The Roles of Emergency Managers and Emergency Social Services Directors to Support Disaster Risk Reduction in Canada 2020-10-21 .txt text/plain 5666 248 47 Through content analysis, five themes and one model were generated from the data: 1) Emergency management is not synonymous with first response, 2) Unrealistic expectations for a "side-of-desk" role, 3) Minding the gap between academia and practice with a 'whole-society' approach, 4) Personal preparedness tends to be weak, 5) Behind the scenes roles can have mental health implications. This complimentary strategy takes aim at Canadian specific priority areas including: 1) Enhance whole-ofsociety collaboration and governance to strengthen resilience, 2) Improve understanding of disaster risks in all sectors of society, 3) Increase focus on whole-of-society disaster prevention and mitigation activities, 4) Enhance disaster response capacity and coordination and foster the development of new capabilities, and 5) Strengthen recovery efforts by building back better to minimize the impacts of future disasters (Public Safety Canada, 2019). ./cache/cord-350915-x0gn8wqv.txt ./txt/cord-350915-x0gn8wqv.txt
