Emergency Management Chapter One
Question and answers correctly solved
2025
Civil Defense - correct answer ✔It is important to note how local and state
governments chose to administer this flood risk program. Civil defense
departments usually had the responsibility to deal with risks and disaster.
Department of Homeland Security - correct answer ✔In March 2002,
President Bush signed Homeland Security Presidential Directive-3(HSPD-3),
which stated the following: the nation requires a homeland security advisory
system to provide a comprehensive and effective means to disseminate
information regarding the risk of terrorist acts to federal, state, and local
authorities and to the American people. Such a system would provide
warnings in the form of a set of graduated "threat conditions" that would
increase as the risk of the threat increases. At each threat condition, federal
departments and agencies would implement a corresponding set of
"protective measures" to further reduce vulnerability or increase response
capability during a period of heighten alert.
This system is intended to create a common vocabulary, context, and
structure for an ongoing national discussion about the nature of the threats
that confront the homeland and the appropriate measures that should be
taken in response. It seeks to inform and facilitate decisions appropriate to
different levels of government and to private citizens at home and at work.
Emergency Management - correct answer ✔Is "a discipline that deals with
risk and risk avoidance".
Federal Emergency Management Agency - correct answer ✔The Federal
Emergency Management Agency was officially established by executive order
12127 of March 31, 1979(44 FR 19367, 3 CFR, Comp., p. 376). A second
executive order, 12148, mandated the reassignment of agencies, of
, programs, and personnel into the new entity, FEMA. In addition, President
Carter had problems finding a director for this new organization. No large
constituent group was identified with emergency management, and at the time
the administration was facing major problems with congress and the public
because of the Iranian hostage crisis. John Macy, task was to unify an
organization that was not only physically separated-parts of the agency were
located in five different buildings around Washington-but also philosophically
separate. Programs focused on nuclear war preparations were combined with
programs focused on new consciousness of the environment and floodplain
management. Macy focused his efforts by emphasizing the similarities
between natural hazards preparedness and civil defense by developing a new
concept called the integrated Emergency Management System (EMS). This
system was an all-hazards approach that included direction, control, and
warning as functions common to all emergencies from small, isolated events
to the ultimate emergency of nuclear attack.
National Disaster Recovery Framework: - correct answer ✔Sandy was the
first large-scale disaster to completely apply the new National Disaster
Recovery Framework (NDRF) and has resulted in a host of issues that will
need to be addressed. While the NDRF is built on a solid groundwork of
agency cooperation, there is nothing that requires agencies to comply or even
cooperate with, and the coordination of assets has not been forthcoming. This
could be a result of the economic situation agencies are facing because of the
congressionally mandated sequester of an across-the- board 5 percent
reduction on federal funds
What are some of the first examples of emergency management? - correct
answer ✔Some examples of emergency management are; the bible speaks
of many disasters that befell civilizations. In fact, the account of Moses parting
the Red Sea could be interpreted as the first attempt at flood control. As long
as there have been disasters, individuals and communities have tried to find
ways to fix them, but organized attempts at disaster recovery did not occur
until much later in modern history. The terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001, led to massive organizational changes and programmatic shifts in
emergency management.
