Abstract

Abstract Strategic planning is a critical element in the strategic management of any public organization, including local emergency management agencies (EMAs). However, while the importance of strategic planning in emergency management is well founded, even codified in the national standards, little is known empirically about its actual use, and even less is known about the impacts of the planning process on local programs. As such, this study examined the strategic planning practices of county-level EMAs throughout the United States, focusing on the strategic planning process and its underlying dimensions. A composite index for strategic planning comprehensiveness was developed, based on five planning process dimensions, and then analyzed to gauge its relative impacts on local program quality. The findings revealed that the strategic planning process had a direct and significant impact on the quality of local emergency management programs, with the regression model explaining about 60 % of the variance in the local program quality index scores.
应急管理中的战略规划:强调规划过程的关键作用(和影响)
战略规划是包括地方应急管理机构(ema)在内的任何公共组织战略管理的关键要素。然而,尽管战略规划在应急管理中的重要性是有充分依据的,甚至被写入了国家标准,但对其实际使用的经验了解甚少,对规划过程对地方项目的影响了解更少。因此,本研究审查了美国各地县级环境管理机构的战略规划实践,重点是战略规划过程及其基本方面。基于规划过程的五个维度,构建了战略规划综合性综合指数,并对其对地方规划质量的相对影响进行了分析。研究结果表明,战略规划过程对当地应急管理方案的质量有直接而显著的影响,回归模型解释了当地方案质量指数得分的约60% %的方差。
