Book excerpt: An increase in the number of disasters often forces local emergency managers to expend all local resources and thus military resources are required to assist with disaster response and recovery. The purpose of this study is to explore local North Carolina emergency manager perspectives of Defense Support to Civil Authority (DSCA), the name of the military mission. Disaster management and civil-military relations theories provide a theoretical framework for this study. A modified instrument designed by Milliman, Grosskopf, and Paez (2006) guide collection of data. This qualitative case study answers the study questions: How do county emergency managers integrate DSCA to prepare for disasters? What factors do emergency managers consider when integrating DSCA into response and recovery activities? The researcher identified six themes from the collected data to answer research. The themes, identified in rank order based on replication, were: (a) specialty capabilities; (b) education and training; (c) coordination; (d) integration, (e) planning, and (f) National Guard as the force of choice. Additionally, four sub-themes emerged. They were: (a) hazard identification, (b) response orientation, (c) manager experience, and (d) reciprocation. The results of this study provide detailed and rich data for local emergency managers, and offers possibilities for state emergency management and national agencies, including United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to improve education and training to facilitate DSCA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other nations around the world, where the national military has a central role in providing assistance to civilian communities in time of emergency of disaster, the active component of the United States military prefers a role of capable supporter in time of great domestic need. The Department of Defense (DOD) is a supporting agency to 14 of the Emergency Support Functions in the National Response Framework (NRF, January 2008), and a primary agency for the 15th ESF. The military performs these missions, Defense Support of Civil Authorities, utilizing its military assets and personnel as best it can, but is generally prohibited by DOD policy from purchasing non-military equipment. The U.S. military has been called to support duty many times over the years to assist people in time of great need. The military has the organization, the training and discipline, usable assets, and in some cases critical supplies that can be quickly and efficiently brought to bear on a disorganized environment that disasters frequently create. The process of requesting and properly integrating military support into a civilian environment, in times of disaster and emergency, however, has at times been fraught with misunderstanding, awkwardness, and error. State National Guard support is common in most states, but DOD showing up in support is a much rarer occurrence. Many emergency managers desiring military support do not have an adequate understanding of the correct requesting processes, or an adequate understanding of proper response integration or employment techniques, as different from National Guard support. The research revealed a set of competencies, and a body of knowledge that should be incorporated into training classes or publications that the DOD could generate for working emergency managers, including first responders, and for students of emergency management. The qualitative research methods included case study (archive document review), interview, and survey.

Book excerpt: This research explored the role of the dual-status commander (DSC) construct during imminent and no-notice disasters through the lens of state-level civilian emergency managers through one primary and three subquestions. The main research question was: What are state-level civilian emergency managers? views about the role of the DSC during imminent and no-notice disasters? The DSC construct is designed to improve the unity of effort among federal and National Guard military forces when they are operating within a state during domestic disasters. The DSC has only recently been employed during imminent and no-notice disasters in support of civil authorities. Little research is available regarding the views civilian emergency managers have of DSCs when they are used in these types of disasters. Addressing this gap adds value to the emergency management profession because civilian emergency managers who have not had a complex disaster in their state may lack familiarity with the DSC construct. Through a qualitative method, a purposefully selected sample of state-level civilian emergency managers were surveyed and interviewed. The data informed the research questions, and results provide emergency management and military professions greater understanding of expectations emergency managers have of DSCs. Emergency managers should know in advance how to work with DSCs assigned to support them because DSCs are supposed to improve delivery of military resources in support of relief priorities and objectives. The results from the study are also intended to improve emergency management doctrine and emergency managers? Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) education programs.

Book excerpt: This guide highlights the findings of the National Governors' Association (NGA) Emergency Preparedness Project study, recommends an approach to comprehensive state emergency management, and offers pertinent management advice and tools based on hard-won experience in a variety of states. Case histories based on actual experience, as told by governors, their aides, and state emergency office directors, appear as insets throughout the text. These case histories both illustrate and augment the surrounding text. The outcomes of cases describing comprehensive emergency management are hypothetical, as this practice is not yet implemented in most states. Intended for governors and their staff aides, this guide is concerned with emergency management. It is one of a series of five companion publications of the NGA Center for Policy Research.

Book excerpt: U.S. policymakers have stepped up systematic disaster preparedness efforts sharply since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, including the creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and a plethora of federal initiatives. Against a backdrop of natural disasters that occur each year in the United States and heightened concern about pandemic influenza, there is an emerging national consensus that the best path is an all-hazards approach to disaster preparedness planning and that effective local planning is critical. Military installations and their civilian counterparts-local government and local health-care providers, especially the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs-can strengthen local-level disaster preparedness planning. This is an interim report for the first phase of a larger study aiming to develop a planning support tool for local military and civilian planners. It describes current policies and programs-especially those with nationwide application-for domestic emergency preparedness, risk analysis, and capabilities-based planning. It also describes results from interviews with local military and civilian planners at five selected sites to help understand how local preparedness planning currently operates and identify the needs of local planners. Collectively, these form the basis for a proposed tool, for which the framework is described in this report. The next phase of the study will include development and field testing of a proof-of-concept prototype of the tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2013-14 Army War College Key Strategic Issues List stated: "If Hurricane Sandy is seen as an archetype of a complex catastrophe, then a careful analysis of the effectiveness of the DoD response within the context of dual status commanders [DSCs], lead federal agencies, and state response capabilities needs to be conducted." This monograph does exactly that as it carefully and comprehensively analyzes the DSC-led military response to Hurricane Sandy in New York. Through this lens, it illustrates and discusses the perspectives of the DSC construct and offers recommendations for leveraging existing capabilities and improving those deemed insufficient. Using a case study approach, this analysis addresses notable issues of constitutionality, legality, policy, financial considerations, and even politics, all uniquely situated between individual states' interests and those of the federal government. To provide military and defense officials with a greater understanding of the benefits and limitations of the DSC arrangement during a no-notice/limited-notice incident, this monograph offers objective and systematic documentation of the Sandy response. It concludes by offering a series of actionable recommendations aimed at improving operational decisionmaking, policy, and legislation specifically related to DSCs during no-notice/limited-notice incidents. AUDIENCE: Military soldiers, including National Guard personnel, Active and Reserve soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines that were called upon to provide civil support operations under the tactical command of dual status commanders during the unplanned Hurricane Sandy response in New York. This work provides extensive analysis with recommendations for an effective operational and strategy specific plus policy-specific response relating to the lessons learned through these military forces and coordination of their service response to the New York area for Hurricane Sandy's landfall. Municipal and State officials that coordinate operations during emergency situations may also benefit from these military coordination recommendations, analysis and lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy. Emergency Management and military science students, especially ROTC-enrolled military students may be interested in this resource for coordination at local level.

This book was released on 2015-04-04 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unity of effort is an essential concept in emergency management to provide a rapid and coordinated response. The command relationships between active and National Guard forces conducting operations in domestic disaster response become an issue when both types of forces are operating in the same area and responding to different authorities. How authorities establish command relationships and form new organizations between these forces contributes to unity of effort during Defense Support to Civil Authorities operations. This study examines three command relationship models, applies an understanding of the organizations and structures of emergency management and the integration of state and federal military forces into emergency response operations within California. This thesis finds that the integration and a unified command and control of these forces are essential in providing the incident commander with unity of effort and the Dual-Hat command relationship provides the most effective model to ensuring unity of effort in emergency response operations between active and National Guard forces within California. This model provides the Unity of Command necessary to effectively coordinate and direct military operations, while providing the JTF commander the flexibility to use the appropriate capabilities and assets of both the active and National Guard.
