Discussion Questions

Question 1

Hurricanes and Tornados have a significant impact on both Public Safety Radio systems (Police, Fire, EMS, etc.) and Cellular Communications. What can be done to ensure communications do not fail following a severe wind event? Remember to cite your sources and list your references.

Question 2

1. How would the NRF work in conjunction with the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF)?
2. It is said, the NRF “is always in effect, and elements can be implemented at any time.” What does that mean?
3. After reviewing the readings for this module, comment on whether the Incident Commander (IC) has a code of ethics and whether he or she needs one.
4. Would a concrete, enforceable code of ethics help analysts perform their jobs better?—and to know their limits?
