Emergency Management Report: Flood Response, Safety, and Animal Rescue

This report provides an overview of emergency management strategies during floods. It explains how emergency management teams implement pre-arranged plans, allocate resources, and establish shelters to ensure public safety. The report emphasizes the importance of preparedness, including the creation of emergency kits and the training of individuals. It also highlights the significance of maintaining public confidence, providing security in shelter areas, and rescuing animals during floods. The report references several key publications in the field of emergency management, such as Haddow, Bullock, & Coppola (2017), Kreibich, Müller, Schröter, & Thieken (2017), and Waugh & Streib (2006). These resources support the report's discussion on the role of emergency management in responding to and mitigating the impacts of flood events.

Operation management

The way in which emergency management helps to save lives in emergency mainly flood
Emergency management can be defined as strategic management of resources and
responsibilities in order to deal with humanitarian aspects of tragedies. Emergency
management makes pre-arrangement so that quick action can be taken at the time of flood.
This is supported by proper action plan and budget (Waugh & Streib, 2006). Set up of shelter
area is done for the survivors and provide first and psycho-social support. For flood,
preparedness kit is prepared and stored and same is distributed among needy families at the
time of emergency. Further, individuals are trained so they save lives. Emergency plan B is
also prepared and tested during rehearsals.
The way in which emergency management makes the people feel safe
It is general tendency for normal human to get panicked at the time of disaster or at the time
of indication of disaster. At this time it is essential for rescue team and regulatory authorities
to be confident and mentally strong to provide assurance to the public that they are safe and
rescue plan is prepared in case of emergency (Haddow, Bullock and Coppola, 2017). They
should broadcast the available resources and facilities they are having for the emergency so
that public can be mentally prepared for the emergency and can act rationally.
The way in which emergency management helps to maintain security in some certain
areas
At the time of flood, shelter area will be secured and sufficiently equipped with resources.
Barriers will be constructed to stop the flood water and walls will be secured with the seals of
waterproofing compounds in order to prevent seepage (Kreibich, Müller, Schröter and
Thieken, 2017). Further regular guidance will be provided by local authorities. Trained and
experience team will be there to help public and to console them so they do not panic and can
follow guidance of team.
Need to save animals
Yes animals needed to be saved at the time of flood or any other emergency however their
priority will be based on available resources. So, first priority will be given to human and
then animals will also be rescued and shifted to shelter home (Haddow, Bullock and Coppola,
2017). For example in case of fire, first people will be saved from burning and then team will
save animals as well.
