01 Feb Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the federal government’s role in coordinating homeland security efforts through DHS and related frameworks like NIMS and the NRF
The United States homeland security enterprise is intentionally decentralized, relying on a complex interplay between federal and state agencies, local authorities, and community stakeholders. The National Incident Management System (NIMS), the National Response Framework (NRF), and the whole-community approach are designed to create integration and interoperability but not uniformity.
Drawing on your readings from Alperen and this week’s lesson, respond to the following:
· Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the federal government’s role in coordinating homeland security efforts through DHS and related frameworks like NIMS and the NRF.
· Provide a specific example (historical or current) in which coordination between federal and local entities either succeeded or failed. What were the consequences?
Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length.
