Findings will be presented based on a collective case study that was conducted to understand how climate change education can meet the learning needs of emergency management professionals who must prepare for, and adapt to, the impacts of climate change on communities throughout the US. In this paper, the definition of \"climate change\" centers on anthropogenic climate change and, more specifically, the impact of human activities on the atmosphere's chemical composition. The exploratory collective case study involved six (N = 6) certified emergency management professionals currently practicing in the US as the study's key informants (KIs). In addition to the information collected from the six KIs, a survey was distributed to a larger sample (N = 56) to collect broader information from additional emergency managers to amplify and contrast the data collected from the KI interviews.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 6","pages":"713-724"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145935387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically, masks have evolved from their origins in plague prevention to modern applications in medical, public health, and societal contexts. While essential during health crises such as the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, their use also reveals unintended consequences, including fostering riskier behavior through the Peltzman Effect and enabling anonymity-driven disassociation described by Deindividuation Theory. This article explores the complexities of mask usage at the intersection of public health and safety. It examines how masks, while mitigating disease transmission, can embolden individuals to take greater risks or evade accountability in public disturbances and criminal activities. Through historical and contemporary case studies-including the 1918 influenza pandemic, the Ku Klux Klan's use of masks, and modern legislation like New York's 2024 Mask Transparency Act-the article underscores the need for nuanced policies that balance public health objectives with security concerns. Integrating behavioral theories with legal and emergency management strategies, it advocates for a multifaceted approach to mask policy that addresses both their protective role and potential for misuse, ultimately fostering a safer and more resilient society.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 6","pages":"685-696"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145935437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through comparative case studies of coronavirus disease 2019 responses in Montreal's multilingual communities and Hurricane Ida relief efforts within Louisiana's Haitian-Cajun networks, this research identifies three core tensions: the paradox of relational proximity, trade-offs between immediacy and accuracy in terminology translation, and challenges in scaling informal volunteer networks. The study introduces a hybrid quality control model integrating three components: (1) rapid crisis terminology training to bridge institutional-lay knowledge gaps, (2) peer review circles for contextual meaning-making, eg, negotiating \"heat exhaustion\" in Punjabi dialects, and (3) institutional mentorship to resolve ethical dilemmas, eg, disclosing shelter capacities without triggering trauma. By operationalizing Putnam's bridging/bonding capital and Bourdieu's cultural capital, the model reconciles grassroots agility with professional accountability, demonstrating that citizen interpreters' cultural embeddedness-when systematically supported-can transform emergency language services into participatory practices of language justice. Findings highlight the need for crisis communication frameworks that prioritize both interpretive accuracy and community trust, offering theoretical insights into the sociology of translation and practical guidelines for disaster preparedness.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 6","pages":"737-751"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145935159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, those industries and others are staffing their own roles for EM as the operational aspects of risk management. EM is not for government only. While in agreement with the basic foundational concepts of both Dr. Jennifer Carlson and Dr. Carol Cwiak in their academic advocacy regarding the need for an elevation in the public's acceptance and recognition of professionalism in our field, there is no concurrence as to the specific pathways and doctrine needed to execute this. Questions of national licensure, requirements for accredited higher educational degrees, new oversight entities, and more need to be further discussed and debated, especially in the context of expanding capacity for locally driven practitioners of professional EM in the US.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 5","pages":"563-574"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145422925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to assess the association between the number of casualties in terrorist attacks against healthcare facilities and economic classification of a country. Utilizing data from 1970 to 2018 compiled in the Global Terrorism Database, 901 attacks against healthcare settings were identified in 74 countries. Based on the World Bank economic classification, these 74 countries were categorized into low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income groups. We further grouped these into \"developed\" (high-income countries) and \"developing\" economies (low, lower-middle, and upper-middle economies). A Poisson regression was developed to assess the association between country economic classifications and the number of casualties in attacks on healthcare facilities. A total of 901 incidents of terrorist attacks against healthcare facilities satisfied the database query, with 239 attacks listing at least one casualty. This demonstrated that, in this database set, 30 people in economically developing countries were killed per healthcare facility attack for every one person killed in an attack in a country with a developed economy. Terrorist attacks against healthcare facilities in countries with lower economic status resulted in greater casualties than similar attacks against healthcare facilities in high-income or economically developed countries. This knowledge can help shape ongoing research into terrorism prevention, mitigation, and resource allocation to protect vulnerable healthcare facilities.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 5","pages":"647-652"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145423011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nineteen studies met the inclusion criteria.Results: Relationship-oriented leadership is positively correlated with better well-being outcomes, eg, job satisfaction and engagement, and negatively correlated with poor well-being outcomes, eg, burnout and stress, among police officers and firefighters. It is also associated with individual-eg, emotional regulation and self-esteem-and contextual-eg, organizational support and shared values-predictors and negatively correlated with negative well-being consequences, eg, physical complaints and turnover intentions.Conclusions: Relationship-oriented leadership appears to be associated with reduced stress and improved well-being.

This study aimed to employ interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) and delve into the personal experiences of EM professionals to gain insights into the components needed to professionalize the field, which is the study's purpose. Coupled with sociological and systems theories, IPA provided a comprehensive framework, elucidating key challenges in EM from 10 experienced professionals in leadership roles who have served in EM for more than 6 years. This article shares the discussion surrounding the study's findings, highlighting areas for improvement, offering strategic recommendations for an EM oversight organization, and implementing measures to advance professionalization, drawing from participant insights and established theorists. A governing organization body is noted to be needed by participants to achieve professionalization. Furthermore, according to participants, based on information gathered from this study, there should be a focus on finding this governing organizational body, other than Federal Emergency Management Agency, International Association of Emergency Managers, or any organization that may benefit financially from oversight. Implications of these findings for the field, limitations of this study, and future recommended directions for research are detailed in this article. Legislation was proposed to form a commission, comprised of 21 members of the EM community, to make recommendations for the furtherance of four initiatives closely associated with the activities of the field shared by participants in this study: funding of directorships, education programs, scholarships, and licensure. Findings from this study indicate that we need to continue to see these -initiatives through. Therefore, it is recommended that EM professionals continue to seek out the development of commissions to move toward professionalization.","PeriodicalId":38336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"23 5","pages":"575-592"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145422919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
