Rights of the Individual vs Health and Welfare of Community

How do Ethics play a role in emergency response? One way is in the determination of when the rights of the individual should be sacrificed to keep the entire community safe. What does that decision making process look like? And how does a community enforce such a mandate?  Join us for an exciting discussion on these ethical questions.

What We Will Cover:

• What are the key factors involved in making a decision to restrict individual liberties for the benefit of the entire community? 

• How should our ICMA Code of Ethics be considered when weighing decisions that could negatively impact our individual constituents for the benefit of the whole?

• How do local government services change when confronted with a natural or manmade disaster or other situation that is a risk to our community? 

• How do we safeguard the physical and mental health of our employees when responding to this less-than-normal situation?
