What is Emergency Management?
First Things First
Emergency Management
Why is Emergency Management Important?
Future prospects are sobering!
• Continued U.S. population growth
• Increased urbanization and concentration in hazard-prone coastal areas
• Accelerated deterioration of the urban infrastructure
• Emerging but unknown new vulnerabilities posed by technological advance
Outlook
Virtually a certainty that economic losses from natural hazards will
continue to rise throughout the early part of this century.
Emergency Management
Disasters are increasingly Common
Worldwide, a major disaster occurs almost daily.
“In the United States, a disaster has occurred, on average, every week for the past 10 years, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency”
(PricewaterhouseCoopers, Closing the Seams, 2007, p. 6)

All “Phases”
Emergency Management
MitigationMitigation is the
effort to reduce loss of life and property
by lessening the impact of disasters. Mitigation is taking
action before the next disaster to
reduce human and financial
consequences after (analyzing risk, reducing risk,
insuring against risk).
• Storm Shelters• Sprinkler Systems• Building Codes / Standards• Insurance
Examples
Emergency Management
PreparednessPreparedness is an effort to maintain a
state of disaster readiness through a continuous cycle of
planning, organizing, training, educating,
equipping, exercising, evaluating and taking
corrective action.
• Planning• Training• Exercises• Education
Examples
Emergency Management
Response
Response is the aggregate of decisions made and actions taken in the immediate and short-term aftermath of a disaster or emergency event. It focuses on meeting the urgent priorities of life safety, incident stabilization, and preservations of property and the environment as a whole.
• Search and Rescue• Emergency Medical• Firefighting• Perimeter Security
Examples
Emergency Management
Recovery (more than just “IT/Data Recovery”
Recovery is the process of returning an organization, society, or system to a state of normality after the occurrence of a disastrous event. It involves both short and long-term objectives and focuses on the reestablishment of critical community or organizational functions.
• Business Continuity• Alternate Facilities• Temporary Work Space• Insurance re-imbursement
Examples
