EMHS699 K001 Winter 2024 Graded Discussions Week 10: Progress Report
Good Day Classmates,
My topic, Large-Scale Cyber Vulnerabilities and the Implications for Emergency Disaster Management, is
progressing along nicely. I am just about finished with the literature review and working on the analysis
portions now. I am moving in early May, trying to purchase a house, and all the things that come with
closing out one new job and starting another. So I find myself distracted at times but still motivated to
finish strong.
There have been a lot of successes associated with my research. In previous years, when I researched
cyber related topics, it was challenging to find substantial evidence and data. While everyone
acknowledged the issue of a potential cyber-attack, the field was still developing. In my opinion, the
cyber field was missing required legislation that would adequately minimize the potential threats.
Especially as it relates to critical infrastructure since it is mostly controlled by the private sector.
Fortunately, over the past 2-3 years, more policies have been developed to bridge government concerns
with private sector responsibilities.
An additional challenge this has posed in my research is that it appears states are only just beginning to
prioritize the establishment of a suitable cyber response posture. I selected three states for my data
comparison: New York, Illinois, and California. Data is indicating that just over the past 2-3 years, these
states have begun prioritizing allocation of resources and funding to mitigate threats. This has been
great as a way to show emergency managers are checking the right boxes, however I think this will cause
a false sense of security or progression. I selected these states because according to census data they
have the largest U.S. populations. However, it might have been more prudent to select one smaller state
to highlight potential disparities. In other words, larger states will more likely obtain resources because
they are experiencing increased cyber-attacks and can better articulate requirements with larger staffs.
However, if a better comparison was sought, possible gaps might reveal that smaller states should be just
as invested. So, more to follow on that.
Another challenge is that I am getting so much data on the new legislation and policies, that I have not
adequately made the connections to how this shapes emergency manager’s roles and responsibilities or
their internal cyber execution. I am going to have to bound my research to ensure I relate everything
back to the main topic and objectives within my original outline.
Good luck everyone as we move into the final stretch!
Sincerely,
Michelle

Ms. Ferguson,
This sounds like an interesting topic. Although I must admit I am so poorly versed in cyber vulnerabilities that I do not think I would be able to offer you any substantive information re your paper.
I did have a question, I saw that you focused your research on CA, IL, and NY. Is the legislation you are researching specify the governmental level of applicable cyber response? I ask because I work in municipal public safety and am wondering if the applicable legislation that is being discussed at state levels will also be mandated for lower levels of government within the state. I understand just how expensive this type of infrastructure can be especially for a municipality with other financial issues. However, cities and communities must find a method to balance the need for improve cyber resiliency with the reality of monetary issues. I could easily see how the large states listed here, should they implement a state mandate for cyber infrastructure upon lower levels of government, could literally price cities out existence.
Again, I am way out of my depth of knowledge. So if none of what I said made any sense I understand haha.
Good luck!
Jeff
