Response and recovery are often matters of life and death. Preplanning is part of response and recovery. Your boss loved the work you did in the Discussion Thread: Understanding Mitigation and Preparedness. You have just been appointed the new emergency manager for your agency. Before you, no one did anything in this area. Your boss calls you back in and wants to know where to start and what to do regarding these functional areas. (He or she is concerned with the agency itself, not so much the community or customers you serve at this point.) Tell us what you would tell your boss and how you would go about this task. Be specific and detailed. Your boss is going to move forward based on what you tell him or her. This includes many things, such as response, recovery, and all of their sub-components, such as but not limited to redundancy, resiliency, continuity of operations planning, training, equipping, budgeting, etc. You only get one chance to get it right with your boss to start all of this off correctly. Be detailed. (For this post, you do not need to cover mitigation or preparedness functions again.) What does the Bible say about response and recovery?

a) After reading pages 81-196 of Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, why do you suppose that states devote such dramatically different amounts of their budgets to crime and justice efforts over and above differences in population or crime rates? Elaborate. b) In your opinion, should there be uniform national guidelines or recommendations that dictate how much money states should allocate for police, court, and corrections functions? Why or why not? It should be evident that you have reflected upon Mears’ book. c) Next, as you know, Mears discusses throughout this book how the politicization of crime has driven criminal justice policies to a greater extent than the crime rates warrant. Please provide at least one meaningful suggestion as to how politicization can be taken out of criminal justice policymaking and implementation. Your suggestion should be creative, yet also realistic. It should also be evident that you have an understanding of key aspects and terms from Mears’ book. d) Next, in his book, Mears points out that whenever a parent is incarcerated, he or she often returns back to society less able to provide emotional or financial support to his or her children. Given this magnitude of this problem, in your opinion, what can be done to help children of ex-convicts so that incarceration does not indirectly contribute to more crime. Again, be creative yet also realistic. e) Next, in your opinion, is it appropriate for ex-offenders to participate as stakeholders in the development of criminal justice policy. Take a position either way and support it. f) Next, after considering the Systems Improvement Solution policy process, in your opinion, what is one of its biggest weaknesses and how can this weakness be overcome? Be specific. g) Next, please point to one additional aspect of the assigned reading for Week Six that you found to be of interest. Please be sure to point out why this is germane to our understanding of criminal justice policy. Finally, please pose a critical thinking question to your peers. You must also attempt to answer at least one of the questions posed by a classmate. Keep in mind that students should post initial comments early in the week (latest by Wednesday), and post substantive follow-up comments by Saturday. All comments must be posted by Saturday, November 18th 11.59 PM CST. and no late work will be accepted. Good luck!

Mitigation involves many elements, including risk assessment and mitigation efforts, but prevention should come even before mitigation. Preparedness is another one of the four key emergency management functions. Preplanning is part of preparedness as well as response. You have just been appointed the new emergency manager for your agency. Before you, no one did anything in this area. Your boss calls you in and wants to know where to start and what to do regarding these functional areas. (He or she is concerned with the agency itself, not so much the community or customers you serve at this point.) Tell us what you would tell your boss and how would you go about this task. Be specific and detailed. Your boss is going to move forward based on what you tell him or her. This includes many things such as planning, resources, and budgeting. You only get one chance to get it right with your boss to start all of this off correctly. Be detailed. (For this post, you do not need to cover response and recovery functions.)
