Q Topic: Do We Expect Too Much in Disaster Management/Homeland Security and Course Reflection Time? Based on your readings from the text and your own research, do you think the average citizen expects too much from the various levels of government when it comes to disaster management or terrorism related matters? Consider all 4 phases of disaster management. Why do you think citizens are the way you think they are? Does government over promise and under deliver? Finally, share your thoughts about the course. Did this course cause you to change your mind or opinion about anything related to homeland security? What was it? Why or why not? Maybe something was reinforced—if so, explain. What was the most important thing you learned in this course and why? Your thread must be completed by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday of Module/Week 8, and your replies must be completed by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of the same module/week.

During an emergency situation, both citizens and the government play a crucial role because although government is responsible for the safety and security of the citizens, the citizens also have responsibilities on their own. Citizens consider the government as their supervisor and expect the government to provide them necessary service and protection during the times of emergencies however, many would argue that in order to gain political power and make people feel safer, sometimes the government also tend to make promises which are not true because it is sometimes not possible to prevent risks such as the risks of natural disasters and this might lead to false expectations.
