Emergency Management's Role in Civil Defense with Michael Prasad

The profession of emergency management has been in flux since its inception.
Currently the Trump Administration is looking how to organize the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) to fit with the President’s political and policy agendas.
Everything is perhaps up for grabs. In this podcast we look at one proposal to have the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) take over all aspects of what we might call
“civil defense” to have those functions taken out of FEMA and aligned more directly
within other elements of DHS.

Michael Prasad is the executive director of the Center for Emergency Management
Intelligence Research (www.cemir.org). CEMIR (www.cemir.org) has its own Substack,
which can be subscribe to at https://thecemir.substack.com/ He leads research
projects and writes professionally on emergency management policies and
procedures, from a pracademic perspective. Prasad holds a Bachelor of Business
Administration degree in management information systems from Ohio University, and a
Master of Arts degree in emergency and disaster management from American Public
University.
