The Status of Theory in Emergency Management
The Status of Emergency Management Theory : Issues, Barriers, and Recommendations for Improved Scholarship Paper Presented at the FEMA Higher Education Conference June 8, 2004, Emmitsburg, MD David A. McEntire Emergency Administration and Planning Department of Public Administration University of North Texas Box 310617 Denton, Tx 76203-0617 A massive transformation is taking place in Emergency Management right now. For good or for bad, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States have resulted in a significant reformulation of the purpose and nature of Emergency Management . Terrorism has become the hazard of priority among those making policy decisions. The establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, with the incorporation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, amounts to the most sweeping reorganization of government over the past five decades.
The paper will finally present this author’s views on how to improve understanding of emergency management in the future and highlight conclusions drawn from a session devoted to emergency management theory at the FEMA Higher Education Conference in June 2004. Before so doing, the paper will briefly discuss what is meant by the term “theory.”
