May 2024 News from the CEMIR
The CEMIR has is Substack, but we are going to keep providing highlights here on the EMN, to promote Emergency Management Intelligence.
Highlights for May 2024 - what the CEMIR is working on
Continuing our research and advocacy work on issues with infant and toddler feeding during disasters in the United States. We are participating as evaluators in the National Mass Care Exercise this month and look forward to incorporating our findings into the AAR/IP. Learn more about this work over at Barton Dunant’s site.
Mike’s book Emergency Management Threats and Hazards: Water is in pre-production (being typeset and formatted at the publisher) and is slated for release this September. The book will be available for pre-order on August 20, 2024.
We started exploring the May 2024 police shooting of a 14-year-old student in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. At the time, he was armed with what appeared to be a rifle, but the post-incident investigation indicated it was a pellet gun. This is part of our substack series/section for K12 Schools and Pre-K/Daycare Center sites.
You can find FREE exercise templates (which are aligned with HSEEP standards) at Barton Dunant’s exercise training store, at https://blog.bartondunant.com/ets/. They are building out a series specifically designed for collaboration between public safety groups and K12 schools.
Fee-based consulting services are also available from Barton Dunant on virtually administering training and exercises, as well as controller/evaluator work, including editing/organizing the After-Action Report/Improvement Plan. Learn more at https://bartondunant.com/consulting-services.
