Impact Of 9/11 On Emergency Management
It has been 16 years since the 9/11terrorist attacks, the original place built a museum. The new World Trade Center has now been rebuilt. “
Before 9/11, emergency management focused on natural disaster mitigation and recovery. So training was based on experience and mentorship. However, the 9/11incident fundamentally changed the culture of emergency management. The paradigm shift now requires a unified response, which in turn required an academic approach to disaster management.
September 11th was the catalyst for redefining the whole process of thinking in the industry. At First, The U.S. Department of Homeland Security was created after 9/11. In response to a serious attack on American, emergency management began to develop the degree of
higher education, certifications, standards and associations that championed collaboration among different disciplines. Since 9/11, there are a lot more emergency managers than before. This profession created more job opportunities.
The traditional breeding sources for emergency managers – the military, fire and law enforcement professionals – are no longer the only resource for these new features. Since 9/11, more than 150 colleges have begun to provide emergency management and homeland security degrees. A decade before September 11th there was only one B.A. program for emergency management.
The development of disaster research has increased exponentially, emergency management is becoming more specialized, expanding its horizons, and getting more education and training in areas that have not been previously considered.
September 11 launched a cultural change response to various disaster plans. The consequent impact has increased the position of emergency management professionals that need to be carefully studied.
There is also a unified national first responders training in emergency management that is a presidential instruction that comes from lessons learned. The first responders are now trained in the same manual. according to the Liberty County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Coordinator Tom Branch’s speech about how emergency response changed after 9/11, the unified national first responder training seems so simple, but it works,” Branch said. It wasn’t that way before. It’s a flexible framework but it gives everybody the same starting point.”
Overall, the attitude of emergency service coordinators toward disasters has shifted since 9/11 to one of proactive preparedness, rather than recovery,
