Welcome to the Disaster Management Blog

I’m Professor Ali Gheith, director of the MPA program in Emergency and Disaster Management at Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY), and I cordially welcome you to our Emergency and Disaster Management blog, Disaster Central. It’s a catchy name, I know, but particularly so because of the vital subject matter it covers.

Right now at Disaster Central, we’re discussing numerous general topics relating to Emergency and Disaster Management, such as:

• Counter-Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism
• Maritime Domain Protection
• Intelligence and Information-Sharing
• Emergency Management Planning
• Airline and Transportation Security
• Critical Infrastructure Protection
• Public Sector Continuity
• Exercise Design
• Human Services
• Evacuation and Sheltering
• Emergency Preparedness

Within each of these topics, Disaster Central features themed discussions that draw upon historical, operational, cultural, economic, philosophical, technological, political, and other sources and examples to create an on-line forum for the advancement of knowledge, insights, and wisdom relating to the Emergency and Disaster Management disciplines.

Disaster Central also posts topics relating to past Emergency and Disaster Management events, including historic natural, human-made, and technological disasters. In these posts, participants can discuss the circumstances behind some of history’s catastrophes, both large and small, as well as the often-harsh lessons learned.

Disaster Central is also a resource for information relating to MCNY’s MPA program in Emergency and Disaster Management, and on how you can apply for admission to this selective program.

While one of the cardinal rules in politics is never make it personal, and never take it personally, Disaster Central respectfully requests that participants avoid engaging in personal attacks, threats, inflammatory language, and other unprofessional behaviors that can hinder an intelligent and relevant discourse on Emergency and Disaster Management topics. This includes the use of profanity. Thank you in advance for your professional cooperation, and welcome to Disaster Central, MCNY’s Emergency and Disaster Management blog.
