Leadership versus Coordination
Leadership versus Coordination :
In the 2006 Little Hoover Commission report to the California State Government on preparing for catastrophic events it notes as a section heading that "EOS [Office of Emergency Services] is Charged with Leadership, but Defines its Mission as Coordination". (13). The report states that "great authority is housed" in the CA OES and that the State had "vested it with powers beyond other state agencies - during emergencies and in advance.....Yet despite these vast powers, the State is not prepared for the risks it faces....OES largely defines its role as coordinating resources in support of state and local agencies" (14-15). (Little Hoover Commission, Preparing for Catastrophic Events, 2007)
