Week 5 – Assignment: Improve Limitations on Public Organizations

As director of the policy office with the American Red Cross-Washington, D.C. Headquarters, prepare an organizational PowerPoint briefing to explain how a newly implemented information-sharing limitation will restrict your team’s efforts to collaborate with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during an impending hurricane expected to produce severe flooding, potentially leaving millions homeless in Texas. Be sure to discuss the following in your briefing:

• Define your office’s role and effectiveness in producing quick policy turnaround.
• Determine the results of limits to information sharing on developing joint agency policies.
• Explain the benefits of expeditious collaborations with federal and state partners.
• Analyze the effects of information sharing among public sector agencies during emergencies.
• Conclude with your improved position on related public policies to address the impending hurricane.
