For crisis and emergency planners "food for thought" as we enter what could be an interesting political and economic season.
Planning for Demonstrations, Protests and Civil Unrest
As our society becomes more complex and its problems more intricate, public safety agencies must gain the knowledge and understanding to keep up. Acts of protest and demonstration take place every day across the United States, and increasingly public safety agencies find themselves drawn into these types of events. They can affect EMS and fire agencies from all size jurisdictions.
