Final Report of Emergency Services Interim Study Committee, February 2007

The Legislative Council established the Emergency Services Interim Study Committee in 2006 and authorized the Committee to meet for two days during the 2006 Legislative Interim. Upon request by the Committee, the Legislative Council subsequently approved a third meeting. The Committee was charged to study the governance, structure, and funding of the state's emergency services and available training for emergency services providers, and receive input from the Department of Public Defense's Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management; Departments of Human Services, Public Health, and Public Safety, including the State Fire Marshal; and representatives of emergency services providers, including the Iowa Firemen's Association, Iowa Fire Chiefs' Association, Iowa Association of Professional Fire Chiefs, Iowa Professional Fire Fighters, Iowa Emergency Medical Services Association, and emergency room physicians.

Lost in translation : euro-compatibility, legal security, and the autonomous implementation of EU law in Switzerland

This article presents the legislative and judicial practice relating to the "autonomous implementation" of EU law in Switzerland. Given that "euro-compatibility" is the central consideration behind this legislative policy, one would expect Swiss authorities to have devised legislative and hermeneutical techniques guaranteeing high fidelity to EU "mother law". That is not the case, however, and as this article shows much is lost in the translation from EU to Swiss Law

Subsídios para a Implementação de uns SIG na Câmara Municipal da Praia

Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG) são, actualmente, uma das ferramentas consideradas imprescindíveis para a gestão e planeamento nas autarquias locais. Conseguem recolher, armazenar, organizar e seleccionar, transformar e representar a informação de natureza espacial, do “mundo real” para um vasto conjunto de circunstâncias. Numa altura em que, cada vez mais, as Autarquias Locais em Cabo Verde, têm visto as suas competências e atribuições aumentarem, fruto do acentuado processo de descentralização, torna-se necessário, encontrar formas e instrumentos que permitem tratar com rapidez, grandes volumes de informação, tornando mais célere, transparente e credível o processo de tomada das decisões. Os Sistemas de Informação Geográfica, pelas suas características conseguem garantir, às Autarquias, estas funcionalidades. Este trabalho propõe um modelo de implementação de SIG na Câmara Municipal da Praia, em Cabo verde, recorrendo à um conjunto de subsídios, recolhidos no seio da instituição camarária, e considerados fundamentais para a concepção de um modelo que seja efectivamente reconhecido pelos seus potenciais utilizadores e beneficiários. O modelo ora apresentado, resulta também da análise e de subsídios recolhidos em três experiencias de implementação de SIG adoptadas em outras realidades e que tiveram êxitos nos resultados preconizados.
