Air Operations Branch Director: Fill & Download for Free

They run around yelling “Auntie Em, Auntie Em! It's a twister, it's a twister!”Just kidding, most police, and other first responders start with an emergency action plan. That is often in coordination with other responsible agencies under a county or statewide Emergency Management Agency. Most EMAs operate under the FEMA Incident Command System, that will detail how a Incident Command Post is stood up, managed day to day during the incident, and stood down at the conclusion. It has detail positions for Incident Commander, Branch Directors (i.e. Air Operations and Ground Operations, and Section Chiefs (Finance and Admin Chief, etc). The police agencies usually fill specific jobs within the overall Emergency Action Plan.Coordinating with other agencies is vital. For example, on 9/11/01, the NYPD was responsible for the streets in front of the WTC. The Port Authority Police were in charge of inside the Towers, and the Transit Police were responsible for the subway station under the WTC. Then add FDNY and about a dozen other agencies into the mix, with different communication protocols, frequencies and equipment not conforming to an agreed upon standard, and you only add to the confusion. FEMA developed the Incident Command System in part as a lesson learned after 9/11.

On the other hand there are parties like Congress, AAP and others also some terrorist organizations and some niggard minds who are foes to this Man. Instead of all oppositions and obstacles, this Man continues his selfless service towards nation.The decision of Demonetization which PM took very vigilantly was a very wise and fair decision and indeed needs a lot of courage and boldness.According to my opinion, Mr. Modi had endangered himself with a lot of enemies but believe; He will stay Safe and Sound. These are the reasons why:The Special Protection Group (SPG) : The SGP is an armed force of the Union for providing proximate security to the Prime Minister of India and former Prime Minister of India and members of their immediate families wherever they are.

Modi Ministry: The ministry set by Mr. Narendra Modi is very supportive and reliable. On 31 May 2014, Prime Minister Modi abolished all existing Group of Ministers (GoMs) and Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoMs). A statement from the PMO explained, "This would expedite the process of decision making and usher in greater accountability in the system. The Ministries and Departments will now process the issues pending before the EGoMs and GoMs and take appropriate decisions at the level of Ministries and Departments itself". The UPA-II government had set up 68 GoMs and 14 EGoMs during its tenure, of which 9 EGoMs and 21 GoMs were inherited by the new government. The move was described by the Indian media as being in alignment with Modi's policy of "minimum government, maximum governance". The Indian Express stated that the GoMs and EGoMs had become "a symbol and an instrument of policy paralysis during the previous UPA government". The Times of India described the new government's decision as "a move to restore the authority of the Union Cabinet in decision-making and ensure ministerial accountability".
