The first video I watched involves the office of Emergency
Management and what it takes to be an “Emergency Management Specialist”. It
shows how the office mitigates, prepares and responds to public emergency. It shows the EOC or Emergency Operations
Center of Fairfax, Va. It goes through and discusses how the EOC involves many
people with different specialties. While you might be in charge of one
division. You need the ability to switch and move into a different specialty.
The video goes on to discuss how EOC and Emergency Management plans and trains
daily. The training part I did not know much about by watching the video I was
able to discover the training involves everyone and a rigorous training
schedule. The also mention how they rely
on the public also. They train for the public but need the public to be
involved as much as possible. A liaison
or “Community Liaison” is key to emergency Management. This person recruits and
helps get the message of the EOC out to the public. I think this video is good for anyone
interested in become an Emergency Manager.

The second video I wanted involves
stating what an Emergency Manager actually does. They show how valuable an
Emergency Manager is. While small emergencies able to be managed by our local
public safety. The bigger emergencies need Emergency Managers. The video takes
a look on how Emergency mangers prove their value to elected officials and
other public officials. Emergency Managers need to be able to communicate and
work in the public. This is a good video because people need to be good in
communication and public speaking. A communication degree would be highly
valuable in the career. You need to be able to get a clear message to everyone
in an emergency. A communication degree would also get you the tools needed to
work collectively with a large number of people. I think this is a good video
as it discusses the key traits necessary to become an Emergency Manager.
