"Hurricane Katrina was the most destructive natural disaster in U.S. history. The nation was in shock and many governmental officers and administrators as well as American taxpayers cannot help but wonder what could be done to ensure better preparation as a nation for the next formidable disaster. In fact, there have been several official lessons learned reports and the findings and recommendations from these reports of the response to Hurricane Katrina have been addressed. These reports provided the comprehensive picture of the disaster, pinpointed many deficiency areas, and suggested a corrected course of action at the Federal, State, and local level agencies to prepare, respond, and recover from the massive disasters. Though we fully agree with the needs for better planning and preparedness, those previously reported findings and recommendations are, in general, a culmination of top-down approach based on rational decision-making system. What has been lacking in the previous reports is bottom-up approach to deal with the disaster at the scene by real people, first responders (FR), who are making a difference during the crisis. In this paper, we attempt to understand how and what types of training technologies can be provided to support and prepare our first responders to deal with such unimaginable scale of disaster. Based on our findings, we are now proposing an alternative training model that combines cognitive and behavior aspects when preparing the FR. Consequently, the third project component - developing a training module based on both engineering (cognitive readiness) and sport psychology (mental skills training) - was added"--Abstract.

In the event of a crisis, today more than ever, first-responder public information officers (PIOs) including police, fire, EMS, hospitals and other agencies on the front lines, must be prepared to communicate immediately. When time is of the essence, telling people what they need to know will help an agency come through a crisis with the trust and confidence of a community intact. Developing messaging in the midst of chaos can be fraught with problems. The answer is to create a strategic crisis communications plan in advance to serve as the backbone of your messaging. Preparing for potential issues in advance allows organizations to deal with incidents proactively, and effectively manage the narrative being conveyed by the media and other stakeholders. It also allows an agency to make important communications decisions quickly and decisively, as opposed to agonizing and wasting valuable time and resources debating what to say in the moment. This second edition guide provides simple and effective strategies along with templates to help first-response agencies create a bespoke crisis communications manual to allow it to be not only a first-responder, but a "first-reporter" as well.

This textbook instructs patrol officers in their roles and responsibilities as first responders, with attention to new and evolving threats and responses to incidents that have broadened the scope of responsibility of the patrol officer. The first of the five parts of the book contains four chapters on patrol officer's preparation and conditioning. These chapters focus on the importance and features of mental and physical fitness and preparing for various police encounters, some of which may involve a fight for survival. The four chapters of Part 2 address training and equipment. The chapters discuss the principles of combat shooting, the specifications of intermediate rifles for use in patrol work, specialty impact systems that can be used as less-lethal force options, and first responders' recognition of explosives. Part 3 consists of three chapters on various types of patrol procedures: the use of police dogs in patrol operations, vehicle stops, and building searches. The four chapters of Part 4 consider patrol responses to critical incidents. One chapter instructs patrol officers in the responsibilities of first responders at the scene of a hostage/barricade/suicide incident. A second chapter describes the tactic of "immediate action/rapid deployment," which is recommended for patrol officers who are the first responders to a violent attack in progress that involves multiple actual and potential victims. A third chapter describes the planning and implementation of procedures for a unified command when multiple agencies are responding to a mass disaster. A fourth chapter focuses on knowledge and procedures used by first responders in their handling of disasters caused by terrorists' weapons of mass destruction. The three chapters of Part 5 instruct patrol officers in preparing for civil litigation that alleges violations of constitutional rights due to officer actions.
