IMMEDIATE ACTION Emergency Management 4
RECOMMENDATION
The Governor's Division of Emergency Management should expand its current
Web site to provide more information related to emergency planning and infor-
mation during a crisis as well as develop a best practices database on emergency
management.
COMMENTS:
" When.a disaster strikes, citizens need information, but are not always sure where to
find it. Texans need a single source of information to reduce confusion and increase
access to information and services before, during and after a disaster.
" The Governor's Division of Emergency Management (DEM) currently has a Web
site that provides some information on emergency planning
<http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/dem/>, and has added some information on domestic
terrorism.
" This Web site should be expanded to include information on finding missing people,
locating hospitals, benefits and assistance, potential scams, fraud and travel. It
should include information on various sources of aid, including federal, state or
local governments or relief organizations. The Web site should also include check-
lists for various entities such as schools, businesses, state agencies or local govern-
ments for readiness and recovery under disaster conditions.
" In coordination with the Department of Information Resources, DEM should estab-
lish a front-page link on TexasOnline for emergency response and notification.
" The Governor's Division of Emergency Management should establish and maintain
a database of best practices that can be accessed through the Web site and used by
schools, local governments and businesses to share ideas on emergency manage-
ment.
