"The rise of civil unrest in 2020 is propelling the restructuring of culture, business, and cities in our society today. As Americans watch and experience a pandemic unfold and a sharp divide across political and economic lines, the mismanagement of public safety - including domestic terrorism - has been apparent to citizens, eager for the storms to calm. How will we respond? The new uprise of movements calls for new and innovative ways to manage them. Rise of the Emergency Manager is a fresh look at how emergency management has evolved immensely, along with the role of the emergency manager today. Award-winning Brian Rand shares a long-awaited avant-garde guide to emergency management inspired by his 20 years of public service. "

The role of the Emergency Manager in today's public and private emergency services is misused and clouded. Perhaps the most flexible and adaptable role within the emergency services' canon, the Emergency Manager is a master problem-solver, a vital link between all emergency agencies, and the key to a community, city, or private business's successful response and recovery during times of crisis.

In this book, I define the theory of 'Proxyism', and discuss techniques that enable new, or veteran emergency managers to hone their skills to combat it. Many American states, counties, cities and towns are battling the rapid growth and destructive capabilities of Proxyism, at an alarming rate. No one is exempt, and the Emergency Manager is the key to successful training, preparation, mitigation, response, recovery and innovation against this new-age terroristic threat.
Rise of the Emergency Manager is a call to action for all community leaders, private sector CEO's, and elected or appointed government officials to understand and prioritize the vital role of the Emergency Manager appropriately. These master strategists are an essential force-multiplier, capable of enhancing emergency planning and response models to new state-of-the-art standards. It is time for the Emergency Manager to rise from deep within the vast emergency services arsenal, and lead the way forward

In the world of public safety, a rapidly changing environment creates a need for executive coaching. Leaders within our profession are constantly facing new challenges and the learning curve is very steep. With a massive number of retirements occurring, the leadership gap and the institutional knowledge leaving our organizations present very real and very large challenges.

You may have younger, less experienced, but extremely talented leaders in your agency, who need to be ready sooner than later for their next step. The timeline is much shorter than it has been historically and to stay on the cutting edge, department leaders must provide high-quality leadership coaching for their “up and comers.”

We are taking a look at re-framing of the Incident Management Structures. It has been over 50 years since FIRESCOPE “created” the Incident Command System and the Incident Management Structures. Is it time to re-frame how emergency management and response operates?

Timothy Riecker writes “After examining these models, I think most will agree that in incident management we really do use the Team of Teams model, but not to the fullest extent. Why is that? I think it’s primarily because we graphically depict our organizations using the Command model and so much of our mindset is fixated on that structure and a perceived rigidity of the positions and flow within that structure. Sure, the Command model is cleaner and less intimidating, but it psychologically predisposes us to silos. In ICS, for example, we do have people coordinating across sections, but aside from the ‘scripted’ activities (i.e. those within the Planning Process), it seems to not come easily. “

It’s a common phrase, that laughter is the best medicine, and first responders and emergency managers are well known for making it integral to our workspace.
In the right context, laughter does provide evidence-based health benefits.
Long-term physical and mental health gains for people working in high-stress jobs are critical. With a focus on its more immediate, short-term benefits, it comes as no surprise that we are heavily reliant on humor within the disaster response environment.

Why Emergency Managers Need to Embrace Project Management. The improvement of incident management activities requires a coordinated effort by all involved agencies with a range of expertise. It behooves all professional disciplines to bring their respective expertise to improve the relevant capabilities. Project management expertise can be employed in multiple ways. It can be used to plan and manage the coordinated effort for improving the overall incident management. It can also be used to improve the execution of activities within each phase. While all of these applications are important, the most critical area demanding immediate attention is the planning and management of the actual response following the occurrence of an incident. The need is to focus first on the large-scale incidents that have the potential to affect a huge number of people, typically classified as major disasters.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2009 Samoa tsunami, the 2010 Chile tsunami, the 2011 Tohoku, Japan tsunami: In less than 10 years, these four events focused the world's attention on the infrequent but very real threat of tsunamis. Major tsunamis do not happen often, but when they do, they can have a significant impact on life and property. Even small tsunamis, which are more common, can cause loss of life, injuries and considerable damage.

Mark Benthien and Rick Wilson join the EM Weekly team to discuss why emergency managers from all over the world need to share the message of Tsunami safety.
