To address the challenges of information sharing during the 2013 Boston Marathon attack, several measures could have been taken. Firstly, better coordination and communication among the various entities involved in the response - including local law enforcement, federal authorities, and emergency medical services - would have facilitated the sharing of information (US Senate, 2014). This could have been achieved through regular meetings and training to establish clear protocols for information exchange during emergencies. Secondly, implementing a centralized system for gathering and analyzing data from multiple sources would have provided a more comprehensive understanding of the situation on the ground. Lastly, leveraging technology such as social media platforms to disseminate crucial updates and instructions to both the public and responders would have enhanced overall awareness and response efforts. Additionally, establishing a clear chain of command and designated spokesperson would have helped streamline communication channels and avoid confusion. Coordination and communication play a crucial role in preventing and managing disasters. citerd
