Overview – FEMA Whole Community
Several years ago FEMA began to emphasize the need for the entire community
impacted by a disaster to come together in response to a disaster. The three
overriding principles are: 1. Understand and meet the actual needs of the whole
community; 2. Engage and empower all parts of the community; 3. Strengthen
what works well in communities on a daily basis. This week we will review the
document as it applies to the planning aspect of emergency management.
Discussion will include personal, local, governmental, healthcare, family,
municipal and non-governmental aspects of community preparedness, response
and recovery.
Everyone in this class has already chosen a city for week 3 and may continue
with that city. You may also choose one from the list below if you’d prefer. There
is an Excel template for you to use for the Whole Community review. It includes
all the areas you should include.
International students – Choose from the list of
cities and email me your choice. >>> I chose Orlando FL . I have attached the readings and excel sheet you need to use for this writing. Please, make sure you use the correct references, and do not copy/past (it’s going to be checked for plagiarism).
