Emergency Response to Domestic Terrorism by Alethia Cook Pdf

Emergency Response to Domestic Terrorism analyzes the emergency response to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. Terrorism is a complex threat, and the American government is expected to deter or intervene in every attack. For that reason, the government must be better prepared to respond to acts of terror. One critical element is to understand what constitutes an "effective response." To answer this key question, the author examined the existing literature and interviewed thirty-one elite participants in the emergency response to the bombing. The result is a unique qualitative case study that analyzes the response efforts undertaken after the bombing to draw conclusions about their relative success or failure. Emergency Response to Domestic Terrorism looks at the nature and interrelationship of bureaucratic structures involved in the response, the organizational networking between the response bureaucracy, and the impact of bureaucratic culture on the response. The work contributes to the existing literatures in both emergency response and bureaucracy. First, theoretical arguments about bureaucracies and their function are put to the test as they are applied to a specific crisis situation. Second, interview materials with key individuals who were on the scene of this American terrorist disaster are provided. Third, the emergency response literature is examined to determine whether the Oklahoma City bombing exhibited the anticipated response challenges. In addition, the work provides insights into the extent to which response communities are familiar with federal response guidelines. The overall results of the study are applicable to emergency response to terrorist incidents and to natural disasters. By bringing together the academic and the practical aspects of emergency response, the work will appeal to students, practitioners, and policymakers. Further, it will foster better understanding of public policy and public administration in general.

Innovative Location Optimization for Rescue and Emergency Medical Services Adapting to a Dynamic Environment by Dirk Degel Pdf

Die effiziente und nachhaltige Ausgestaltung der rettungsdienstlichen Infrastruktur zur Sicherstellung einer hohen kommunalen Versorgungsqualität stellt eine komplexe Planungsaufgabe dar. Insbesondere Fragestellungen der Standortplanung für Rettungswachen und Rettungsmittel (z.B. RTWs) sind in einem dynamischen und durch Unsicherheit geprägten Umfeld für die rechtzeitige Versorgung in Notfallsituationen von entscheidender Bedeutung. In dieser Arbeit werden innovative Optimierungsmodelle vorgestellt, die einerseits optimale Standortentscheidung für Rettungsmittel auf einer taktischen Ebene unter Berücksichtigung dynamischer Umwelteinflüsse und unsicherer Nachfrage bestimmen. Andererseits wird die strategische Systemanpassung und Weiterentwicklung einer rettungsdienstlichen Infrastruktur unter Berücksichtigung unsicherer zukünftiger Entwicklungen bestimmt. Hierzu wird auf Methoden des Operations Research und insbesondere der robusten Optimierung zurückgegriffen. Die vorgestellten Modelle erlauben die Analyse komplexer Entscheidungssituationen sowie die Bestimmung optimaler Handlungsalternativen. Hierdurch wird eine effektive Entscheidungsunterstützung zur Planung der kommunalen Notfallversorgung gegeben.
