January 26th Chat

January 26th we will have a chat at 2000 hours (8:00 p.m. Eastern Time) entitled "Practical Applications of the FEMA Individual Assistance and Public Assistance Programs".

William M. (Bill) Cover, has been the Director of the Cass County Nebraska, Emergency Management Agency for the last twenty years retiring at the end of 2011. In this capacity he has coordinated the county’s response to 11 Federal disaster declarations including the 1993 Midwest floods and tornadoes, the 2010 winter storms and the Missouri River Flood of 2011. He holds a Masters in Security Management from Bellevue University and has earned the coveted designations of Certified in Emergency Management, (CEM) from the International Association of Emergency Managers and Certified in Homeland Security (CHS-V) from the American Board for Certification in Homeland Security. He has also held National Registry Certification as an EMT Basic (REMTB) since 1976 and has been an instructor in emergency medical services since 1982.

Bill says "I will be discussing the FEMA Public and Individual Assistance programs for the Great Missouri River Flood of 2011 from the perspective of a single rural/suburban county. I will give an overview of the incident tying in the FEMA response as it occurred along the incident timeline. I hope this will be of interest to your students who have not had the fun of working a FEMA declared disaster and to those students who have but have not worked an incident where the response phase lasted almost four months."

Center for Homeland Defense and Security

Greetings from the Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS),

Approximately six weeks remain to submit an entry for the 2012 CHDS Essay Competition. Entries for the competition are being accepted through January 31, 2012.

This year's competition asks writers to: Identify a theory or insight from a field outside homeland security that has not been applied to homeland security but should be.

The winning entry and four top finalist essays will be considered for publication by Homeland Security Affairs, the online academic journal published by the CHDS.

This competition strives to stimulate original thought on issues in homeland security and homeland defense. Responses may be general or focus on a specific aspect (organizational, policy, strategy, practice, technological innovation, social impact, etc.) or discipline/field, (emergency management, public health, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, intelligence, etc.). Essays may be written from any perspective - e.g. government, private sector, cultural, local community or citizen.

Previous winning entries have addressed the power of social media in homeland security, the possibility of linking emergency response and public health with the poison control system and promoting the use of rhetorical tools to help frame the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's mission. Last year's winning entry, authored by Yee San Su of CNA Safety and Security in Alexandria, Va., was titled "On the Challenge of Assessing National Preparedness."

The competition is open to everyone with an interest in homeland defense and security. Current CHDS faculty, staff, students and graduates are not eligible. Winners will be announced no later than May 31, 2012. The winning entry receives a $1,000 cash prize.

For information and instructions, visit www.chds.us/?essay/overview. If you have any questions please contact Heather Issvoran, Director, Strategic Communications, Center for Homeland Defense and Security at hissvora@nps.edu or by cell at 831-402-4672.
