Prevention Strategies of Emergency Management and Disaster Professionals Battling Burnout
Abstract
Burnout in the world of public services, particularly in emergency and disaster management, can be a paradox. Two standard modes of operations often exist, including steady state (blue sky) operations of prevention and planning activities amid conflicting priorities and politizing events and the activation (grey sky) operations of responding to incidents, disasters, and crises. These two high-stress modes of operation, coupled with added pressure from leadership and resource limitations, increase undue stress in a first responder environment without the protections and resources afforded most first responders. This chapter will review and discuss the background and causal impacts of burnout in emergency and disaster management, provide recommendations and strategies for prevention and recovery and evidence-based practices, and leave you with additional considerations for your jurisdiction, policies, and/or practices.
