Crisis situations require an enormous amount of flexibility from local administrations. Flexibility in the sense of changes in decision-​making structures, the recruitment of personnel and organizational processes, which lead to greater freedom of action for the actors involved. This practice paper summarizes the findings of the HybOrg research project and, based on its scientific results, it presents six recommended actions for successful and flexible administrative action in times of crisis.

This practice paper summarizes the findings of the HybOrg research project and uses its scientific results to derive concrete recommendations for action that should help to better coordinate local administrative action and civil society engagement in crises. The findings and recommendations are intended to also provide those responsible in the administration with practical decision-making support when dealing with the current COVID-19 pandemic.
