Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The research question of this study is: "what lessons have been learned from the civil-military cooperation in Heidelberg, Germany, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what needs to be done to be better prepared for future disasters?" It is expected that the results of this research provide a deep expert insight into COVID-19 disaster preparedness at the local level. Flanked by comparison with published experiences at the global level, these lessons-learned would contribute to strengthening local crisis resilience sustainably in the future.
