Content
The disaster and emergency management sectors, globally, are witnessing the same dramatic shifts affecting organizations in an increasingly globalized and resource scarce world. Quantum advances in information and communication technology have been re-structuring the organization as we know it, flattening the traditional hierarchical pyramid, and extending the concept of partnerships to loosely organic entities. Emergency managers today, more than ever before, are expected to effectively operate in and respond to constantly changing environments. To play an effective role in their organization successful emergency managers need to be skilled people-persons, keen observers of global trends, strategic decision-makers, problem solvers, and above all leaders to their team. To ensure that their decisions are relevant and appropriate, they also need to keep abreast of the trends and changes in the theory and practice of disaster management.
