1. What is the involvement of politics in emergency management response? Does the EOC need to take politics into consideration?
2. When disaster strikes our nation the citizens are the ones that suffer. politicians and laws control the funds so the political process has to take place so funding will be approved. Emergency managers are trained to manage the disaster recovery and since this is key to recovery should politicians have some authority over the management of the efforts?
3. Do you support a national standard for all areas of emergency management? If not, why not? How often should standards be evaluated? Periodically or annually?
