Managing crisis events requires leaders to have sound decision-making abilities, accountability, and the skills to handle blame. In this reflection paper, you will address these key concepts and offer a solution for a crisis event at the local level.
Using the information, you have learned in the Homeland Security and Emergency Management program, write a paper that addresses the topic of decision-making, accountability, and blame management.
Specifically your paper should include the following:
1.Select a local crisis incident that illustrates these three key concepts and summarize the scenario. The incident may be from your hometown or nearby local jurisdiction.
2.Discuss in detail how this local level crisis incident illustrates the concepts of decision-making, accountability, and blame management. Use the course material to support your analysis.
3.Conclude with a discussion as to how the local crisis may have been handled better in terms of the decisions that were made, who was held accountable and the management of the blame. What are the larger lessons learned from this local event for the homeland security and emergency management professional?
