Reddettiler

Reddettiler is a theoretical concept used in resilience studies and collaborative governance. It describes a modular framework for organizing emergency response and recovery, where tasks, information, and resources are partitioned into interoperable units—tiles—that can be reconfigured to fit the specifics of a crisis. The approach prioritizes redundancy, scalability, and transparent communication among diverse actors, including government agencies, non-governmental organizations, private sector partners, and affected communities. By treating functional units as building blocks, reddettiler aims to reduce single points of failure and improve speed of coordination when standard procedures are strained.

The term is a neologism whose imagery draws on tiling, with each tile representing a distinct function (for example logistics, medical care, shelter, risk communication) that can connect with others through defined interfaces and data standards. Key principles include modularity, interoperability, role clarity, and continuous feedback loops to reallocate resources as needed. The concept has been used in theoretical models and simulations to compare different coordination structures under stress, as well as in discussions about open data and inclusive governance.

Critics argue that reddettiler can risk oversimplification of complex social dynamics and that achieving true modularity in public crisis systems is challenging due to legal, cultural, and jurisdictional constraints. Proponents reply that the framework is intended as a planning lens rather than a prescriptive blueprint, useful for designing flexible, cross-sector partnerships.
