Local governments may be required to formulate, adopt, and
implement public policies in response to international issues and events. International issues
and events that would require policy decisions by local
government officials include the following…
Responding to public health
concerns
Planning for the public safety in the event of an act of
terrorism
Preparing economic development policies in
response to the emerging global
economy
Implementing policies to protect the environment,
e.g., wildlife conservation
To better understand how the local and the international issues merge, imagine if you heard on the news about an outbreak
of “Swine Flu” – or of poisoning in your neighborhood from lead paint on toys
made in another country. It could be that your issue is global warming, terrorism, or losing jobs in your community to an overseas company. All of these issues
might be better served with local policies, community planning, and cooperation
among agencies.
Pretend you are on the Wythe County Board of Supervisors or
Wytheville Town Council. In your group, create a plan that includes
at least 5 things that would be implemented in case of a terrorist
attack here in our county. The final copy of your plan should be
written on the left side of notebook.
