Emergency Management Cycle
As presented in lecture, the emergency management cycle is the term used to designate the efforts in protection populations from disasters. The four phases include prevention or mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Select one of the four Emergency Management Cycle phases for discussion. At least one member from your group must address each phase.
The first post will briefly define the selected phase of emergency management (prevention or mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery), state the goal of the phase, and give examples of the activities that should take place during a Zombie Pandemic during that phase of the emergency management (4-5 sentences). Write in your own words, citations are not required for discussion posts. The concepts and activities should be taken from the lecture and the CDC’s graphic novella (3 points).
The second post will be a response to another student’s, whether you agree or disagree with the other student’s definition, goals, and recommended activities for the emergency management phase they chose. Explain why.
Again using course concepts from the course rather than stuff from your favorite book or movie.Reply to a phase that no one else has replied to. (3 points)
Use correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar. (.5 point)
Use public health concepts only. This means you should avoid discussing the use of weaponry, military tactics, or violence. (.5 point)
You are required to copy your posts to a word document and submit the document titled `Group2′ to Turnitin located in the folder for the week this was assigned. You aren’t required to include your name within the document. Include the text only from both of your posts, with the posts identified as first and final.
