Effective communication and coordination are the twin pillars of successful disaster response and recovery. This paper examines the critical roles these functions play in emergency management and the barriers - both structural and human - that disrupt them during crises. Real-world examples, such as communication failures during the 9/11 response and infrastructure breakdowns during Hurricane Katrina, highlight the consequences of inadequate systems and inter-agency disconnection. Solutions discussed include investing in resilient technologies, fostering inter-organizational trust, cross-training agencies, and implementing interoperable communication platforms. The findings emphasize that strengthening the synergy between communication and coordination not only enhances operational efficiency but also builds long-term community resilience and reduces loss of life.
