Pros And Cons Of Incident Management

Killings Caused by Communications On the September 11th attacks emergency response was paramount in rescuing the city, the people and protecting the citizens.

To work efficiently communication between one another would be key.

Whereas is fusion center system assist the homeland security, implementing fusion centers is best for emergency response given that fusion centers creates communication. Fusion Centers are a key part in the assistance of communication in a timely manner amongst many agencies. There is a definition within the USLegal.com defined: “A fusion center is a terrorism prevention and response center created as a joint project between the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs between 2003 and 2007 ("Fusion Center Law & Legal Definition," n.d.).” After the 9/11, attack the Department of Justice knew that something needed to be done in regards to communication.

Emergencies are best managed on the lowest possible level. Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 5 set the precedent for collaboration in responding to emergencies whether they are man-made or natural disasters. Resiliency creates a community that is able to come back from a crisis stronger and wiser than they were before. Although all aspects of the U.S. emergency management system are essential, the most important aspect is the whole community approach comprised of the public – private partnership and personal preparedness.

From: Ervin Jackson III To: Dr. Ponmile Olonilua HMSC-260: Introduction to Homeland Security Subject: Chapter 2 Exercise September 3, 2016 1. What are the primary missions of these organizations? The primary mission of these organizations is being prepared to handle array of natural and human disasters.

In regards to the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, the main objective of the act was to limit the ability of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement purposes, but little to no success they were used as a security detail according to White House Reports on Hurricane Katrina, sociological journals, and books ranging from Militarizing the American Criminal Justice System (Kraska, 2001) to Acts of God (Steinberg, 2006), (Farmer, 2011). Especially after Hurricane Katrina; it was a prime example of how and why a states needed to be restored with law and order after a disaster hit raising concerns on the President’s legal authority to send active duty military personnel into a disaster area with permissible functions to protect

Haiti Humanitarian Collection Plan by Mike Titus INTL 622 Dr. Holstine Collection Plan Background: There are several steps in creating a functional collection plan. The agency must first determine its mission and decide upon tasks needing to be accomplished. The tasks should be brief, succinct, and answer the five Ws (who, what, when, where, and why) without specifically directing how to perform the tasks. The agency leadership need to state the task list clearly to ensure members of the team understand their responsibilities.

Introduction This informational interview was conducted with Dr. Pamela Aaltonen, a Homeland Security instructor at Purdue University, and active member at the Tippecanoe Board of Health. Her role here is to frame issues in the concept of Homeland security and emergency management. Dr. Aaltonen holds a key role in Homeland Security, as many disasters contain human health issues, such as mass causalities, pandemic outbreaks, and sanitary issues following natural disasters. Dr. Aaltonen’s flavor of Homeland Security differs from the work that I normally see, but as displayed during the interview, Homeland Security is a multi-disciplinary field that requires cooperation across all fields.

Quality of Communication and 9/11 Imagine hearing sudden honking when driving home from work. Three tons of metal races towards the side of the car as hands fly up in protection and screeching pierces the ear. After collision, dispatch is called, but the only sound that is heard are murmurs. This is how lots of the victims of 9/11 felt when they tried to call the police.

With effective communication, firefighters and first responders can carry out rescue operations thoroughly and effectively, as well as helping people search for escape routes and carry out evacuations. This research can apply to several emergency situations, minor or major, as well as any terrorism attack that becomes prevalent, an example being the attacks on the United States in September of 2001. Strong, effective communication overall helps save lives in any emergency situation, despite the severity or opposing

Post 9/11 resulted in an 800 MHz talk group system so that federal, state, fire, emergency management, and the military could communicate very quickly by just a turn of a dial or change of a

Proponents of the militarization of police argue that such tactics can provide important benefits in high-risk situations. One key advantage is the enhanced tactical capabilities that militarized police units possess, which can allow them to effectively address situations with significant potential risk to officers or the public. Examples include superior weaponry in comparison to any criminal element they face, personal armor and safety equipment, as well as enhanced vehicles to transport more officers or secure thoroughfares. Unfortunately, these situations have become more common in recent years, with a drastic rise in mass shootings and terrorist attacks (). These kinds of attacks are precisely why proponents of militarizing the police insist on its importance.

Incident command system refers to a comprehensive system that is developed to help responders to form an intricate system that meets the demands of a single or multiple incidents (Carmicheal, 2010). The goal is to avoid confusion and increase efficiency in handling all the activities within the shortest time possible. The current scenario is characterized by a severe natural disaster that has hit the community of Edenton. Extensive damages are being reported from the multiple points in the city, which means the responders should form a team that can handle each point.

Its main objective is to make certain safety in schools during evolving crisis as well as disasters. One of its strongest points that come out is that the roles and duties of all stakeholders are well articulated with greatly structured media communication plan. All stakeholders have enough information to respond to both foreseen and unforeseen disasters. Advisory in all crisis and disaster situation is very clear, processes of responses are also very well described. However, since the advent of the social media has given birth to the internet generation who are always on their phones rather than on books, this may be creating a gap between the content format and the intended audience (Timothy, 2014).

Communication in a crisis is vital. It is often the first aspect of teamwork to go because many team members have different ways of dealing with a crisis. It is important to slow down for a moment and communicate what you are doing so there aren’t any errors. Simply stating what you are doing allows the other teammates to plan for their next steps. Organization is also hard to keep when things change unexpectedly.

Consequently, people tend to misused communication technology to develop unethical behaviors. For instance,
