TL;DR: This review will suggest that the “community resilience” agenda has only been partly realized in practice, but that the social identity approach is progressing this, and derive from the research literature and from dialogue with groups involved in emergencies a set of 12 recommendations for both emergency managers and members of the public affected by emergencies.

TL;DR: If behaviour in the pandemic is a function of mutable group processes rather than fixed tendencies, then behavioural change is possible and a set of recommendations on facilitating the public response to COVID-19 by harnessing group processes is drawn out.

TL;DR: Current mass-casualty decontamination effectiveness, especially in children, can be optimized by the provision of a washcloth, and this simple but effective approach indicates the value of performing controlled volunteer trials for optimizing existingDecontamination procedures.

TL;DR: This study shows that an understanding of the social identity approach facilitates the development of effective responder communication strategies for incidents involving mass decontamination.

TL;DR: 4 responder management strategies that focus on increasing public compliance, increasing orderly and cooperative behavior among members of the public, reducing public anxiety, and respecting public needs for privacy are recommended.
