18 Mar Unit 5 Discussion Board- Emergency Management
Mapping the Ecosystem: Emergency Management in Your Community
Imagine you’re guiding a new intern through your local emergency management landscape. Share in-depth details about how your community tackles this crucial responsibility:
Who wears the helmet? Is emergency management a full-time position with a dedicated department, or is it integrated into another agency, perhaps shared across fire, police, and other emergency services?
Beyond titles and structures: Describe the key players involved – volunteers, NGOs, private sector stakeholders – and how they contribute to the overall emergency management framework.
Strengths and challenges: Highlight what you see as the most effective aspects of your community’s approach and identify any areas where you think improvement is needed.
