Dr Dolapo Fakuade’s research explored integrated response as a process for enhancing emergency management. Dolapo investigated existing functions within communities that can be utilised for preparedness and response functions to enhance resilience. The result was the development of an integrated response framework that combines existing community functions that align with Incident Command System (ICS) structure and function domains of ICS.
Dolapo now runs her own consulting business in emergency management and community engagement in Christchurch, Resilespur Consulting, and is an advisory board member for the Journal of Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, published by Ahi Evran University in Turkey.
