  10. Collaborative Emergency Management Algebra E + E + A = C

  11. Collaborative Emergency Management Algebra E + E + A = C Emergencies + E + A = Catastrophes

  12. Emergency Management Algebra Emergencies + E + A = Catastrophes

  13. COLLABORATIVE . . . E + E + A = C Emergencies + Egos + Agendas = Catastrophes

  14. COMPREHENSIVE • "All Stakeholders" -- Effective emergency management requires close working relationships among all levels of government, the private sector, and the general public

  15. INTEGRATED . . . . • Emergency Managers ensure unity of effort among all levels of government and all elements of a community

  16. FLEXIBLE . . . • Flexibility demonstrated?: • “We’ve always done it this way” • “Damn students take a course and think they know better than me how to do things” • Social Media • Risk Communications

  17. Lessons Observed - Communication What communication, with who and how? • Each other: • Integrated ops and daily briefing with all responding parties • Elected Officials • Impacted Residents – Minimum 2 per day initially + + + • Rest of Community • TOPOFF Exercise

  18. Lessons Observed After Action Reports, reviews Exercises – Exercise to fail not to make your team or council feel good - If everything went well, it was likely a poorly designed exercise

  19. Lessons Observed Ray Nagin – Mayor – New Orleans Attawapiskat – Talk about political!!
