Operational Perspectives

Emergency management generally works well Sometimes a “one person shop”/collateral duty Major focus is obtaining grants ($$$)

Catastrophic events are different All agencies are maxed out Federal government will never be quick enough or have enough

resources

Procedures are important…results are more important Timing and speed are the most important factors Providing support to state and local governments is why

we’re here DoD is a last resort; yes…but All must understand DoD protocols with respect to the

Action Request Form (ARF)/Mission Assignment Processo Mission Assignment development, tasking, and employing

forces

“Coalition of the willing”; not command & control Disaster operations can be confusing

Don’t do it everyday High turnover Additional duty

Impact of the media is significant and vital
