CERT Mission Statement

The Community Policing era has been one of the contemporary police activities in the last 30 years. It is more of a decentralized approach to reducing crime by involving the same officer in the same community on a long term basis, so residents will develop trust and then provide information and assistance to the officer. Community Policing does not replace motorized patrol or other police tactics but instead compliments them with community partnership and problem solving (Bailey, 2011).

FEMA was established after a number of serious natural disasters that took place, but after that there were very few disasters so FEMA has not been in practice. Secondly FEMA has a history of poor planning, people with skill sets not suited for emergency response, FEMA was therefore not considered to be a priority agency when Hurricane Katrina

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would become the central point-of-contact within the national government in responding to incidents. Since formation in 1979, FEMA’s core missions were to enhance the government’s ability to survive a foreign attack, and to assist state and local authorities in disaster response (Carafano, 2005). And while the two core missions seem heterogenous in scope at times from an outside perspective, the biggest difference between the two tasks is duration. A man-made disaster may be over in a matter of minutes as compared to a hurricane lasting several days, but in both instances the road to recovery is long. In order to streamline response and recovery in either scenario, FEMA was reorganized with new directives to support comprehensive emergency management practices (CRS, 2006). Today, FEMA provides the standard approach and guidance that many local communities may not have due to funding, training, and

This program is the Department of Homeland Security’s final priority to “plan, train, and equip police, fire, and paramedics to react successfully to terrorism; and promotes recovery with the assistance of disaster specialists.” (Homeland Security, 2015) One of the examples of disaster specialists that help assist in disasters like Hurricane Katrina is the Federal Emergency Management Agency also known as FEMA. FEMA helps communities with reducing their risk, helps its different agency officials prepare for all types of hazards, and also helps people in communities get back on their

FEMA stands for federal emergency management agency. It is one of the federal agency which is responsible for coordinating with the federal government in any kind of disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes etc. It was established on June19, 1978 under the 1978 Reorganization Plan No 3, later activated on April 1, 1979 by the President Jimmy Carter in his executive order 12127. “1-101. Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 (43 FR 41943), which establishes the Federal Emergency Management Agency, provides for the transfer of functions, and the transfer and abolition of agencies and offices, is hereby effective’’ (Executive Order No. 12,127, 1979). Hardly, after a month agency got bigger, when the President Carter signed another executive order transferring more powers to FEMA.

Disasters can strike people in any community in any time or without warning. Whatever the scenario, as the federal government emergency management and preparedness agency [FEMA] is part of the responders, their mission is to help communities nationwide to protect themselves from all hazards and to reduce the loss of life and property. FEMA supports the nations in a comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness

When a disaster strikes, part of FEMA’s duty is to make sure people are prepared with sufficient supplies in order to improve the situation. FEMA’s second failed attempt in response to the storm was with transporting citizens out of the city. Despite the early warnings for New Orleans citizens to evacuate some decided to stay since they themselves lacked the transportation to leave or some believed they could wait out the storm similar to what they had done in the past with other hurricanes. With the amount of citizens that stayed in the city, FEMA

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an office under the locale of the United States Department of Homeland Security. Made in 1978, the office's main role is to facilitate the reaction to any calamity that happens in the US and is excessively for the assets of neighborhood and state

The national agencies involved in pre and post-disaster management and planning are The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in connection with The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and The Ready Campaign. FEMA was first implemented during President Jimmy Carter's term in 1979. Their mission is dedicated to nationally support and protect citizens throughout the country during natural or manmade disasters (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2017). FEMA works closely together with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security along with local and state governments to provide extensive disaster relief efforts and necessary assistance during any crisis (Department Homeland Security, 2016). FEMA offers both pre and post-disaster

To this date, the erstwhile colonised peoples are still calling for reparations to be paid to them, citing moral obligations of the colonisers and/or settlers, and this call is mostly being made to the white governments in Canada and the United States and to the British government in India. Let us look at three recent cases of such demands and examine how the governments in question have consistently failed to provide “adequate reparations” (as understood by the victimised populations) to the peoples they have wronged. This failure of “adequate compensations” can be ascribed to a guilt that either stems from an inherent moral high ground of the people in power, or because, as Hannah Arendt insists, “[...] guilt is strictly personal.” In that case, what the current generation of white settlers and British population feels is not guilt but simply a tedious sense of obligation for the mistakes of their ancestors.

President Carter established Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with the Reorganization Plan Number 3 of 1978, giving it free range of functions, as well as emergency preparedness, civil defense, disaster relief, emergency communications, flood and crime insurance, fire prevention, and steadiness of government (Rubin, 2012). The agency was established in April 1, 1979, with four mechanisms such as the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration and the Federal Insurance Administration, the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency, and the U.S. Fire Administration (Rubin, 2012). FEMA mandates local governments to established effective floodplain management procedures, and USACE considers different tactics on several structural measures to minimized flood losses (Rubin,

Although many may find community policing and problem-oriented policing to fall in the same category, there is (surprisingly) a difference between the two. For one, community policing has many definitions. For some, it means instituting foot and bicycle patrols and doing acts pertaining to the ideal bond between police officers and their community. While for others it means maintaining order and cleaning up neighborhoods in desperate need of repair (Dunham & Alpert, 2005). However, an idyllic definition of community policing is altering the traditional definition of crime control to community problem-solving and promising to transform the way police do their job. Within the past two decades, there has been much research on community

FEMA focuses on that a vital target for the initially gathering of the report panel is to create a statement of purpose to help council parts comprehend what results they will look to attain. Doing in this way, they claim, will assemble a typical understanding of the alleviation plan 's motivation (FEMA, 2003). The University did simply this, expressing that the mission of their Hazard Mitigation Planning procedure was to "Guide the University in ensuring its kin, it, nature 's domain, gear and frameworks by distinguishing fitting activities and undertakings." The announcement kept on saying that the plan "will likewise help the University to plan business resumption plans so as to continue typical instruction and examination operations as fast as could be allowed after a catastrophe" (UW, 2004).

In 1979 the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was created to offer services the states had not substantially invested in and the consumer market had not offered (Moynihan, 2013). The idea was that on a national level it would be cheaper to establish one higher level agency to develop expertise on how to deal with disasters (Moynihan, 2013). Our national government has the ability to create and enforce common policies which would avoid the confusion of multiple state, local and national agencies coming together to respond in an emergency. To create a more effective response, local, state and federal agencies should follow policies that in general have the same guidelines and speak the same language; hopefully creating greater

Equal is something that has been fought for over many years. This generation has over came many challenging moments and situations that African Americans have been through, but today is concern is that the equal rights that our grandparents and ancestors fought for is still challenged today. Rasism and discrimination against people of color has always happened, from slavery, to segregation and now to the colored race still being killed for their rights. A few deaths have recently been showed through the media such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner and have been proven to have similarties to past cases such as Emmett Till; this is scary for our country because it was made seem as if we had overcame discrimination, but in relity its still here.
