How would you include the DoD in your Emergency Response Plan? Or would you?
Scenario: A federal building suddenly blows up in your city where you oversee the Emergency Response Plan. You are called by law enforcement officers who note that they have apprehended three military personnel with explosives in their possession. The two men and one woman are listed as AWOL; they have threatened that if they are not released, another operative will blow up more undisclosed buildings. The police have contacted the FBI and will detain the suspects. Meanwhile, two more buildings explode near a military outpost in which civilians and military personnel were killed.
Evaluate your resource and recommend appropriate courses of action relative to homeland security. What will be your first step? Why? Be specific and cite your sources.

The NRF contains guidelines for NGO and volunteer involvement in the aftermath of a disaster. An effective ERP should have language addressing their involvement locally.
Locate the appropriate NRF Annex for the American Red Cross. Choose two functions and relate them to an effective ERP. In other words, how and what would be the functions of the Red Cross according to an ideal Emergency Response Plan? Cite your sources by location, title, and page number.
NGOs and Ethical Decision-Making. Managers and responders must make moral and critical decisions in a crisis environment.
In your Background reading, locate the two sources concerning ethics, especially the five approaches to making ethical decisions. From the five, focus on one that you believe is primary and elaborate on your choice.
Find language regarding military involvement in the NRF. Especially note the command structure. Would the National Guard (if deemed necessary) be called out first? By whom? When would the Guard be called out—give examples. When would a military branch (e.g., the Army) be called out? Remember to cite your sources.
Locate other directives regarding the military’s possible involvement during a national emergency. Under what conditions would the armed services be involved? What would be some of their functions? Remember to cite your sources.
