WEEK 3

APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY SITUATION BY THE

COMMUNITY SECURITY AGENTS
The community security agents can respond to emergency through the following
approaches
1. Signal Detection Approach; This is the ability to diagnose an impending
troubles or emergency, in order to choose an appropriate turnaround or
avoidance approach to implement the change process.
2. Preparation and Preventive Approach; Before an emergency community
security agents should prepare to avert the emergency that had
foreshadowed during signal detection stage and if the emergency occurs,
they should equally try to prevent its escalation by implementing a change
process.
3. Damage Control and Containment Approach; The aim of this strategy is to
limit the threat to the safety, financial, reputation and lives of members of
the community during emergency.
4. Recovery through Continuous Planning Approach: When emergency hits
the community, the security agent should be able to protect the citizens and
prevent the escalation of such emergency by encouraging the people to
carry on with their routine businesses and duties while they are
simultaneously working and planning on how they will recover from the
damages caused by the emergency.
5. Communication Strategic Approach: Skillful and careful communicating
during emergency period is an appropriate response by community security
agents to help in controlling and averting the emergency, because the
efforts by many interest groups to communicate with the public when an
unexpected event occurs may have negative impact on the community.
So the community security agents must develop strategies to control
unskilled communication process by some interest groups during
emergency situations.
