Background and Objective:With the recent expansion of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in Japan’s water sector, disaster response is increasingly handled by "matrix organizations" involving public, private, and local governments. However, chronic management inadequacies persist due to top-to-bottom organizational structures. Specifically, a lack of unified terminology and the persistence of vertical silos even during emergencies remain significant issues. This study presents a methodology for identifying tasks that require standardization by analyzing disaster response data from the past 30 years. Our approach utilizes the Incident Command System (ICS) and the Disaster Research Center (DRC) Typology to address structural bottlenecks. Methods:We conducted a comprehensive analysis of 1994-2024 water-related disaster reports, applying the ICS temporary organizational framework. Subsequently, focusing on several PPP projects, we categorized and analyzed existing emergency response operations through a combined lens of the ICS frame and DRC Typology. Finally, we quantitatively calculated the impact of task standardization on the efficiency of initial emergency responses. Results and Discussion:The literature review revealed three fundamental structural issues: (1) insufficient dynamic resource matching, (2) insufficient prioritization between conflicting operations, such as emergency water supply versus pipeline restoration, and (3) communication breakdowns resulting from non-standardized information protocols. Furthermore, the analysis confirmed that using ICS and DRC typology to standardize work can reduce workloads during initial response operations by up to 70%. For example, standardizing tasks such as aggregating external information and requesting aid categorized under "Operational units × Regular and Expanded" facilitates smoother reception of external assistance. Conclusion:In the context of "matrix organizations," the combined use of ICS and DRC Typology serves as an effective tool for logically determining which tasks should remain internal and which should be standardized for external delegation. As a result, it was indicated that the approach provides a framework for optimizing resource allocation in complex disaster scenarios.
