This book was released on 1993 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Sunday, August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew hit just south of Miami Florida. For three hours, 140-160 mile per hour winds assaulted the South Miami/Homestead area. Andrew left a path of death and destruction. The hardest hit area was a 600 square mile portion of South Dade County. The Metropolitan Dade (Metro Dade) County Fire Rescue provided fire and EMS services for that area. Metro Dade's Chief David Paulison recognized the need for stress support for his personnel and asked Critical Incident Stress Debriefers of Florida (CISD of Florida) to provide Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). This descriptive research project had two purposes: first, could CISM function within Metro Dade's Incident Command System? Second, was CISM effective in providing stress support services during the disaster response?

Download or read book Disaster Response and Homeland Security written by James F. Miskel and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricane Katrina is the latest in a series of major disasters that were not well managed, but it is not likely to be the last. Category 4 and category 5 hurricanes will, according to most predictions, become both more frequent and more intense in the future due to global warming and/or natural weather cycles. In addition, it is often said that another terrorist attack on the United States is inevitable; that it is a question of when, not whether. Add to that the scare over a possible avian flu pandemic. As a result, the United States should expect that disaster response—to natural and other types of disasters—will continue to be of vital concern to the American public and the policymakers and officials who deal with disaster response and relief, including the military. The U.S. disaster relief program reflects a basic division of responsibility between federal, state, and local governments that has generally stood the test of time. At the federal level, a single agency, FEMA—now under the Department of Homeland Security—has been charged with the responsibility for coordinating the activities of the various federal agencies that have a role in disaster relief. A successful disaster response requires three things: timely and effective coordination between state and federal governments; effective coordination among the federal agencies; and effective coordination between and among state and local government agencies. Miskel examines the effects that operational failures after Hurricanes Agnes, Hugo, Andrew, and Katrina have had on the organizational design and operating principles of the disaster response system program. He also discusses the impact of 9/11 and the evolving role of the military, and he identifies reforms that should be implemented to improve the nation's ability to respond in the future.
