A study of emergency management policy regarding the use of tornado sirens during severe weather in the state of Missouri

Forest is the part of customary system of the tribe society. However, the forest management done by them is not facilitated in the forestry policy. The centralistic forestry policy causes the overlapping conception of the tribe forest to the state forest. While it formal normative aspect causes the acces of the tribes to the forest closed and causes reduction of wisdom-based supervision conducted by them. In fact, the community wisdom-based supervision in the socio-culture potential needing a revitalization and development as the new basis of the change of natural resources management policy which is recently controlled by the goverment proved to be the cause of law and economy harassment to the tribes society of Indonesia. Now we need to change the perception about the forest natural recource management policy controlled only by the government of the forestry instances. It should be the policy based on the community and its development principles to realize the regulation of the forest natural resources consumption. Therefore, the area division is needed to overcome the problems.

Rising Incidence

The decision among human beings to change their places of residence has remained an age-long strategy of survival practiced for a very long time. However, the migratory activities associated with internal population displacement are often propelled by forced migration occasioned by natural or anthropogenic forces or a combination of both. The upsurge of internal population displacement in the Nigerian state is incontrovertible given the maniacal campaign of the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-east region. The dilemma of internally displaced persons and the imperative management have proven a formidable challenge to the Nigerian state. The aim of this paper therefore is to ethically investigate whether the ineffective control of the Boko Haram insurgency by the state is implicated in the rising incidence of internally displaced persons and evident vulnerabilities. The study adopted qualitative research which relied heavily on the documentary method of data collection and, guided by the ‘Marxist theory of the post-colonial state’ as a theoretical underpinning. The findings of this paper showed that the ineffective control of Boko Haram insurgency by the state was implicated in the rising incidence of internal population displacement in the North-east. The paper critically observed that the state and its agencies like the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs), National Commission for Refugees, Migration and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE), Presidential Committee on the North-East Initiative (PCNI), among others have become the main instruments for the advancement of the interests of the dominant class. The study however recommends amongst other things that the state should ethically rethink its narrow strategy against Boko Haram insurgency through the adoption of a broader approach according to the dictates of Nigeria’s Countering Violent Extremism framework.

The Impact

For many emergency managers (EMs) and National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters, Convective Outlooks issued by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) influence the preparation for near-term severe weather events. However, research into how and when EMs utilize that information, and how it influences their emergency operations plan, is limited. Therefore, to better understand how SPC Convective Outlooks are used for severe weather planning, a survey was conducted of NWS core partners in the emergency management sector. The results show EMs prefer to wait until an Enhanced Risk for severe thunderstorms is issued to prepare for severe weather. In addition, the Day 2 Convective Outlook serves as the threshold for higher, value-based decision making. The survey was also used to analyze how the issuance of different risk levels in SPC Convective Outlooks impact emergency management preparedness compared to preparations conducted when a Convective Watch is issued.

The U.S

The working relationships between Native American tribes, the states, and the federal government have been strained for centuries. These intergovernmental interactions have led to a fragmented system whose attempt to deliver public service is consistently met with opposition. One area where this has become increasingly evident is within homeland security and emergency management policy. This study used a cross sectional survey to gather information about the beliefs tribes held about the various aspects of their working relationships with states and the federal government within the context of homeland security and emergency management. Analysis of the data revealed that the majority of the intergovernmental relationships that existed between tribes and the U.S. government did not possess the characteristics of an effective working relationship. Evidence also suggests that the intergovernmental relationships were actually having a negative impact on the U.S. government's goal to achieve a unified system of homeland security and emergency management on American soil.

Secondary Sources

As instituições dos estados do Nordeste que assumiram a gestão florestal foram diagnosticadas pelo Ministério do Meio Ambiente em 2009. Decorrente deste estudo regional, o presente trabalho tem como objetivos: i) Caracterizar os instrumentos de política e de gestão florestal no estado do Maranhão; ii) Analisar o atual modelo de gestão florestal estadual. Os dados foram obtidos de fontes secundárias na rede mundial de computadores e através da aplicação de questionários em dois Seminários realizados no próprio estado. Os instrumentos de política e gestão florestal foram classificados segundo suas características legais, econômicas e administrativas afetas ao tema. O modelo de gestão florestal foi analisado com base no modelo de excelência em gestão pública, adaptado para o estudo. As principais conclusões foram: há conflitos legais de competências da gestão florestal no estado, entre a SEMA e a SEAGRO; a SEMA é responsável pela política e pela gestão florestal maranhense; uma Superintendência de Gestão Florestal, ainda não institucionalizada, estava, na prática operando a gestão florestal; planejamento, execução e controle da gestão florestal foram avaliados, de modo geral, em situação insatisfatória, tanto pelo público interno da SEMA quanto pelos seus usuários.Palavras-chave: Modelo de gestão florestal; descentralização; Nordeste do Brasil. AbstractForest management in the State of Maranhão, beyond decentralization.
