Respond to two other student’s article summarizations with your opinion of their articles in 50 words for each summarization. Responses such as, “I agree” or “Good idea” are not acceptable and will receive no credit. The response must add to the scholarly dialogue presenting the reasons for your opinion and supporting documentation cited. 

The exchange of ideas between students regarding a colleague’s article is a key aspect of on-line learning. Since late postings do not add to dialogue between students, they will not be accepted as participation. Responses to fellow student’s articles and discussions are to be in depth.

This discussion for this module describes the four components and the five steps for Accreditation. There are four major components of the Emergency Management Accreditation Program. Program Coordinator, Program Committee, Program Administration, and Program Evaluation are the listed components. Each component has a specific task and necessary items that need to be accounted for or complete in order to establish the program as successful. The Program Coordinator is responsible for keeping the program current and updated with any additional data to maintain success. That is the position that would deal with the five steps for Accreditation with the EMAP. These five steps are for program to maintain their priorities. These could easily be described as governance, outreach and engagement, standards and policy development, and training and continue education for updated information. The five steps consist of Subscription, Self-Assessment and Application, On-Site Assessment, Committee Review and Commission Decision, and Accreditation and Maintenance. It is important in the accreditation that the program coordinator maintains proof of compliance for up to five years. This will help the process applying with the reaccreditation in the future for the agency or organization.

Chapter five addresses the importance of strategic planning, and describes this process as "systematically making decisions, organizing efforts to carry out those decisions, and measuring the results" (Canton 100). Strategic planning is a skill carried out and overseen by the head of projects, but is ultimately a group effort with many moving parts.  To be successful in strategic planning, the following must be considered; formulating a vision, establishing objectives and goals, and dividing the responsibilities. The Osceola County  Office of Emergency Management developed a strategic plan and published it to their community website. Their objective for creating this plan was to "create a disciplined, long-term approach to strengthen resilience." In their attached strategic plan, they summarize their goals under the umbrellas of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. The PDF of their plan is very technical and clear regarding their goals. This is a perfect example of a strategic plan.
