dc.description.abstractThis study assessed how well civil-military cooperation worked to mobilize resources during the Solai Dam catastrophe disaster response operation in Nakuru County, Kenya. The study was informed by general systems theory. The study's target group included 395 respondents from the multi-agency response team and other stakeholders who were involved in the Solai dam accident. A descriptive research design was used. The study's 199 respondents were chosen by stratified random selection, and its major data were gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. The researcher sought permission from the relevant authority before proceeding with data collection. A pilot study was undertaken by the researcher to evaluate the questionnaire's validity and reliability. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 23) was used in the cleaning and recording of data. The qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis while quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive, regression, and correlation analysis. Data presentation was done by the use of percentages, frequency tables, means, and narratives. The research demonstrated a positive and statistically significant impact of Civil-Military coordination in resource mobilization on the effectiveness of disaster response operations in Kenya. Based on the results of the study, it concluded that civil-military coordination in resource mobilization has a statistically and positive significant impact on disaster response operations effectiveness in Kenya. The study recommended that Civil-Military organizations must improve their command and control, understanding, knowledge, and relations to improve coordination in resource mobilization. The study further recommended strict adherence and implementation of the existing policies, legal and institutional frameworks on disaster management.en_US
