Point of VIewBy W. Craig FugateThe Public as a Resourcear too often, organizations considerthe public a liability — something tobe rescued in an emergency situation. The opposite is true. The public is oneof our greatest resources in times of crisisand should be included as an important partof your resilience planning and training.The reality of emergency management isthis: The bigger the disaster, the less likely thegovernment can provide the best response.For smaller disasters, there are multipleorganizations that can respond, from the RedCross to the Salvation Army to our own NationalGuard. For larger disasters, there is so muchdemand for assistance that we invariably fallshort. We cannot get to people fast enough. Inthose situations, the tendency is to tell the publicto be passive and wait. That is not the best solution and increases the number of lives lost.In the case of almost any disaster, thefastest response will be from your neighbor.There are countless examples of this:them. The government does not know wholives where and who has air conditioning;neighbors do, and can be proactive.FAn award-winningpublicationMAGGIE AWARDS2015 / BESTOVERALLPUBLICATIONEmergency ManagementMagazine In tornadoes, people who are dug out fromunder debris within the first hour are rescuedby neighbors. After the Joplin, Mo., tornadoin 2011, I walked through neighborhoods withPresident Obama. We came upon a gentlemanwhose house had only the front half remaining.The president asked him what he did oncethe storm passed. He said, “I heard peoplehollering, so I started digging them out.”ASBPE AWARDS2016 / MAGAZINEOF THE YEAREmergency ManagementMagazineW. Craig Fugate is senior advisor to the CEO at The CadmusGroup Inc. Fugate served as theadministrator of FEMA from May2008 to January 2017. Prior tohis tenure at FEMA, he served asFlorida’s emergency managementdirector from 2001 through 2009.In 2016, Fugate received theNational Emergency ManagementAssociation Lacy E. Suiter Awardfor lifetime achievements and contributions in the field of emergencymanagement.6Changing the message In shooting situations, high mortalityrates come from victims bleeding todeath. In the Aurora, Colo., shooting,one of the victims was saved by a friendapplying pressure to the wound. During heat waves, countless people aresaved because their neighbors check onHistorically, we have marginalized the public.We’ve called them victims. Yes, there will alwaysbe victims of disaster. But the ones who make itthrough should not be called victims. We needto change our message. Instead, we should becalling them survivors. We should be includingthe public — the survivors — as part of the team.Just as important, we should broaden ourdefinition of “the public.” The business community is part of the public and can provide criticalonsite assistance at a capacity that the governmentcannot. For example, historically, the amount offood and water the government ships in does notmeet the demand. Private businesses, however— grocery stores, fast food restaurants, etc. — arefar more effective at providing amenities forentire cities’ worth of people. They can often getup and running faster than the government.We don’t want to compete with the privatesector; we want to work with the privatesector as a team. As we prepare for emergency events, we should include the publicand specifically private businesses with a planthat includes asking them: “What can we doto help you get up and running again?”We should put a higher priority ongetting the private sector operational aftera disaster. If these businesses get up andrunning, it takes tremendous stress off thegovernment and government resources.In a nutshell, we must include giving the peopleback a sense of control in our preparedness planning. We need to give people the OK to help oneanother, and give businesses the OK — and theresources — to get back on track so they can helpthose people who cannot help themselves. kSUMMER 2017EM07 06.indd 66/20/17 3:29 PMDesigner CreativeDir.100 Blue Ravine RoadFolsom, CA 95630916-932-1300www.erepublic.com5255075BLACKCMY grey95 1005T125T25075Editorial PrepressT395 100YELLOW525507595 1005255075MAGENTACYAN95 100Page #Other OK to go

SHUTTERSTOCK.COMBulletinprofessor of HomelandSecurity at Eastern KentuckyUniversity and a former majorwith the Kentucky State Police.He said it’s true in terrorismand in law enforcement thatpeople may be hesitant to tell oneach other for cultural or otherreasons, such as a fear of retaliation or just general mistrust.There are things that canbe done to protect againstnew threats like vehicles.Sullivan said constructingbarriers, such as giant plantersor trees that can protectpedestrians is a strategy.One key is identifying whatthe threats are and taking theenvironment into consideration,he said. “What are you tryingto protect against, a personwith a gun or maybe someonerunning amok with a vehicle?”Another point that needs tobe discussed is the personalresponsibility of having situational awareness. Sullivan‘Mental Rehearsal’Could Save Your LifeThe usual suspects, like thedifficulty that law enforcementagencies still have in sharingcritical homeland security dataand the mistrust of some communities, along with the ease withwhich terror groups can recruit,continues to make stopping “lowtech” terror a difficult proposition.A new wave of terror, a morelow-tech version such as guns,knives and vehicles, has becomethe common threat and sodifficult to prevent. There isoften no network of affiliates and the perpetrator isoften acting alone, havingbeen radicalized locally,perhaps via the Internet.Collection of intelligence isthe best way to try to preventthis type of attack, which isthe most likely in the UnitedStates, but it is still fraughtwith difficulties, accordingto Bill Sullivan, assistantsaid hesitation or lack of awareness, such as being glued to aphone, can get people killed.People should be aware oftheir surroundings, what thepossible dangers could beand do a “mental rehearsal”of a plan in case of the worstcase scenario like being in amovie theater and confrontingan active shooter situation.“If I’m in a theater and ashooter comes in, where aremy primary and secondaryexits? If getting out of thereis not an effective solution, what am I going to do?Am I willing to fight, can Iseek cover somewhere?“Having that situationalawareness and that mentalplan of what my actionsare going to be is going todecrease or eliminate thehesitation, and the hesitationis quite often what ends upgetting you killed.” — JIM MCKAYWyoming Prepsfor Solar EclipseCrowdsEmergency response agencies inLaramie County, Wyo., are preparing for aninflux of visitors who want to experiencea total solar eclipse this August in centralWyoming.The rare chance to view a total solareclipse from the U.S. is expected to drawthousands to hundreds of thousands ofpeople to the state.The path of this year’s eclipse will cut awide arc across much of the U.S., movingwest to east from coast to coast.
