Chapter 12: Structure for Managing Emergency Response
Article Name:
“Florida officials seek tourism boost after Alberto blows through”
Article Review:
The Emergency Operations Center should be the most important building of any community.
This is where all the knowledge and nuts and bolts to keep the safety, economy, and welfare of
all the citizens and dynamics of a city or county, flowing. Every part of our country has its own
hazards, from California and earthquakes, wildfires and tsunami threats, to hurricanes, tornadoes,
and floods in the South and Midwest. Every EOC has its own set of emergency plans based on
the threat assessment.
I bring up economy because you see it every storm season, disasters blow in and everyone flees,
including the tourists which would have spurred the economy but now are gone, and so is the
economy. Disasters not only pull down the economy, and the lack of needed tourism, but then is
the increased cost of preparing, mitigating, and recovery of disasters and emergencies. Hurricane
season started in the south, and now Florida is trying to pull back in tourists in between storms. I
understand that, but I also see a risk involved. According to one source, “As winds and rains let
up from Subtropical Storm Alberto, Florida officials Tuesday were quickly spinning ways to
draw tourists to areas that may have missed out on Memorial Day crowds” (Turner, 2018, para.
1). The Governor of Florida visited an EOC to thank them for a job well done for this first storm
as he was questioned about tourism efforts. He said, “The Legislature gave us $76 million again
this year (for visit Florida), and part of that money is to work on when we have something like
this, to let people know we’re back open for business” (Turner, 2018, para. 5). The EOC is the
hub and is excellent at tracking emergency and disaster situations before they happen, when
possible, and that success is shown by minimal loss of life and property.
When greed steps in, that is when you see tourism take a back seat, but most who have been
through the big storms know those risks, and you see a good attitude with the Governor of
Florida in this article who knows what his State is facing. It shows a good leader also who shows
appreciation to those he knows keeps the public safe.

Chapter:
Chapter 1 – Defining Terrorism
Article Title:
“Terrorism”
Chapter 1 of the text goes into much detail about defining terrorism and the types of terrorism.
What exactly constitutes terrorism and why does it seem so complicated to define? This article
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI, 2021) defines terrorism as a “contested term, with
no set definition for the concept or broad agreement among academic experts on its usage ”
(para. 1). Is it really that difficult to define? It’s a word and as such it should just be in any old
dictionary or textbook glossary and boom there’s the definition. Is it more complicated than that?
To answer my own question, yes, it is very complicated. But at least I’m not alone in the
complicatedness of defining terrorism as it seems like the FBI is having problems too. The article
notes that “the recent spate of extremist attacks in the United States and Europe have highlighted
the difficulty of defining what constitutes ‘terrorism’” (FBI, 2021, para. 2). Here, The FBI
focuses on recent examples extremism to attempt to answer the question, even giving the readers
an account of some of the recent terroristic attacks and how the relate to terrorism and
extremism. By the end of the article the question remains unclear and unanswered, making this
task of defining terrorism that much more confusing.
The pro of this article is that there were some real-world examples. These help show the
complicated nature of defining terrorism.
The article would have been more interesting if there were some frontline details, like the
definition from the FBI’s perspective, especially given it’s the leading legal enforcement
mechanism in the country.
