Weaponized Biohazard Emergency Plan
Propose one response strategy and one recovery initiative for your community. The response strategy and recovery activity should each address a need in your community evident through the information provided in the scenario. In justifying your arguments, be sure address all of the following points in your paper:
1. Identify a disaster event that has taken place in the United States in the last year. Describe the event including:
a. A description of the hazard, its duration, a description of its consequences and the kinds of disruption it has caused, whether or not it is still ongoing.
b. Describe who was affected. This includes geographic location, but also any subsets of the population/community that experienced the event or especially severe consequences
c. Note: you must pick a different event than the one you selected in your Paper 2 assignment. It can be the same hazard type, but cannot be the same event.
2. Identify a response strategy and a recovery strategy that either you would have recommended to members of this effected community, OR one that they engaged in that you believe was effective. Summarize the response approach.
Summarize the recovery approach
a. Make sure you are clear on what exactly the activity is and who/which organizations would be involved in implementing or facilitating the activity.
b. Make sure that you define response and recovery and clearly identify which activity is which.
3. What issue/concern in the community does this address? Who and/or What does it focus on?
4. For both the recovery and the response activities, justify why each of these approaches is the best approach. In doing so, make sure that you support your argument with:
a. Information about your event and the community/location you are focusing on.
b. Theories and policies discussed in the course
