did my answer to the student makes since: Joanna Robles In the textbook it states, "In the United States, local emergency managers may hold the title "emergency manager," but it is more likely that they hold a different title, such as director of public safety, sheriff, fire chief, police chief, or city or county manager." (Page 65)After receiving this new information in regards to having an understanding of recognizing emergency management, I can say that I have had a positive experience with them. The goal of emergency management is to help alleviate the number of individuals that are negatively impacted by an emergency situation. Joanna Robles Great post, I agree with you that the primary goal of emergency management is to reduce the number of individuals that are negatively affected by an emergency situation. They do this through a comprehensive approach that includes planning, preparing, responding, and recovering from unexpected and potentially harmful events. Emergency management focuses on keeping people safe during crises. They do this by identifying risks and creating strategies to handle them. They train emergency responders and educate the public on crisis response. They put the plans into action to protect lives and property and restore normalcy and rebuild communities. By doing all this, emergency management aims to make communities stronger and better equipped to handle emergencies, minimizing their impact on everyone
