assignment 3 surviving disaster at home submit assignment
Overview
In this assignment, you will evaluate agency efforts to prevent or respond to disasters in your own local community. First, identify one of the natural disasters most likely to strike where you live. Second, select a disaster site to visit and evaluate. This could be, for example, a shelter or aid distribution center. If you cannot physically go to a site, you may find a written disaster response plan (e.g., from a local school, hospital, or government agency) to evaluate. Third, assess which aspects of the plan exemplify “best practices.†Determine which aspects of the plan are most likely to produce unintended negative consequences; who are they most likely to effect? Cite 5 or more peer-reviewed academic books or articles (including material from the readings and lectures) to support your arguments.
