Définition

  • Emergency management in the United States is a relatively new profession, originating in the civil defense context during World War I and more directly evolving during the Cold War after World War II. The latter especially connected the national security mission to the local security mission, particularly with exercises with the scenario of a Russian bomb reaching the United States and the use of a new technology, an elementary Emergency Broadcast System. Large natural disasters, such as Hurricane Andrew (1992), Midwest floods (1993), Northridge earthquake (1994), 9/11 (2001), and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (2005), have impacted the profession, leading to increased press coverage; voluntary standards; extensive legislation; federal guidance; state actions; and new planning, training, and exercise scenarios and efforts, all strengthening the profession.
