Resource Limitations: Insufficient resources can delay response efforts. Data Gaps: Lack of accurate and timely data can impede decision-making. Coordination Issues: Poor coordination among agencies can lead to inefficiencies and delays. Public Compliance: Achieving public compliance with control measures can be challenging, especially if there is mistrust.
