Emergency Management & Homeland Security: Interagency Collaboration- Emergency!
BY David E. Booher and Adam Sutkus
Center for Collaborative Policy, California State University Sacramento
Summary
This is a six-party
negotiation among public officials to
develop a plan to utilize federal funds for
emergency preparedness, agree on an on-going
working relationship, and develop a press
strategy to engage the public in the
planning. The objective of the meeting is to
develop an interagency memorandum of
understanding (MOU) and a joint press
strategy. This role play works best if
participants already have experience with
interest-based negotiation. One of the
players must both represent his/her agency
and serve as facilitator of the meeting. The
role play materials include both general
information and confidential information for
each of the players.
