Introduction

The annual Body of Knowledge survey is utilized to capture what the practitioner and academic communities consider the top ten “must reads” for emergency management students. Since 2006, the survey has alternated annually to survey either practitioners or academics. This year, 2008, is the second time the survey has been administered to academics. The survey results have historically shown that while some consensus can be arrived at on the top selections, the bulk of selections have been selected only by a single program. This year, as in past years, a large number of selections are single entries (only selected by one respondent), but the number of single entries have decreased dramatically this year perhaps indicating a greater level of consensus.

Methodology & Results

All of the institutions listed on the FEMA Higher Education Project webpage under the College Lists as offering a certificate or degree program were solicited by email to submit their top ten “must reads” (via the listed point-of-contact). In total, 120 institutions were solicited and 44 responses were received. Of the 120 institutions solicited, 12 of the point-of-contact persons were either no longer valid or had incorrect contact data. Of the remaining 108 institutions, nine (9) sent emails saying they did not feel they were capable of responding to the survey as they either only taught one course or were the director of the program and not familiar with the materials used in the coursework. Of the 44 responses received, five (5) contained no selections, six (6) contained between one and five selections, ten (10) contained between six and nine selections, and twenty-three (23) contained ten selections. In total, 340 selections were submitted.

Of the five responses that listed no selections, the primary reason given was that the party responding did not teach in the program (i.e., program director). One respondent could not respond because their program had not run any emergency management courses due to low enrollment which resulted in class cancellations. Programs offering both undergraduate and graduate certificate and degree programs replied; the type or level of program did not significantly affect the number of selections provided.

To provide a better understanding of the data submitted, the five surveys that provided no submissions will not be factored into the discussion below. All discussion regarding percentiles will be based on an n of 39.

This year’s survey saw a number of new publications entering the list. Table 1 lists this year’s top selections. The bolded entries are those that are appearing in the top ranks for the first time (indeed, most are also making their first appearance on a Body of Knowledge list having only recently been published). This year’s list has 208 list entries; 48% of the entries are specific to one respondent (i.e., program). This is most startling comparatively to academia’s 85% single entry rate percentage in 2006 and practitioner’s 73% single entry rate percentage in 2007. It would appear from this year’s greatly reduced single entry rate percentage that greater consensus on “must reads” may be developing.

Entries that have multiple editions have been asterisked to indicate that more than one edition was referenced (the latest edition was listed). With the changing nature of emergency management law and policy, many texts are updating frequently causing some consternation amongst faculty. One respondent commented in reference to a popular emergency management text saying,

“…they (book title omitted) change their book so much (minimal changes!) that students are getting really frustrated since they cannot sell their books back often. It’s a good money maker for them and I have tried to stick to older versions to save the students money (and since there is little difference there- I am capable of making updates)-but they actually discontinue them. The current version marks the last one I am buying. When it changes again – I am abandoning the book.”

Another concern shared by a respondent was the quality of texts available - calling them “duplicative” and frustrated that they seemed to be “recycling the same ideas over and over without any groundbreaking ideas”, the respondent posited that perhaps emergency management needs to seek more ideas from “outside” the field. This year’s list does have many new entries that have not been on the list in the past, which would suggest that programs are moving beyond the standard textbook format. The entirety of the 2008 Body of Knowledge list follows Table 1 below.
