One could say the Fire Service possess one unique quality about how it operates daily and that is the culture and the community that lies within every department. Culture is defined as defined by Miriam-Webster “the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations (Definition of Culture, 2017, para. 5).” The many diverse aspects of each department in still’s a variety of cultural differences separating one department from the next.

Local protective measure planning equips first responders with the knowledge needed to organize efficient response results in the event of an emergency. Structured open dialogue between local emergency jurisdictions enables responders to delegate the appropriate individuals and equipment resources to the impacted local areas requiring the most aid following a terror event. By establishing a streamlined communication framework, local emergency responders can collaborate their efforts and resources to promote collective well-being. When a local emergency plan specifies what responders and resources belong where and at what time, response overlap and shortages can be avoided. Unionized response action established prior to a terrorist incident, serves to mitigate the risks, hazards and threat of injury or harm the people and property of the US face when a terrorism event occurs. Furthermore, a structured local emergency operations plan for a hazardous materials incident involving a terrorist is imperative to public health and safety, as the blueprint outlines protective measures the public can follow to minimize their exposure to dangerous substances. The people of a community affected by a terror event can be warned and notified of the event’s associated dangerous materials, which threaten their well-being, through a variety of methods such as warning sirens or horns, emergency alert systems, automated
Route 66. One of the first roads of the U.S. highway network to be built, Route 66 ran for 2448 miles from Chicago, IL, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before finally ending in Santa Monica, CA. First commissioned on November 11, 1926, the road also became known as the Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and the Main Street of America. With the development of the Interstate highway system and, especially, I-40, Route 66 became less relevant and was scheduled to be decommissioned. When it became apparent the interstate highway would bypass Williams, the town filed a lawsuit against the Federal government in an attempt to block construction of the highway. To settle the suit, the Federal government agreed to build three exits on I-40 for Williams, effectively ending the litigation. With the lawsuit settled, construction of I-40 was completed and, on October 13, 1984, Route 66 was officially decommissioned, signaling the end for one of America’s most storied
The wreaths may look like any average holiday decoration but Schuyler County Emergency Management is using them to send a bigger message this holiday season. Each fire department in Schuyler County starts out with a wreath full of blue lights. The idea is to keep it that way. "Anytime there's a structure fire within Schuyler County, we change a blue bulb to a red one just as an awareness to people that there was a fire and to try and remind people to be safe around the holidays," explains the Schuyler County Emergency Management Coordinator, Bill Kennedy.

The police is charge of the city limits and the sheriff is in control of the county roads which are outside the city limits but there jurisdiction only covers public county roads not private roads for example, during my ride along there was a complaint that was complaining about four wheelers making a lot of noise down the road due to the road being private the deputy advise her that the road has to be own by the county and he couldn’t do anything. During my ride along I was able to make observations on how
The private sector plays a vital role in carrying out the objectives within all 16 sector specific plans. The Emergency Services Sector includes but is not limited to first responding services such as; public work, fire, medical or police services. The goals and objectives of ESS specific plans are to provide first responder services as one of their main missions is the prevention to life. This sector is extremely important as they are the first responders to any type of incident that may even be impacted to other sectors. The National Infrastructure Protection Plan for this sector describes the tasks, duties and responsibilities that the private sector has in order to effectively and successfully operate this types of critical infrastructures. Just like any other sector, this sector requires the private sector to have a good relationship with state, local, tribal, territorial governments, Federal Government and outside organizations as well. Threats, risks, and vulnerabilities are acknowledged and analyzed in every respective infrastructure as they are all different.
