Reference no: EM132704689

List and describe fully your selected county's central strategy or plan. These are often emergency operations plans with various subordinate annexes and appendices, but because plan designs can vary widely by community, research and report your county's version.

Note that your county will probably have other plans as well, such as a school evacuation plan or a pandemic influenza response plan. You are free to mention and describe these as well.

List and fully describe 7-10 of your selected county's core stakeholders that it includes (or should include) in its most central plan.

Core stakeholders include entities that you would reasonably expect any or all counties to coordinate with.

In selecting and describing these, provide depth in explaining the following:

Rationale as to why the relationship between EM/HS and the organization or individual does or should exist

How specifically coordination and collaboration benefits the EM/HS and each of the external core partners

At least three ways that these core relationships will provide the most comprehensive and integrated preparedness and incident response and promote information sharing specifically

List and fully describe five of your selected county's unique stakeholders that it includes (or should include) in its most central plan.

Unique stakeholders include entities that you would reasonably expect this specific county to coordinate with. (An example is the prison's officials in the scenario described earlier.)

In selecting and describing these, provide depth in explaining the following:

Rationale as to why the relationship between EM/HS and the stakeholder organization or individual does or should exist

How specifically coordination and collaboration benefits the EM/HS and each of the external unique partners

At least three ways that these unique relationships will provide the most comprehensive and integrated preparedness and incident response and promote information sharing specifically

List and describe fully at least three methods for conducting coordination sessions for partners to attend.

Include tactics on how to elicit robust participation.

Describe measures that the EM/HS team might use to encourage vibrant and productive discussions.

Describe what baseline information the county should provide to prospective partners to elicit optimal contributions. (An example might be defining what vulnerabilities are, demonstrating a risk analysis, or brainstorming as to what threats and hazards exist in the county, and how they should be prioritized.)

List and describe at least two tactics that the EM/HS team does or might employ to gain viable cooperation from potentially recalcitrant partners.

Mention any last lessons you've learned while working on this assignment, or advice that you would give the county's team to aid in their writing or improving their core plan
