The All-Hazards Emergency Management Model

Emergency management in the United States is built on the all-hazards model. This is the idea that hazards, whether natural or caused by humans, should be treated with the same response and planning approach. Several federal laws require the use of the all-hazards model as a guide to emergency management activities. According to this model there are generic processes for addressing most kinds of emergencies and disasters. Thus emergency managers can conduct emergency management activities in a more flexible and cost-effective manner than using a stand-alone, emergency, or disaster-specific program.

The all-hazards model has the added benefit of providing emergency managers with the opportunity to learn from their experiences. The all-hazards model prompts emergency managers to draw from multiple experiences so the potential for knowledge and best practice sharing is great.

For this Discussion, review the “Talladega EMA All Hazards” video located in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one of the disasters described in the Learning Resources or the current literature. Think about the all-hazards model and any adverse or unintended consequences the model might have on communities.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the disaster you selected. Then explain how using the all-hazards model might have mitigated some of the outcomes of the disaster.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
