Low-frequency, high-consequence events are rare, emergency responders still need to be able to evaluate these complex problems and determine initial actions. To avoid being overwhelmed and increasing the risks to both responders and civilians, emergency responders need to be able to quickly identify all potential hazards, then predict the outcome when a hazardous material or weapon of mass destructionĀ¬ (WMD) incident occurs. This article explains how a risk-based approach will better prepare responders for future situations.
Law enforcement agencies are tasked with protecting life and safety as well as the civil liberties of those within their jurisdictions. Crowds present even more complex and dynamic scenarios. However, this research on crowd psychology can help law enforcement officers navigate these complexities on an operational level. Being able to gauge crowd behavior would help officers make more informed planning and response decisions and reduce the risk of civil unrest.
Firefighters, emergency medical services, law enforcement officers, and emergency managers can
create force multipliers through the education and training of other community stakeholders. This May
edition of the Domestic Preparedness Journal provides valuable information for emergency response
organizations to consider when fortifying their efforts and engaging other community stakeholders.
When an injury causes a life-threatening bleed, minutes matter. There may not be enough time for first responders to arrive on the scene, so immediate responders are needed. Knowing how to respond to this type of injury and being able to stop the bleeding are skills that everyone should learn. This article explains why and how to do that.
In some ways, communities are well prepared for emergencies. However, it is critical to
continuously assess systems, structures, models, and procedures to identify even small weaknesses and
gaps that can become significant impediments to effectively responding to threats, hazards, and risks.
The authors in this March edition of the Domestic Preparedness Journal identify gaps and share possible
solutions for various critical infrastructure, public health, and physical safety vulnerabilities and
threats.
Active shooter and other violent incidents occur all over the country ā in urban and rural areas, in big cities and small towns, in large and small facilities. Many examples demonstrate the need to understand and plan for them and the significant consequences that could follow. This article empowers the reader to better understand how these incidents may occur and ways to better mitigate and respond when a healthcare and other facilities are threatened.
The Colonial Pipeline cyberattack in May 2021 exposed the urgent need to safeguard and upgrade the critical infrastructure systems in the United States. Congress acknowledged that the government lacks the […]
