Issues, Principles and Attitudes - Oh My!Examining Perceptions from Select Academics, PractitionersAnd Consultants on the Subject of Emergency Managem south-west-report-card-commonwealthmentCarol L. CwiakNorth Dakota State UniversityThis report seeks to open a dialogue and to shed light on where consensus exists in the field of emergency management as it relates to what the important issues and fundamental principles are. By examining the responses of thirty-six respondents across south-west-report-card-commonwealththree groups within emergency management - academics, practitioners and consultants, we gain insight into the field both as it applies to the views ofsouth-west-report-card-commonwealth
the specific groups and as it applies to consensus across groups. This report is the result of the time, energy and contributions of a committed grouIssues, Principles and Attitudes - Oh My!Examining Perceptions from Select Academics, PractitionersAnd Consultants on the Subject of Emergency Managem south-west-report-card-commonwealthment academics, practitioners, and consultants began where so many of these journeys begin, in a dialogue seeking insight. This particular journey began when Dr. B. Wayne Blanchard, the Project Manager of FEMA’s Emergency Management Higher Education Project, actively sought out answers to what he th south-west-report-card-commonwealthought was a simple query regarding the fundamental principles of emergency management. Blanchard was disappointed to leant that there was no clear agrsouth-west-report-card-commonwealth

This research effort as welIssues, Principles and Attitudes - Oh My!Examining Perceptions from Select Academics, PractitionersAnd Consultants on the Subject of Emergency Managem south-west-report-card-commonwealthront), are the byproduct of Blanchard’s commitment to address the foundational matter of emergency management principles.In this study, participants were asked to offer their thoughts on important issues and topics facing emergency management, their view of characteristics as they apply to “stereoty south-west-report-card-commonwealthpical” and “new generation” emergency management professionals, demographic information and what they believed were the fundamental principles of emersouth-west-report-card-commonwealth

The intent of including the raw narrative data (Appendix B) as an attachment is to s south-west-report-card-commonwealthtimulate and support a broader discussion across the emergency management community and to empower the dialogue of identity and purpose as it necessarsouth-west-report-card-commonwealth

There was an expectation on the researcher’s part that dramatic differences would be evident between the participant groups’ opinions, yet those dramatic differences did not surface in the data.

What can be stated with cersouth-west-report-card-commonwealth
tainty is that the most powerful data for consensus across the field and the beginning of a much deeper dialogue sits within the over 70 pages of narrIssues, Principles and Attitudes - Oh My!Examining Perceptions from Select Academics, PractitionersAnd Consultants on the Subject of Emergency Managem south-west-report-card-commonwealthames listed in the appendix. The participants are listed alphabetically without designation of group or participant number.
