The field of emergency management is “the discipline and profession of applying science, technology, planning, and management to deal with extreme events that can injure or kill large numbers of people, do extensive damage to property, and disrupt community life. When such events do occur and cause extensive harm, they are called disasters” (Hoetmer, 1991). This definition eloquently defines emergency management clearly explains what a disaster is, and exemplifies how academia and research provides conceptual and practical tools for emergency managers. Researchers tell us who we are; what we do; how and why we do the things we do; as well as provide guidance and advise as to where we should be going.

Abstract In view of the present situation and the American Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation's interest in physical fitness, it seems appropriate that a summary of the health activities of the Federal Government be presented at this time. The present report is an analysis of the health education activities of two of the departments of the United States Government. When the report was started, another committee had charge of the investigation of the health activities of the Federal Security Agency but because of the current unsettled state of that agency, that part of the report is being reserved until a later issue of this magazine. It is hoped that this report will enable health and physical education teachers to make better use in their own local situations of the services available in this field from these departments of the Federal Government
