Module 4 - SLP
DISASTER RESPONSE AND RECOVERY
For the SLPs in this course, your assignments will be based on a unique scenario, which has directly impacted Homeland Security. As a future Homeland Security practitioner, you must develop the skill to empower the NGO community to help themselves through a "community organization plan."
Community organizations can effectively assist with emergency response and recovery. This includes NGOs and local organizations. A community organization must possess the necessary resources, have developed key stakeholder relationships, and be driven by its values and sense of responsibility.
The State of Florida is just one example. Their sports team is well-positioned to assist with non-causality crisis response. This creates a feeling of community identity; has a vast array of resources; and is empowered by additional stakeholder relationships. The Florida Panthers assisted with Hurricane Irma relief efforts because of their organizational values and commitment to their stakeholders, at a time when the community most needed their assistance.

Scenario:
As an intelligence analyst with the Department of Homeland Security, you have been directed to develop a background paper examining the potential for shared community organization successes and lessons learned that could be deployed to other states in a short amount of time.
- Describe the Florida Panthers' systems and all essential capabilities that contributed to the successful, effective crisis response.
- What recommendation or advice would your report give in implementing a similar recovery strategy in your own state?
- What do you see as your greatest challenge implementing this plan? What strategies will you use to overcome these challenges?
