After Action Report

There is one required paper in this course. It will be evaluated in terms of organization, clarity of presentation (including spelling and grammar), and thoroughness. Each student is required to identify a disaster of interest, conduct online research about the event (do not cite Wikipedia as a source), write an after-action report, and deliver a presentation to the class. The report (which should be between five and seven typed, double-spaced pages) must include: (1) a description of the event, including its primary impacts and the various agencies and organizations involved in the response effort; and (2) identify at least five key lessons learned from the event (Make sure that the five lessons learned that you identify are specific to that event and are not seen across all or most disaster events). A printed copy of your report is due November 27 at the beginning of class. In addition, you will have to turn in an electronic copy through blackboard for a plagiarism check before the beginning of the class period on November 27. Each student will give a presentation on their paper starting in the second half of class on November 27 and continuing in class on December 4.

The following disasters cannot be used as a topic for your case studies:

Hurricane Katrina Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy

Hurricane Matthew West, Texas Fertilizer Explosion

9/11 Oklahoma City Bombing

Moore Tornado Haiti Earthquake

Hurricane Andrew Indian Ocean Tsunami

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, or Maria 2011 Japan Earthquake/Tsunami/Radiological Event

You paper must following the following parameters:

· 12- point font (Arial or Times New Roman)

· 1 inch margins

· You must have at least 5 sources cited in your paper

· APA citation style

· Use in-text citations and a bibliography at the end of your paper (bibliography is not included in your overall page limit)

· Purdue Owl is a good resource for APA citation style

This is an academic paper. While you are certainly allowed to include some first-hand knowledge if you experienced the event, make sure that you are citing sources when you answer the questions for the assignment.
