This book examines the role of the private sector in emergency
management and how that role is changing through private sector
intersections with government, government agencies, and the public
sectors in all phases of emergency management. It particularly
focuses on the areas in which government regulations and guidelines
promote or encourage private sector involvement, and looks at best
practices for public-private partnerships as well as some of the
common pitfalls of the contracting model. The private sector now
plays a tremendous role in the creation of policies related to
emergency management and their implementation at the federal,
state, and local levels. The Private Sector's Role in Disasters:
Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management explores some
of the challenges of implementing policies in the current
contracting model. It also compares emergency management to other
government services that have been privatized. Case studies of
recent disasters and examples of the privatization of some
emergency management functions are presented to illustrate how to
better plan for private sector involvement in future disasters.
Given the sometimes dysfunctional relationships that have emerged
from public-private partnerships in disaster situations, it is
important to analyze and improve principles and practices to work
toward more effective partnership. This book provides thoughtful
guidelines, recommendations, and best-practice approaches to
public-private development, implementation, and collaboration
throughout the disaster cycle. It gives focused directions for
cultivating public-private working relationships to make emergency
responses quicker and assistance more effective.
