This work consists of a theory-based empirical study. It is qualitative in nature and the research method is based on both desk research and field research. The research was conducted as part of a research project entitled Coordination, communication and trust as factors driving effective inter-organisational collaboration in the public safety management system (DEC-2012/07/D/HS4/00537).Key findings. As a result, the new role of communication as a factor associated with the appropriate coordination in local emergency networks is identified.
