Established mechanisms that have worked reasonably well for the coordination of the international humanitarian assistance to conflict situations seem to fail in the heated response to large-scale earthquakes.

This paper discusses how some technical specificities of shuch emergency interventions interact with the exponential growth in the number and diversity of the actors and with a confused international legal framework to make the coordination of earthquake response a huge and evolving challenge.
