Discussion 1: The Stafford Act and Presidential Declaration Process
Emergency recovery means to engage in efforts to return disaster-impacted areas back to functioning and, to the greatest appreciable extent, conditions that existed before the emergency occurred in the first place. There are a number of entities involved in emergency recovery including nonprofit organizations, private insurance companies, and myriad state and local governments. One of the most common criticisms of emergency recovery is that local agencies lose control of recovery to the hands of the federal government, or that the federal recovery infrastructure doesnt do enough to help local governments.
It is important to remember that even in the post-9/11 era, the federal government usually does not step in to oversee or coordinate disaster recovery efforts unless the local and state governments ask for such help. It is the Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process that govern how and when federal recovery programs intervene.
For this Discussion, consider the utility of the Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process related to local disaster response. You also consider whether federal emergency recovery programs are over-
used by the states and adequately provide for recovery from catastrophic events.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a brief explanation of the utility of the Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process related to local disaster response. Explain whether you think either or both are useful in the scheme of responding to local disasters. Defend your position. Then explain whether federal emergency recovery programs in general are over-used by the states and whether you think they are adequate in providing for recovery from catastrophic events and justify your position.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
