The Distributed Functions of Emergency Management and Homeland
Security outlines the roles and responsibilities of various
individuals and agencies involved in homeland security and all
aspects of emergency management. Each chapter focuses on the
practical and applied aspects of a range of public servants in
various departments and the organizations that they represent.
Rather than presenting a theoretical exploration alone, the book
examines the practical knowledge and hands-on skills related to
various functions and how their decisions and actions play into the
larger framework of safety and security —in the public, private
and nonprofit sectors. Every professional has a unique and integral
part to play in fulfilling their roles and obligations, whether it
be in relation to prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response or
recovery operations. Personnel that frequently come to mind in such
scenarios include emergency managers, geographers and land-use
planners, EMTs and paramedics, fire fighters, police officers,
public health officials, nurses, public administrators, and public
information officers. And while these individuals are integral to
homeland security and emergency management, there are other
professionals that also perform essential duties that—while they
aren’t first-to-mind—are vital to efforts relating to terrorism
and disasters; this includes pilots in the aviation sector, the
military, attorneys, psychologists, and forensic professionals
serving in pathology, DNA, and dentistry roles. Chapters provide a
holistic rendering of the homeland security and emergency
management landscape to present all these various professional
capabilities and contributions. This includes how current functions
are coordinated as well as how future efforts might change relative
to a more proactive, all-hazards and holistic approach. As such,
the book will be a useful resource for students and practitioners
to understand the dynamic professions—and various disciplines and
fields—that impact disaster and terrorism preparedness and
response capabilities.
