Some Emerging Issues in Emergency Management. Volume 1, Number 3

Abstract

This monograph examines several emerging policy issues in emergency management and their relationship to present and future national policy. Examined are: (1) the influence of personal biases and experiences on the derivation of individual assumptions which serve to structure our perceptions concerning how emergency management issues should or should not be prioritized; (2) six national trends that could have some future impact on emergency management policy; (3) the stake holders in emergency management (e.g. constituents) who collectively surface important, yet different, candidate policy issues which must be considered during the policy formulation process; and, (4) a 'temporal' framework for use in identifying, analyzing and prioritizing common policy issues related to emergency management that cut across a broad spectrum of disaster agents.
