Emergency Management and Disaster Planning Office of Emergency Management (OEM), City of Annapolis

Host: Mr. David Mandell, Deputy Director OEM, Esq. USNA POC: Instr. A.R. Davies

Overview: This internship will involve a limited scope research project in support of the City of Annapolis OEM. The specific project will be tailored to the candidate and the evolving needs of the OEM. Project examples may include:

- Developing coastal nuisance flooding preparedness and response plan.

- Analyzing weather and oceanographic data from a city-wide “smart grid” to build emergency management tools.

The participant will also become immersed in daily operations within OEM. This includes becoming familiar with disaster planning, response, and management.

Benefits/Impact: The participant will gain experience in conducting applied and interdisciplinary research. The participant will also learn about the logistical challenges of emergency planning and management as they related to environmental hazards.
