In the US we have the concept of "Emergency Management Agency"
which is<br>
at least partly not something like
firefighters/ambulance/police. These<br>
exist at federal, state, county and local levels. They more
or less does<br>
three things:<br>
<br>
planning and training for future emergencies. Creation of
"Local<br>
Emergency Plan" documents. Coordinating that lots of people
have<br>
taken a dizzying array of classes. Perhaps hosting classes.<br>
<br>
operating an Emergency Operations Center where command staff
decide<br>
what various resources are going to do during an emergency.<br>
<br>
has some staff who function more or less like firefighters
in that<br>
they go to locations where emergency services are needed and
do urban<br>
search and rescue, swift water rescue, damage assessment<br>
<br>
<br>
The first one is definitely office=government
government=emergency. I<br>
think the second one is too.<br>
<br>
A facility that houses equipment that personnel from the third
case use<br>
as a response base feels like emergency=ses_station.<br>
<br>
Sometimes there are facilities that do all three. There is a
federal<br>
facility in New England that is at least both 2&3 and
surely they must<br>
do 1.<br>
<br>
<br>
Overall I think I'm agreeing with Warin here - some functions
of "Civil<br>
Defense" (as it used to be called before that was politically
incorrect)<br>
are office functions, and some are conceptually similar to
fire/rescue<br>
departments.<br>
