the strategic management of natural hazards literature. In particular, we expect that the findings will illuminate how transit agencies consider service area vulnerabilities as part of their strategic coordination efforts. Further, the study will provide insights to managers who are facing the need to balance organizational capacity, risk, and equity.
