Conceptual model: individual, organizational, and system connectivity

Legend: The arrows represent the relationships between individuals and organizations. In the first drawing, “individuals,” the arrows represent how the employee (shaded image) connects to the coworkers, and how coworkers connect to each other. In the second drawing, “organizations,” the arrows indicate how the connections develop within an organization, and how the organization works and relates outside of itself. Shaded individuals belong to the same organization. In the third drawing, “response system,” the arrows indicate the response team and how the many organizations in the team come together as one unit (i.e., all agencies working in concert in response to an event).
