This week Mitigation Journal is coming from Jekyll Island, Ga. What an experience this vacation has been! Tropical Storm Fay moved through the area and gave us a first-hand look a emergency management. My commentary this week is about blind acceptance of standards. What do you do when a "standard" makes no sense for your organization? Do you force it to work because it is a standard? I recommend each agency, traditional and non-traditional response agencies, do a self assessment and evaluate the standard to see if it is applicable. Standards can be terrific tools, but when they don't make sense for your agency, your situation, or needs you can risk your reputation by forcing the standard. Fire Safety for Adults: This week Fire Safety Educator Sue Davis joins us on Mitigation Journal. We'll talk about adult fire safety, Exit Drills in the Home, car seats, and bike helmets and more. This is the back to school time of year and our kids will be talking about fire safety in schools...parents have to do our part, too. A special thanks to Sue for making the time to pre-record this segment with me! Planning Series part #3 - The basic concepts of planning.

We're going to insert a special interview this week in place of part #3 of our planning series. I had a rare opportunity to speak with my esteemed colleague, Mr Alan Bubel, on the topic of NIMS and NIMS compliance. NIMS and NIMS compliance is an important part of any planing process, so I thought it would work well here. We will continue with our planning series with topic #3 PrePlanning and an intro to planning concepts next week Comments[0] |
