Overview: "Information sharing and inter-agency coordination is clearly needed to facilitate a successful emergency incident response. Yet many public and private organizations lack the comprehensive emergency response plans that define the roles and responsibilities of trained personnel responding to an unexpected incident, and describe how to work “side-by-side” with responders from other agencies. Training itself is an issue, as many organizations do not know where to turn for assistance regarding emergency preparedness, nor do they have the time to stop the daily task of operating a business or service to educate personnel on how to respond to disasters, or to implement the emergency preparedness and response requirements now mandated by the Federal government. In the local communities, where such training is mandated, agencies participating in an emergency response are typically not coordinated in their efforts, and to make matters worse, severe shortages exist in the area of emergency management personnel.
