Building Cultures of Preparedness With Tribes

2020-12-31T08:39:16+00:00

Building Cultures of Preparedness With Tribes – An Overview In 1999, Governor Gary Locke and Attorney General Christine Gregoire joined tribal chairs from throughout the state in signing an “Agreement to Institutionalize the Government-to-Government Relationship in Preparation for the New Millennium.” This agreement, between the State of Washington and the Tribal Nations, was an affirmation of the 1989 Centennial Accord.

“There is Too Much: Let Me Sum Up” – December 2020

2021-01-05T19:47:31+00:00

“There is Too Much: Let Me Sum Up” - Emergency Management Once Removed 2020 By Jim Mullen Emergency Management, Once Removed January: “Government’s Trust Deficit: A Possible Antidote” proposed that emergency managers “devise exercises in which the public can participate, to “penetrate the divisive “white noise” that makes essential government messaging difficult to transmit in normal times and potentially impossible during emergencies…” Hmm-mm! February: “It’s Dusk in America” foresaw a dark (short-term) future. Though things seemed “normal” on the surface, I felt unease that darkness might soon fall (little did I know!). My optimistic assertion that the NCAA’s “March Madness” [...]

2021-01-05T22:09:51+00:00

Diversity in Emergency Management: How it needs to become the New Normal By Kellie Hale When it comes to incorporating diversity in any career field, there is always that one person who says, “Just do a good job people. It doesn’t matter if you are boy, girl, man, woman, white, black or purple.” Well, as far as I know, there are no purple people. Diversity should not be viewed as a “feel good” word and it means more than how someone looks. What does the term diversity actually mean?
