Week 7: Emergency Simulation Assignment

2 page AMA format-cite all sources

Using the link below, participate in the online public health simulation of an emergency to integrate the knowledge you gained from this course in responding to a hypothetical emergency.   

· Dirty Bomb! After the Blast – A Public Health Simulation: https://cpheo1.sph.umn.edu/dbomb/index.asp

In the simulation, you worked as a public health professional and made decisions relating to communications, coordination, and response.  In the assignment,

· Briefly describe your actions in the simulation relating to communications, coordination, and response.

· Consider how these same areas were handled during Hurricane Katrina as described in this week’s reading: Case Study Response to Katrina (attached)

· Identify one area where you feel you were able to appropriately communicate, coordinate, or respond in this simulation and contrast your actions to those taken by personnel in Hurricane Katrina in the same area.

Provide your responses and the last screen as appropriate to the simulation to the Week 7 Assignment.
