Question #1. Regarding your personal/family resilience, do you have emergency preparedness and resilience plans for your own family or household? For how long, and for what kinds of events or scenarios have you planned? Are you prepared for scenarios such as power outages lasting several days, the need to evacuate, pandemic diseases, or loss of your residence? How could you better prepare to be more resilient? How do households that have planned and prepared contribute to resilient communities? Question # 2. The Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 Version 2.0 (2010) discusses a variety of planning pitfalls that communities and organizations often face in planning and preparing for disasters. Please provide a comprehensive well-organized response to the following: • Choose a specific community, organization or type of organization you are familiar within your life, such as your employer, school, faith-based, or other nongovernmental organization (NGO) where you currently or might serve as a volunteer. • Describe various pitfalls that might be encountered in its disaster preparedness plans or planning processes. • A recent class lecture presented information on training and exercises, including their purposes and potential benefits. Below are some questions to consider for the specific community, organization or type of organization you chose: You don't have to respond to all of them, but please provide reasons for your answers. Your discussion should focus on a real organization • Does your organization conduct drills and training? For what particular kinds of disasters, crises, or critical incidents? Have you found the drills or training useful? • Are the drills always scheduled and announced in advance, or are there "surprise," no-notice drills and exercises? • Are there "injects" of new information or changes in the original scenario to challenge the participants? • Are there types of incidents for which there are currently no drills or training, but you think should be done? • After drills or training, are after-action or lessons learned reports prepared, or meetings held to evaluate the results and develop action or improvement plans? • What improvements would you recommend?  Question: 3 School or campus violence -- including horrific incidents at both K-12 schools like Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida as well as higher education institutions like Virginia Tech -- has plagued the United States in recent years, generating intense media coverage. It has also become an urgent homeland security issue. • Identify and discuss three causes for this growing problem of school/campus violence, and identify risk management or mitigation measures that seem to have worked, or which seem to have strong potential for preventing or reducing violence and saving lives. • Discuss how using risk assessment, impact analysis, and risk management can mitigate school/campus mass shootings and violence.
