“…There appears to be great potential for Geotagging the sites of events to fine tune response. 230 There are cautionary notes to these apparently positive developments. A traditional terroristic technique is to set off a small explosive device to stampede citizens into a square or other assembly area, and then set off a larger device to kill those people.…”

“…Fortunately, York University was nearby. 101 It occupies approximately 500 acres and accommodates about 60,000 students, faculty, and staff. One might guess that this property with facilities for so many could absorb 12,000 for a short period.…”

<p>This novel pandemic has brought out the best and the worst in many social actors. We have seen evidence of cooperative behaviour by members of the public and selfless behaviour among front line workers. We have also seen partisan bickering and blame laying, as well as protest and civil disobedience. This paper explores the legislative, regulatory, communication, and procurement powers of public policy practitioners. The data deal with cooperative behaviour, conflicting policies, and research into human reaction to emergencies. This pandemic was chosen as a catalyst to study a range of issues because an international risk emergency brings policy and administrative matters into sharp relief. The need is protracted, and so are the lessons. The lessons include a gender and political perspective on preparing for an emergency, public communication during a protracted risk event, and asymmetrical approaches to emergency preparedness and response. A conclusion is that state actors in the broad sense of government have not prepared adequately to manage risks before and during emergencies. </p>
