About this listen

 Whether or not emergency management is considered a profession has been discussed and debated for several years. There are all sorts of implications including recognition as professionals, education versus training, classroom instruction versus on-the-job experience, and respect for the work emergency managers do both when responding to a disaster and when doing other things to preserve life, property, and the environment. In addition to performing the duties of an emergency manager, there are political and policy-making issues requiring the emergency manager’s attention. Dr. Carol Cwiak, Associate Professor of Emergency Management at North Dakota State University has been leading the transformation of emergency management from a job to a profession. Dr. Cwiak has lectured around the world on the importance of the code of ethics and core competencies for emergency management.
