Just making sure all my Emergency Management friends (and foes) read the published Final Report from the President’s Council to Assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Click here to download

You can also watch the action from the Executive EEOB yesterday here.

Hope this provides some insight with the role of Emergency Management plays with any disasters or emergencies.
All levels of EMs should have a solid grasp of all these issues (and FYI–If your EM doesn’t know about this, then they prob are not a real EM).
Be informed about the disaster process and understand the laws that could affect all aspects of preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and protection.
