Academic Director, Department of Emergency Management Adelphi University Garden City, NY Topic: A Crisis/Disaster Behavioral Health Decision-Making Tool: The Rapid Situational Assessment of Functioning and Triage Map Description: The color-coded model presented has situational fluidity to the point it effectively gives both lay and professional crisis/disaster responders an easy-to-use graphic only (neutralizes language barriers) cognitive-construct which helps mitigate confusion and allows for a rapid determination of the level of intervention needs of survivors.

Department of Social Work Fayetteville State University and eSocialWorker LLC Fayetteville, NC Reporter: David Gale, dtg08@yahoo.com Arizona State University 3:00–5:00 2nd Round of Wednesday, June 6th Afternoon Breakout Sessions (Continued) (6) Best Practices in Designing, Developing, and Implementing an Integrated Homeland Security and Emergency Management Program Description: Since 9/11, the field of Emergency Management has been significantly impacted by the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the development of Homeland Security policies and programs. One thing is certain: both EM and HS are robust, dynamic, and complex disciplines. In turn, both are intellectually grounded in risk management theory, and both are inextricably linked together in practice. Given that the two fields are interdependent and focus on securing the safety and security of the United States from a broad range of threats, this panel will discuss best practices in designing, developing, and implementing new programs in higher education that integrate critical concepts in the fields of both Emergency Management and Homeland Security.

Description: Environmental Security (ES) represents a critical and emergent construct that should be incorporated into integrated Homeland Security/Emergency Management (HS/EM) training, planning, and policy. While this exists in theory, it does not adequately in practice at all levels of government. In turn, this begins with better integration of ES in both HS and EM academic curricula. This presentation will provide details as to what the ES construct consists of in a post-9/11 world, and how it may be integrated in either HS or EM or HS/EM programs.
