Description
Is emergency management education undoing an age-old tradition in the American Fire Service? Has the time arrived to educate emergency
managers in college classrooms rather than in twenty years of tactical operations experience? Over one hundred forty-three (143) institutions
of higher education are now offering certificate or degree programs in emergency management with no tactical operations experience required
for admission. Resistance by veteran law enforcement officers and fire fighters may have to be overcome if we are to prepare emergency
managers with required skill sets. Dr. Tom Phelan explores the skills being taught to emergency management students and addresses the
concerns of experienced first responders in accepting their leadership.
Audience
College and University Emergency Management professors and students
Emergency managers
FEMA, State EMO Employees
