Reporter: Stephanie Gibbs, gibbssg@upmc.edu Walden University 1:00–2:30 1st Round of Wednesday, June 6th Afternoon Breakout Sessions (1) Dangerous Disconnect: The Public and Private Sectors Don’t Understand Their Partnership in Emergency Response Readiness Description: The public sector believes that private sector employers are well prepared, have an emergency team, and are ready to aid the public emergency response agencies to respond to their facility to save the day. The private sector believes the public sector will arrive in less than 4 minutes, will take command of the facility for all forms of emergency response at their facility, and has all the latest equipment and plenty of manpower. Wrong on both counts! The public and private sectors live with myths about each other’s readiness. This presentation will explore the facts of readiness in both the public and private sectors, bust the myths each has of the other, and offer recommendations to fix the problem.

The increased incidence of true crisis situations, the explosion of the use of social media worldwide, and the efforts to focus on strategic issues and an expanded concept of Emergency Management together challenge community colleges, colleges, and universities to create public value by transforming their role and involvement in Crisis and Emergency Management. Participants are invited to discuss the uses and potential contributions of the primary tools of higher education: teaching/training, research, and technical assistance.

Capella University (7) Poster Session Moderator: Nicola Davis Bivens, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Criminology Johnson C. Smith University Charlotte, NC Topic: Comparison of Two Sets of Learning Objectives for an Introductory Course to Homeland Security and Emergency Management Description: Two sets of learning objectives will be contrasted. One set of learning objectives will be taken from the introduction to Foundations of Homeland Security, Law and Policy (Alperen, 2011). The other set of learning objectives will be taken from courses being offered as a part of Auburn University’s Center of Governmental Services’ Certificate Program in Emergency Management (Gordon, 2012). Each set of learning objectives reflects somewhat differing underlying assumptions, values, and definitions of the fields of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The nature of the differences will be noted and the implications of these differences for the content of an introductory course will be discussed.

This session will tell them. There should be plenty of discussion about the successes and failures of online education, courses, and materials, as well as the identification of tools that make online learning more successful for both student and professor, and marketing and positioning strategies and anything else you, as a distance learning practitioner, can think of. This is an institutional discussion of the how, why, what, and what not’s of putting together a successful program for online learning. The time allotted allows for considerable audience interaction with the presenters during this session.

The session will not feature any presentations; instead, the purpose of this forum is to allow individuals associated with Emergency Management graduate programs to hear about what other programs are doing, ask questions of one another, and exchange ideas. Topics for discussion could include assessment of the current status of graduate study in Emergency Management; the structure of programs (e.g., credits required, research requirements, internship/practicum requirements, comprehensive exams, etc.); the types of courses being offered and modules within the courses; the materials utilized in the classroom (e.g., journals, textbooks, etc.); and some of the student, faculty, and institutional issues with which programs are contending.

Millersville University (3) Student Research Projects Moderator: Carter Smith, J.D., Ph.D. Department of Public Management & Criminal Justice Austin Peay State University Clarksville, TN Topic: Operation Lone Star: An MPH Student Overview Description: In 2011, South Texas Environmental Education and Research (STEER) participants were invited to participate in the Texas Health Services event Operation Lone Star (OLS). It is an event that offers free medical services to the residents of South Texas (Laredo and Rio Bravo, Texas).

Description: The purpose of this presentation is to explain how the State of New York’s two Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD CSTs), the 2nd and the 24th WMD CST, have enhanced their overall effectiveness compared to their original concept to help ensure relevancy in supporting the State’s civil authorities in response to a WMD event. The presentation starts with a brief history and subsequent fielding/capability of all 55 CSTs. Presenter: Les Welsh Graduate Student Adelphi University Garden City, NY Topic: Best Practices for Interacting with the Public about Wildland Fire: Key Findings from Interviews Description: Interviews were conducted in the fall of 2011 with public information and line officers about wildland fire communications with the public. The goal of these interviews was to determine the best practices and most useful content and format for an annotated bibliography about external wildland fire communications. It was found that the most effective tool is face-to-face, personal communication with the public, and it is important to keep that personal touch with growing technology such as social media. Presenter: Dan Berkman Recent Graduate, Master of Environmental Management Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies New Haven, CT 3:00–5:00 2nd Round of Wednesday, June 6th Afternoon Breakout Sessions (Continued) Topic: The Role of the County Emergency Manager in Disaster Recovery Description: The aftermath of a disaster finds localities with responsibility for myriad tasks and activities to complete that are, or should be, associated with disaster recovery. Under the Comprehensive Emergency Management (CEM) approach, it would follow that the Emergency Manager should play a significant role in effecting disaster recovery within a community. However, while abundant literature exists that examines the Emergency Management role in preparedness and recovery, little empirical data has been collected related to the Emergency Manager’s role in disaster recovery. This research seeks to address this gap by asking the question: What is the role of the county Emergency Manager in disaster recovery? Presenter: Sarah Bundy Ph.D. Student North Dakota State University Fargo, ND Topic: Economic Indicators for the Perfect Storm: International Political Economy and Full Implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action: 2005–2015 Description: This study seeks to determine which economic factors explain why some States have implemented Hyogo Framework for Action: 2005–2015 (HFA) priorities and why other States have not. The policy implications of this study enable policy makers to better understand the relationship between implementation of the HFA and the international political economy, as well as to identify which States are prepared to respond to disasters according to their implementation of the HFA.
