Topic 2: Need for Preparedness
As outlined in the readings, communicating the need for preparedness can be a very daunting task. During Hurricane Katrina the local news channels showed thousands of residents stranded at the Superdome.
Some theorists argued that the local, state, and federal governments should have played a larger role in the evacuation process, while others argued that the individual residents should have taken proper precautions.
Explore these arguments further in the discussion. How much of a responsibility for preparedness rests with the individual? With the community? With the local, state, and/or federal government?
Topic 3: Preparedness: Community and Business Sector Partners
It is a recognized principle that a plan involving the coordinated efforts of multiple resources will produce the best results. The private sector is emerging as an increasingly important component as a sector partner.
As an emergency coordinator, how would you recruit and involve community and business sector partners in preparedness and response programs and activities?
