This link has the actual plan Trump could have used, its a detailed step by step system, you can read every word and look at all the graphs and data they had, it is a good plan to use especially if there is not any other option other than winging it...if Trump and his team had followed it we would have been much better off....
Trump team failed to follow NSC’s pandemic playbook
The 69-page document, finished in 2016, provided a step by step list of priorities – which were then ignored by the administration.www.politico.com
Definitely don't disagree with the points outlined in the document, certainly would be beating a dead horse to reinforce them.
I'm honestly still very insulted someone just tried to tell me that I have no idea what I'm talking about and should familiarize myself the incident command system & emergency management, spare me....
As an important aside, I worked in the planning and homeland security branch (usually just referred to as planning) of the NC State Government's department of public safety and it was MY JOB for two years to recommend courses for other emergency managers to take so they could advance their career(s) in the department, so you could only imagine how much work I had to do, sifting through the hundreds of courses that were offered, understanding the skillset of literally every single emergency manager in all branches of emergency management and trying to fit courses that were not only applicable to their current job, but providing them ones that would advance them to "x" position.
Here's an example of a portion of the training I had to develop for all employees in the operations section. Training would change obviously for each position in the department.

I save a bunch of seed so I should be able to help him out but those are good resources. Southeast Exposure Seed Company is a favorite of mine for what they do to help endangered Southern Apps seeds.Everything is hard to get locally right now. Tell your friend to look online. Johhnys seeds, victory or territorial are among a few I use
Apologies if your tender feelings were hurt, but that means you of all people should know local & state emergency managers don't sit on their hands waiting for a POTUS to lead them by the nose.

Are you done yet? I am probably the very last person you should be trying to talk down to on this forum about emergency management.
The president and his administration has the power to immediately begin deploying federal resources (in particular, FEMA) to assist in disaster response and recovery efforts when state resources are (or are going to be) exhausted even before local disaster declarations are declared, and this usually happens ya know when you have a regional or national crisis, of course CoV dwarfs any natural disaster we've ever seen in terms of national-scale impact so it's a pretty big deal to get support from the feds asap. Dropped the ball by several weeks in that regard.
Instead of acting, they sat on their hands and pointed fingers at the democratic party for overblowing the crisis when they weren't taking it seriously.
Effective emergency management response requires adequate strategic planning, regular exercises, (and then more planning and more exercises, this usually tends to go on for days, if not weeks at a time (for Matthew (2016) for ex planning and homeland security exercises went on for about 3 days or so on top of the exercises that are normally conducted every year for every type of disaster and plans are constantly being tweaked over the course of the entire year), in addition to communication (arguably the most important one) and finally, competence, coherence at all levels of government, the last bit we clearly failed.
You mean Southern Exposure Seed Company, and yes, they are the best IMHO. Ira Wallace is a wealth of knowledge and her book Vegetable Gardening in the Southeast is a must have.I save a bunch of seed so I should be able to help him out but those are good resources. Southeast Exposure Seed Company is a favorite of mine for what they do to help endangered Southern Apps seeds.
And yet somehow many in the private sector made hard choices in January and early February without Trump having to spoon-feed them, by simply evaluating the available data themselves. Why couldn't Mayor Cantrell and Governor Edwards do the same?

You wouldn't suppose that's because the state and local emergency management response when it's expected to become overburdened, isalmost entirelyexclusively dependent on the federal government? Speaking from my own first-hand experience, there's only so much planning you can do at a local and state level irrespective of entities like FEMA, if you don't have (or know) the proper (amount of) support (you'll generally receive (if at all)) from the feds right from the outset and as early as possible, it completely screws with preparedness efforts and throws a massive wrench in drills and exercises that are conducted every year and immediately preceding a disaster, communication (especially in the logistics and operations branch) is pivotal in the preceding stages to eradicate potential failure points, and this lack of preparedness unfortunately does trickle down from the feds all the way to state emergency management directors, the local area coordinators and even emergency operation centers.
Then follow the rules so it isn't 400K plus ... if anyone is reading and comprehending ...Chart Dr. Birx just showed on the briefing is scary. 100-240k US deaths IF we all follow the rules. Oh my god
Great point. With the size of our country and the spread if this virus that seems like a horrific number but 100,000 - 200,000 isnt a crazy number for a country of 300 million. If they get NY under control and stop more NY from happening it will be a victory against this virusThen follow the rules so it isn't 400K plus ... if anyone is reading and comprehending ...
