7.) For several decades, official reports or studies and congressional hearings have all agreed that a lack of interoperable public safety communications remains a chronic problem, hampering the effective coordination of emergency response in major incidents. Considering all the advances in IT/communications technology, why do you think this problem has thus far defied resolution? Is there anything currently in progress or on the horizon that seems promising as a solution? Provide three specific recommendations that you believe may help remedy this problem, and support your recommendations with examples or evidence.
8.) What is your overall assessment of Presidential Policy Directive #8, the National Preparedness Goal—Second Edition, and National Preparedness System? What are their best elements, and what, if anything, appears to be missing or weak? Do they complement, reinforce and supplement other key guidance documents you were introduced to in this course, such as the National Incident Management System (NIMS)-Third Edition, and 2016/2020 editions of the National Planning Frameworks, or are they in conflict or redundant? Considering that these documents were all developed and published by the White House or DHS/FEMA, how do they affect state/local emergency responders, and what are the proper roles and responsibilities of state/local emergency responders in this national system? Drawing from lessons learned from major disasters in the past decade such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, pandemic diseases, or wildfires, what do you think must be done to further enhance preparedness and response for major disasters here in the United States? Support your answer with specific evidence or examples from authoritative sources.
