The documents in this series are intended to apply to agencies of all sizes and types. How the suggested strategies are implemented will undoubtedly vary according to a department's specific size and nature. The first report, Communication and Public Health Emergencies: A Guide for Law Enforcement, is a guide for law enforcement executives that identifies the crucial components of an effective public health communications plan.

However, they seem to be a forgotten subset of our population when it comes to emergency management. In fact, pets have received far superior treatment and care than prisoners during disasters. With the majority of prisons across the country facing limited funding, staffing shortages, and a lack of resources, emergency management planning has fallen to the side. Without some form of Federal oversight or guidance, correctional facilities across the country will remain unprepared to respond to and recover from disasters, failing at their duty to protect prisoners, as well as the public.
