This unit examined the public, private, and volunteer sectors of the emergency management field. For this assignment, you will first need to research and identify an emergency-management-related employment position or volunteer position in your local area (McKinney, Texas – volunteer fire department) that you would like to pursue.
You will then write an essay that addresses the following:
In your introduction, describe the position you have selected and how that position interacts with stakeholders throughout the disaster cycle.
Discuss how local business and government officials team up to develop public-private relationships. What role do these relationships play in the position you selected?
Describe how public-private relationships could be fostered to ensure that when a disaster strikes all stakeholders are involved with the response effort. Identify the role the position you selected plays in the response effort.
Identify any challenges specific to the community or state (such as geography, location, or diverse populations) that would necessitate the public and private sectors working together throughout the entire disaster cycle. What sort of resources could be shared between the public, private, and voluntary sectors when facing a disaster? What resources, if any, would your position contribute?
