EMG6301 Emergency Management

Unit 6 Assignment  

Instructions

Congratulations! You are now the emergency manager for your community!

Our readings in Units V and VI provided information on several disaster declarations, grants, and recovery programs a community can apply to for help responding to disasters that overwhelm local and state resources.

For this assignment, select a type of disaster that might occur in your own community. Compose a four-page paper including the following elements:

Provide an introduction that briefly details the major points of your essay.

Provide a brief background on your community that includes demographics and geographic region information.

Include information on the type of event you selected (earthquake, hurricane, etc.), and how that event could affect your community.

Analyze how at least two strategies (disaster declarations, grants, recovery programs) can be used to help the community recover from the event.

You are required to use a minimum of two outside sources as part of your essay. One outside source must be from the CSU  Online Library.

For guidance in finding library resources, you can view the CSU Online Library’s video, How to Research Emergency Services Management Topics. (Transcript for How to Research Emergency Services Management Topics video)

The completed assignment must be a minimum of four full double-spaced pages in length, not including the title page and reference page.

Be sure to summarize, paraphrase, and cite the information—do not copy directly from the textbook or from any other source. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced according to APA guidelines; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and entries in the reference section.

Formatting information is provided for you in the CSU Citation Guide, so please take a moment to review that resource to correctly format your work.
