Brief
description of the country selected
I selected Canada, because the core responsibility of the
Government of Canada, is to promote safety and security of
Canada and Canadians, disruptions and or other threats or
emergencies, because they all have the capacity to endanger
life, personal health, safety, property, and delivery services to
Canadians (Canada, 2015). Like us here in America, Canadians
have adopted an all-hazards approach to emergency
management, that encompasses interdependent and integrated
functions, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery
(Canada, 2015).
Canadas mission statement declares on authority of the federal
government, institutions senior management, and members of
the planning team, to develop and issue a mission statement,
defining the purpose of the plan, that indicates how it will
involve the entire organization, defining authority and structure
of the planning group (Canada, 2015).
Cultural factors in the country I selected
One cultural factor Canada might contribute that increases risks
associated with a disaster, would be the cross-cultural
roundtable on security, it was created by the Canadian
government with the purpose of engaging Canadians alongside
with their local governments in a long-term dialogue, on matters
related to national security (Canada, 2015).The goal was to
bring together citizens who are community leaders, that have
extensive experience in social and cultural matters, to help with
emerging developments in national security, or matters that
could impact Canada’s diverse and pluralistic society (Canada,
2015).
The members of the Cross-Cultural Roundtable on Security
group, provides advice and perspectives to the Minister of
Public Safety, and the Minister of Justice, on matters of
national security, because there is no greater role or obligation
for a government then protecting and securing its citizens from
disasters (Canada, 2015). All Canadians know, they live in an
increasingly interconnected, dangerous and complex world, with
an increase in terrorist acts, rapid, globalized spread of
infectious diseases, and challenges to their society, it is critical
to their quality of life to understand this new reality (Canada,
2015).
How I integrate information for Canada
How I might integrate information into a mitigation and
preparedness system for Canada. Canadians, unlike some
Americans, know the threat to security and public safety exist
worldwide, and realize that securing an open society; their
National Security Policy must be a strategic framework
consisting of an action plan designed to ensure Canada’s
preparedness and response to current and future threats
(Canada, 2015). I would focus on events and circumstances that
would require our national response, be prepared beyond the
capacity of individuals, communities or provinces, by
implementing an integrated approach to security issues across
government interagency organizations (Canada, 2015).
Being an American, I know firsthand the realization of a
divided government, and its people. I would employ a model so
emergency responders can adapt to changing circumstances over
time, crafted to balance the needs for national security with
protecting Canada’s citizens, values, and respect for civil
liberties (Canada, 2015). My National Security Policy should
focus on three core interests, Protecting Canada and Canadians
at home and abroad, to ensure Canada and her allies are free
from threats, and provide stakeholders with information about
contributing to international security measures (Canada, 2015).
It should contain several measures that would help Canada build
a more integrated security system, comprised of goals, that are
consistent with their national security policy, I would establish
an integrated threat assessment center, that would ensure all
threat-related information is brought together in a timely
manner to all who need it (Canada, 2015). My National Security
Advisory Council would be comprised of security experts
external to government, someone from the Cross-Cultural
Roundtable on Security, and the Department of Public Safety
composed of members of Canada’s ethno-cultural and religious
communities, would be responsible for testing and auditing
federal departments, and provide key security responsibilities
and activities (Canada, 2015).
