Chapters #2 and # 3 from John M. Brown

Have
each of you considered how previous disasters or critical incidents
have formulated some of the current thinking on how emergency responses
are made. What are the community and department pressures in arriving
at these response methods? Do they consider all available community
concerns or resources? Can you suggest other philosophies of response?

Brown
(Chap 2, p. 53) provides several methods when the public and
private sectors respond to and attempt to manage a critical
incident. For example, a shooting in the workplace will need
the input of both the private sector (location of the event)
and public sector (responding police units) to understand how
the situation may be controlled and resolved. The unified command
system has recently been formulated by local police and fire
agencies/departments through agreements on who is in charge
of what critical incidents. Now we "throw in" input
from the private sectors. Who will really be in charge or responsible
for the incident? However, the incident handlers need to understand
what community resources (public and private) are available
to resolve the situation.

My
classmate Bates raises the question of who is in charge
of the incident, the public or private sector. Brown defines
the unified command system and why it was implemented as
a standard way for the police and fire to respond to and
manage critical incidents such as violence in the work place.
The public sectors must be in charge. However they should
not overlook the valuable resources of the private sector.
They know their facility the best. This does not contradict
Brown's position in Chapter 2.

But doesn't it seem like we're all saying the same things in an
occasionally different order?
