Global Challenges include some issues like global climate change, increasing population and population density, increasing resource scarcities, rising income inequality, and increasing risk aversion. Global Opportunities has to do with increased scientific understanding of the hazards and societal responses, as well as revolutionary technologies. National Challenges involves increasing urbanization and hazard exposure, interdependencies in infrastructure, continued emphasis on growth, rising costs of disaster recovery, increasing population diversity, terrorist threats, low priority of emergency management, legal liability, and intergovernmental tensions. Due to these factors that will affect the direction of emergency management in the coming years, there is need for us at emergency management division to adjust operational plans to meet these challenges and especially changes emanating from constant changes expected in technology and other threats we face.

Today we had a presentation during class. The presentation goes hand in hand with the material that is being covered in class by Dr. Urby. The main concepts in the presentation were the emergency operational center, tiered response, shelters, demobilization, and demobilization. An emergency operational center is a place where each agency that is involved in the disaster is represented by one individual. Once those everyone is in the room there are decisions to be made to properly handle the disaster. Tiered Response is a basic concept that incidents are handled at the lowest jurisdiction level as possible. The four levels of jurisdiction are local, county, state, and national. National would be the last resource if the disaster cannot be handled

As we continue to grow in population current and newer have compounded into more problems that emergency planner must face and find solutions for.
