Power and Cognitive Accuracy in Local Emergency Management Networks

Using network power bases and cognitive accuracy concepts, this study examines two local emergency management network changes. The authors review five power bases—structural‐based, resource‐based, actor‐based, cognitive‐based, and political‐based power—to explore the perceived power of network actors. Three research propositions are proposed with respect to the relationship between the network power bases and the cognitive accuracy of network participants. The authors find that political‐based power is strongly correlated with perceived power. The article concludes with future research questions and directions for advancing current scholarship on emergency management networks
