The authors used structural equation modelling (SEM) to test the study’s model and hypotheses. The study revealed that, the availability of logistical support during emergencies is inadequate for efficient emergency management. Regarding logistical preparedness of health professionals and security agencies, there is much needs to be doneto attain the minimum acceptable standards. The study further discovered that logistical resources are critical to the collaborative effort of health workers and security agencies. However, it was evident that collaboration among institutions does not necessarily enhance the success of emergency management.The study is significant because the steady rise in Ghana’s population coupled with urbanization has brought in its wake challenges that successive governments have struggled to surmount.The occurrence of frequent disasters meant that a study of this nature is important to bring to the fore the human and material costs, thus awakening the sensitivities of policy makers and authorities mandated to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the citizenry.
