Partnerships In Preparedness
A Compendium of Exemplary Practices in Emergency Management
Volume II - May 1997
Acknowledgements
Many people contributed to this second edition of the Compendium. Their contributions include the critical executive support needed to make this initiative a reality: the memoranda, letters, and communications on the Internet encouraging nominations from throughout the emergency management community and the administrative tasks and correspondence involved in the nominations of exemplary practices in emergency management.
Under the policy guidance of Kay Goss, Associate Director, Preparedness, Training, and Exercises Directorate, this FEMA initiative in Partnerships in Preparedness was implemented in the State and Local Preparedness Division under the direction of Robert P. Fletcher, Jr., and William B. Wark. The project officer during development of this second edition was Maria Mlinarcik.
However, these names barely scratch the surface. The many ideas, suggestions, and encouraging words of support received from people throughout the public and private sectors of the emergency management community have given the effort vitality. All of the individual State and local emergency managers whose support and nominations are a part of this edition are acknowledged as contact people in the body of the Compendium.
The Compendium is an example of interagency cooperation between FEMA and the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice (NIJ). NIJ's assistance was instrumental in establishing and applying a model of information sharing among local, State, and Federal agencies.
The individuals listed below played direct roles in developing this edition. We wish to thank everyone associated with launching this initiative and helping it grow.
