From Main Street to Mumbai, Managing Emerging Risk: The Capstone of
Preparedness considers the new global drivers behind threats and
hazards facing all those tasked with protecting the public and
private sector. The text delves into the global mindset of public
and private sector emergency managers and presents a new risk
landscape vastly different from the one existing ten years ago. The
book begins by presenting a series of fictitious scenarios each
resulting in mass destruction and fatalities. These are each
followed by actual news stories that support the scenarios and
demonstrate that the proposed events'seemingly unthinkable have the
potential to occur. Next, the author identifies two drivers in the
practice of emergency management and general preparedness today
that constitute our view of the future and the new face of risk.
The first is the Disaster Halo Effect the idea that modern threats
exhibit more than one event. The second is the worldview of our
nation as a Market State focused on the trading of goods, services,
and ideas among the nation-states. The book also reviews the
history of preparedness and discusses its relationship with
large-scale threats, establishing that hindsight bias has hurt our
ability to plan and respond to the unexpected. The chapters that
follow explore what is needed to better cultivate, design, develop,
and operate emerging management and preparedness thinking in the
current environment. Each chapter begins with key terms and
objectives and ends with thought-provoking questions. Introducing a
new paradigm of thought that takes into account the chief
influencers of global threats, the book arms emergency and business
operations managers with the ammo needed to successfully confront
emerging threats in the 21st century.
