Defense Support of Civil Authorities Course UNCLASSIFIED Operational Perspectives  Emergency management generally works well Sometimes a “one person shop”/collateral duty Major focus is obtaining grants ($$$)  Catastrophic events are different All agencies are maxed out Federal government will never be quick enough or have enough resources 11
