Disaster response requires rapid, complex action by multiple agencies that may rarely interact during nondisaster periods. Failures in communication and coordination between agencies have been pitfalls in the advancement of disaster preparedness. Recommendations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency address these needs and demonstrate commitment to successful disaster management, but they are challenging for communities to ensure. In this article we describe the application of Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines to the 2008 and 2009 Chicago Marathon and discuss the details of our implementation strategy with a focus on optimizing communication. We believe that it is possible to enhance community disaster preparedness through practical application during mass sporting events.
灾难响应需要多个机构迅速、复杂地采取行动，而这些机构在非灾难时期可能很少互动。机构之间沟通和协调的失败一直是灾难准备工作的绊脚石。联邦紧急事务管理局的建议满足了这些需求，并展示了其对成功灾害管理的承诺，但社区在确保这些建议的落实方面面临挑战。在本文中，我们描述了联邦紧急事务管理局指南在 2008 年和 2009 年芝加哥马拉松比赛中的应用，并讨论了实施策略的细节，重点是优化沟通。我们相信，通过在大型体育赛事中的实际应用，提高社区的灾难准备能力是可行的。
