Emergency Planning Principles

The first officers arriving on the scene will remain and continue to provide law enforcement duties and assist at the direction of the incident commander. In the emergency response procedures the fundamental priorities for officers include

The future of Emergency Managers (EM) will be greatly enhanced by seeing more and more people obtaining their bachelors degrees in this field. This is credited to more colleges offering the program, and seeing the need for it in todays ever changeling, and changing environment. Having a BA in EM could also include a chance for promotions, and higher salaries.

The emergency operations plan will assign specific city agencies within the jurisdiction orders and responsibilities they must take on during an emergency. Each of their tasks will be clearly explained and will be assigned to that specific department or agency so they will have the capability to perform them accordingly. As well as the type of assistance will be needed from the state, North Carolina, surrounding countries, federal government, and private entities. The emergency operations plan will include and prepare the cities agencies and departments that will be needed in an emergency crisis. Homeland Security, law enforcement agencies, the fire department, emergency medical services agencies, and hospitals will be the main agencies and departments on scene, each

As an official I use a S.W.O.T analyses of our event, and communicate with the public and the media for a clear and transparent agenda that is safe and organized for the public.

Historically, the United States has been one of the few Western societies to be secluded from major international conflict within domestic borders. As terrorism, a problem that seems to be borderless, natural disasters, and unconventional warfare continue to rise the citizens of the United States have begun to see its effects firsthand. This devastation has prompted a change in management of incidents that is affecting the traditional roles that agencies play in response efforts to mitigate the situation. Agencies with major responsibilities to disaster response have begun to examine other Democratic Western Countries to discuss, as well as collaborate on possible improvements. One country that departments are creating collaborative

An effective emergency operation plan (EOP) is a key component of an emergency management program which establishes the overall authority, role, and functions performed during an incident response (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2013). During an EOP, it can be used as a baseline for numerous actions that can be effective during an emergency situation by looking at methods to better protect people and property while be flexible enough to be utilized during any and all emergencies that may be encountered. The development of an EOP also dictates the functions of personnel by establishing actions that will be taken by proper authority and developing organizational relationships so operations during such an emergency can be accomplished

The purpose of the Emergency Preparedness Plan is to save lives and prevent injuries in case of emergencies such as nuclear attack, fire, natural disaster, civil disorder or other, and provide the necessary best practices to ensure all possible and relevant forms of communicating with our faculty, staff, students, and parents. Mrs. Patricia Harris of the International Studies Elementary Charter School was interviewed about the International Studies Elementary Charter School’s Emergency Management Plan and the role of the school counselor during emergencies. Surprisingly, the school counselor does not play as important of a role than one would have thought. Although, the counselor does serve as one of the Designated School Emergency Team Members, some the tasks that would seem likely the counselor would perform, are performed by other administrators. Tasks such as talking to parents or being there for the students are performed by the principal while the school counselor is delegated to direct traffic. Based on the Emergency Management Plan, it would seem that the school counselor’s role is still not clearly understood. With all the expertise that counselors can bring to a crisis situation, it’s disappointing that counselors are assigned such a miniscule task as delegating traffic. Counselor Harris did discuss the Dougherty County School System’s Crisis Team. That team is

As a health care professional, It is my responsibility to keep a very clean and safe facility at all times. The first step to making sure we are never in violation is making sure everyone is following the OSHA guidelines. Making sure to handle hazardous medical waste properly. I would also make sure my employees know what to do at all times in case of an emergency situation. During down time, I would have a requirement for every employee to just take a moment. To look around and see how they can improve the work environment.I would also make sure my patients are happy at all times.

The next measure in establishing an effective EOP is preparedness, preparedness is the continuous cycle of planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating, and taking corrective action. Training and exercising plans is the cornerstone of preparedness which focuses on readiness to respond to all-hazards incidents and emergencies (FEMA, n.d.). An example of preparedness in relation to a disaster would be evacuation plans implemented after the bombings of the World Trade Center in 1993. This type of training was instrumental in saving the lives of countless people during the terrorists’ attacks on 9/11.

Why the Emergency Management Program you may ask? Well, I’m not certain how to answer that question myself. I do know however, that I want to make a difference in this world. I have always been a confidant to both friends and strangers alike and helped out in any situation, whether its listening to my peers or just providing moral support. I guess you could say its in my nature, which is one of the many reasons why I choose this field. Ever since the disasters of Katrina and 9/11 I have found myself fascinated by the way the world is evolving in particular areas such counter-terrorism and disaster relief. I find the response of each country/culture unique in its on way because if you closely observe their responses, they each provide insight into their cultures by their actions.

Disasters, whether natural or manmade, can happen anytime and anywhere, without warning. An earthquake, hurricane, tornado, fire, or hazardous material spill or even an act of terrorism can happen

The disaster history of the State shows that it is prone to earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, extreme heat, terrorist acts, etc. Regarding its vulnerability to a range of risks, the UCLA Office of Emergency Management developed the Volunteer and Donations Management Plan to handle the volunteer activities and influx of donations in disasters. The plan may be applicable to all types of disasters, including natural events, technological incidents and terrorist incidents. It is designed for use by the UCLA Volunteer and Donations Management Unit during the response and recovery phases. It also applies to the UCLA’s entire campus and community. It may be activated when a disaster strikes and will be demobilized when the recovery phase finishes.

States, that averages around 5,000 students per institute. Those are 5,000 individuals that each university pledges to keep safe. How do these universities plan on keeping such a large number of people safe?

Emergency response planning is the most critical piece to ensuring an airport runs smoothly and effectively. Airport operations is in charge of ensuring the safety of the airport and the passengers and to ensure that the airport or airlines isn’t violating any certifications. To ensure that the airport is able to follow all operations and safety practices, the FAA does an annual inspections to check for many thing including: firefighting and rescue response, wildlife hazards, and emergency management planning (Airport Safety and Operations, 2016). Airport operations is required to make sure everyone at the airport understands how critical it is for them to stop something if they believe it is suspicious activity or trying to see if there

Creating an emergency response plan is very important in any business. There are different plans for medical, fire, police, and school. The following plans are imperative in any environment. There are many things that will happen and Incident Command System (ICS) will help to provide the responders with an effective system that works. But before we go into the structures, an understanding of an incident command system needs to be addressed. According to OSHA, n.d., “ICS is a standardized on-scene incident management concept designed specifically to allow responders to adopt an integrated organizational structure equal to the complexity and demands of any single incident or multiple incidents without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries”. ICS is a sub-model of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), as released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2004."
