As current, or future agents of change in regards to emergency response in your communities, you may be responsible to enact changes to policy and procedures within your jurisdiction on how first responders respond to major emergency incidents. Hopefully, you will analyze the response of emergency responders from past major disasters and improve on procedures to enhance future responses. Considering methods to improve emergency response, for this weeks assignment and after reading chapter 12, answer the four following questions:
In your view, what changes do you see coming in emergency management during the next 10-20 years?
What career opportunities do you envision for new emergency management graduates?
How much standardization of emergency management training and education would you like to see?
Within the intergovernmental system, do you support an increase in the autonomy of local and state emergency management programs?
Incorporate material from the entire textbook to support your answers for each question.
Make sure to respond to each question with a complete and thorough response. Your grade is based on the quality of your responses and make sure to include a works cited page for research.
