Resource
Manager
James E. Burnes
|
The
Department of Emergency & Military Affairs Resource
Management Office (RM) consolidates the budget, finance,
logistics, telecomunications and infomation management functions
for the division.
Information
Management (IM)
The division implemented a new strategic information
technology plan. The effort focused on developing an automated
system which streamlines day-to-day operations and readily
adapts to an emergency management system, both networked
throughout the state. The Information Manager networked
the organization's stand alone computer systems into a local
area network (LAN) linking division staff, county emergency
coordinators, state and federal agencies, FEMA Region IX
and the "Emergency Information System."
Telecommunications
The division continues to improve the capabilities of
the statewide emergency communications system in concert
with the state Survivability Capability Management Plan
which analyzes mode, risk, redundancy and capability. A
long range development plan provides the strategy to ensure
statewide communications coverage by either radio, telephone,
satellite communications, computer networking or a combination
thereof. The division continues to expand its state-of-the-art
telephone switching system to provide additional user options
and to meet the demands of data automation and information
management.
Budget
and Finance
The section's responsibilites include budgeting, financial
management, and oversight of accounting and auditing of
state and federal funds.
Grants
and Loan Distribution
The Resource Management Office is responsible for providing
emergency financial assistance to Arizona Reserve Component
military families, in the form of loans or grants. The primary
sources of funds are from voluntary contributions donated
by private and corporate cash donations.
Logistics/Administration
During emergencies, the section coordinates emergency
procurement, availability of state resources and support
for the State Emergency Operations Center.
