Case 4: Bioterrorism -- Community Preparedness (Page 8 of 49)
Phase One: Thinking About the Issues
Q2b. What other agencies, organizations or entities have a stakeholder interest in community preparedness? And why?
Suggested Solution
Other entities have a stakeholder interest in community preparedness. These include
- Red Cross
- Associations and non-profit agencies
- ports
- airlines
- transportation agencies
The Red Cross provides services that support infrastructure and respond to other emergencies.
Associations and non-profit agencies often support or instigate policy changes at various levels of government.
Transportation agencies, port and airline officials have a deep concern with bioterrorism since they will likely be the carriers for the people affected with a disease or who are responsibility for creating policies and regulations that those in the transportation business follow.
There are many other institutions that are concerned with this topic. What other institutions can you name with a significant interest that weren't listed? Why would you bother to keep your eye on these entities?
