The Effects Emergency’s Can Have On a population.

Serving in goverance can be a very rewarding experance. For the most part the population that you serve are nice friendly people, as long as you are helpful to them in the lives that they intend to live. There are chnages that take place in an entire population, how that population views their neighbors, first responders, and politician’s

That change can be unexpected, and sudden. Emergency’s, like fires, weather related events, protracted health emergency’s can have effects that change how people view you, and what you do. Populations can become angary because someone in the office, that you now hold, made promisses that are either:

  • Not realistic
  • Not possible to do

How you handle this anger is largely up to you, but I suggest that you listen, be honest, be forthright, keep to the facts and the truth. Staying positive can be a problimatic, but sticking to the facts without name calling can help adjust attitudes.
