Major milestones in the evolution of our emergency management system are identified on pages 161-162. Which four do you think are the most important?
Figure 6-1 has a lot of detail but it is an important figure. Above and beyond all of the detail what are two or three general observations one can make about our government structure and how we respond to disasters? What do you see in this figure that explains why we repeatedly saw Thad Allen from the Coast Guard on TV during the BP disaster and not Craig Fugate from FEMA?
What happened to FEMA when DHS was created?
What is NIMS? What is it trying to accomplish?
What were some of the organizational issues still being addressed (see page 181)? Berke et al.
According to the authors, what are some of the positive things that can be accomplished by a community during recovery from a disaster?
The authors suggest that creative recovery efforts are hampered by various presumptions about communities and citizens (see second page of article). What are some of these presumptions?
What is the “value added” approach to redevelopment? What is it about this approach that fits with the assumption that “Disaster recovery is ordered, knowable, and predictable”? Why might this approach be appealing to bureaucrats?
We need to talk about the authors’ ideas about horizontal and vertical integration of communities and how these types of integration (or lack thereof) relate to how well communities recover (or respond). However, some of this article is missing, so I will add my two cents here. 11/24—Rubin Chs. 7 & 8 Rubin, Ch. 7
What are some of the population statistics mentioned in this chapter that help explain why U.S. disasters are causing more and more damage?
The response to Hurricane Katrina revealed that not all first-responder groups were familiar with ICS. Which were and were not at the time of Katrina (see p. 192)?
9/11 led to DHS and the placement of FEMA under DHS. Then, along came Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. These storms led to the Post-Katrina Reform Act. What did this act do that changed FEMA’s role in DHS? Rubin, Ch. 8
What is meant by “dual use system”?
Explain “punctuated equilibrium theory”. Why is EM an inherently unstable system from the perspective of this theory? Why are proposed “solutions” to EM problems rarely implemented to their fullest extent before the “solutions” get overturned?
What is the difference between a command and control view of EM and a network view? Why do the authors of this chapter argue that a network model better fits EM?
