Talk:Emergency management

message: This page is a mess. I argue for a complete restructuring of this page. I think a general template could be as follows.
purpose: provide a high level overview of emergency management as a discipline and profession
Outline (general)
1 What em is
2 difference between emergency, disaster, catastrophe
2.1 difference between hazards and disasters
3 phases of emergency management
3.1 preparedness
3.2 mitigation
3.3 response 
''
3.4 recovery
3.5 other terminology (risk reduction, prevention, etc.)
4. profession of EM
5. Discipline of EM
6. EM practices within nations (this would be where the national system section goes, but could also have other relevant information)
7. international EM organizations (this should include UNDRR and information about the Sendai Framework).
I think there is a lot of great informationin on this page, but it really belongs elsewhere or in its own dedicated article (ex. emergency planning ideals)
This article also needs to be less US centric. Not all nations and subnational governments practice EM as the US does, and the article heavily emphisises the US system which is activly misleading.
i think this page should be clearer and simpler. Risky Bussiness (talk) 17:13, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I completely agree and like the layout you set out. I don't know why, for instance, the 'Health and safety of workers' section—while relevant—is so high up. A reader coming to Wikipedia for info on emergency management as a practice should not reading about mold exposure before the Sendai Framework. Penitentes (talk) 18:52, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I also partially wonder if it would be better to cut out discussion of specific national approaches and give those their own joint page or individual articles. Not sure where I stand on this, as on the one side, some basic information is useful, but on the other side, there is now just enough information about each to be actively misleading (ex. listing national EM agencies makes it seem like said agenceis are actual management bodies, where in many cases, they actually play a minor role relative to other structures in the country ex. Japans FDMA vs japans national disaster prevention council (added today) or Canadas PSC vs provincial EM bodies (also added clarity regarding this today).

thread_title:  I want to clean up this talk page and remove old, now irrelevant discussions. Anyone have issues with this? 

message: I am considering adding information about disaster management to either this page or as a separate child article, as a project for a university course. Would this be an advisable action? I could not seem to find a current article about natural disaster mitigation, specifically, but am unsure if it is too similar to this article or another, or if it should instead be a subtopic in this article.
To do this, I would describe disproportionate effects of disasters on certain communities, and actions they could take to lessen impacts of the future. Furthermore, I would go through a history of actions intended to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. </ref>  Natural Disaster Mitigation : a Scientific and Practical Approach / InterAcademy Panel on International Issues.
