(4) Confronting Research Issues in Emergency Management Higher Education
Description: There is a desperate need for high-quality basic and applied research on myriad Emergency Management topics. As the number of graduate students and faculty associated with Emergency Management programs in higher education continues to grow, the potential to address research needs grows, too.
Yet, if the Emergency Management higher education community is to produce high-quality research, then it has to confront some critical issues. For instance:


  • What kinds of research questions should we be asking?

  • What literature should ground our research?

  • How do we overcome access and participation issues?

  • How do we contend with politicization of the practice of Emergency Management and its impact on research?

  • To what research standards should we adhere?

  • How do we find funding to support our research efforts?

  • To what ethical guidelines should we adhere? Are there unique ethical issues in Emergency Management research?

This session will feature three brief presentations addressing these questions. The remaining time will be devoted to discussion.

(6) International Homeland Security: Lessons Learned
Description: This breakout session will focus on examining select Homeland Security policies and strategies in a number of democratic countries with a view towards better understanding how those countries execute Homeland Security missions and the potential lessons for the United States. As foreign countries have experience in dealing with various Homeland Security challenges and as they are also a source of some of America’s Homeland Security threats, it behooves Americans to understand what works and does not work in other countries as well as what respective countries’ capabilities are, as these issues will be key to developing strong American Homeland Security strategies and policies.

(7) Use of WebEOC to Create an Authentic Learning Environment/Advanced Disaster Management Simulation (ADMS) for Higher Education – Better Preparing Emergency Managers
Moderator: Jean Bail, Ed.D., RN, MSN, MEP, CEN, EMT-P

Philadelphia University

Philadelphia, PA
Topic: Use of WebEOC to Create an Authentic Learning Environment
Description: Authentic learning environments encourage “learning by doing” and provide students with experiential learning opportunities. Visualization and simulation technology that is used in the field, such as WebEOC, offers students authentic learning opportunities that provide a “real-world” connection to course material including problem-solving and decision-making under pressure.

3:00–5:00 2nd Round of Tuesday, June 5th Afternoon Breakout Sessions (Continued)
This session assesses student data regarding the use of WebEOC and disaster exercises to create an authentic learning environment in the classroom. Students enrolled in distance and residential Emergency Management courses who participated in disaster exercises using WebEOC were asked to complete a survey and write a reflection paper on their experiences. Herrington and Oliver’s (2000) framework for the design of authentic learning environments is used to assess the data.

Topic: Advanced Disaster Management Simulation (ADMS) for Higher Education – Better Preparing Emergency Managers
Description: Today’s students excel in a high-technology learning environment. Integrating a realistic hands-on Virtual Reality experience in the classroom reinforces learned theory by providing practical experience. The Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS) is successfully being used by institutes of higher education to enhance the learning experience, and ultimately better prepare students for their roles in emergency management post-graduation.
This session focuses on how ADMS is being used on-campus and the resultant benefits to colleges both inside and outside the classroom. Butler County Community College will share its ideas for innovative program development, institutional differentiation, and revenue-generating industry outreach programs since integrating a simulation component to its course offerings. A demonstration of the ADMS system will be provided, focusing on system features specific to a learning environment.

(2) Exploring Collaboration in Disaster Planning and Response Between Emergency Managers, Health Care Professionals, and People with Functional Needs: A Follow-Up

Description: As Americans watched the incidents in Japan with a major earthquake followed by a tsunami and then a nuclear disaster, it is important to assess emergency planning effectiveness. Emergency managers in counties across the United States plan for every American citizen in case of natural disasters. Theories of Public Administration can illuminate the implementation of these plans. This study tests the level of cooperation, coordination, and collaboration between local administrators and affected individuals and groups. It is hypothesized that as commitment increases, collaboration will increase among emergency managers, health care providers, and people with disabilities. This study involves interviews with 38 emergency managers who answered a series of questions about their level of contact, cooperation, coordination, and/or collaboration with people with disabilities, and health care professionals.

(5) Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 – Evolving Guidelines for Legal Advice/Using Case Studies in Emergency Management Education

Moderator: Carter Smith, J.D., Ph.D.

Department of Public Management & Criminal Justice

Austin Peay State University

Clarksville, TN



Topic: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 – Evolving Guidelines for Legal Advice
Description: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 (November 2010) contains FEMA’s guidance on planning and developing Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs). While the document focuses on the planning process and resultant documents, it does so in a much broader way than previous approaches.
FEMA’s planning guidance has legal implications. Statements of “best practices” often begin as aspirations posed by different kinds of organizations. Depending on the type of group and its ability to affect those it seeks to influence, such documents often are used by courts as legal standards for the performance of those to whom they are directed.
This presentation examines the recent history of references to legal matters in FEMA’s planning guidance and compares CPG 101’s approach to the subject. The discussion traces the evolving nature of references to the need for legal advice and/or citation of relevant law. The presentation considers potential implications of these issues. The talk will consider planning challenges arising from these legal matters, as well as their effect on potential litigation for emergency managers and their jurisdictions.
Presenter: William Nicholson, Esq.

Topic: Using Case Studies in Emergency Management Education

Description: A panel discussion on the use of case studies in Emergency Management research. The discussion will focus on gaps in current case study research and the needs for future case study research in Emergency Management.

Moderator: Jeffrey Rush, D.P.A.

Assistant Professor

Austin Peay State University

Clarksville, TN


Topic: Cooperative Activities as Building Blocks: Toward an Integrated, Interdependent System of Emergency Management
Description: Drawn from field interviews, this paper presents a model of an integrated, interdependent system of emergency management, which re-conceptualizes the established life cycle model of disaster response. Using social network analysis, the author demonstrates how patterns of interaction and communication between agencies during one type of activity lead to interaction in other areas. This paper models cooperative activities as the building blocks for larger, interconnected systems of emergency management.

10:30–11:30 Wednesday, June 6th – Morning Breakout Sessions (Continued)
Topic: The Many Pathways of Emergency Management
Description: The field of Emergency Management is growing rapidly. It stretches in many different directions such as public administration, environmental sciences, social sciences, engineering, public health, and many others. Often administrators and students believe that Emergency Management is just the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This presentation can be utilized as a guide to help everyone, including students, administrators, and enrollment services, understand the diversity of Emergency Management. The presentation sheds light on the many different pathways that lead to and from the core of Emergency Management. It puts Emergency Management in a perspective that can help with career direction, educational advancement, course work collaboration, and program development.

(7) Foresight and Higher Education: Achieving Community Resiliency Through Educating Future Leaders

Description: The Strategic Foresight Initiative (SFI) is a collective exploration of issues, trends, and other factors that could impact the future Emergency Management environment, with the goal of strengthening our ability to understand and plan effectively for the future as a diverse Emergency Management community. Through a range of research activities, workshops, and alternative futures analysis, FEMA, together with partners from across the Emergency Management community, developed critical insights into emerging challenges, opportunities, and needs facing the field of Emergency Management. The session will explore the work of the SFI and present its findings to date. Further, the session will engage the audience in a facilitated discussion around the role of academic institutions in advancing foresight, strategic planning, and long-term thinking across the Emergency Management community. Possible applications include guiding graduate student research, curriculum and course development, and institutional consideration for higher education programs.
