Unit 1 Assignment

For this assignment, you will create a 15-20 slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation to analyze the three routinely used risk assessment methods below:

1. Exercises, scenarios, and game theory — Terrorism Risk Assessment and Management (TRAM)

2. Event-tree model — Biological Threat Risk Assessment (BTRA)

3. Community Preparedness - Thread and Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)

The analysis should determine threat, vulnerability, and consequence assessment validity and reliability. It should also identify at least three strengths and three weaknesses for each methodology. The criteria for assessing the methodologies is in the Review of the Department of Homeland Security’s Approach to Risk Analysis.

Note: This assignment will require outside research. Use at least two credible sources in addition to the assigned textbook/reading material and discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used.

You may consult the Library, the internet, the textbook, other course material, and any other outside resources in supporting your task, using proper citations in APA style.

PowerPoint Formatting

The PowerPoint presentation should have the following characteristics.

· Contains a title and references slide.

· Bullets for your main points.

· Designed with a live audience in mind in order to inform your viewers about the topic.

· Must include speaker notes below the slides to fully explain what is being discussed in the slide bullet points as though you are presenting to an audience.

· Research from at least two reliable outside sources in addition to the assigned textbook/reading to support the main message.

· Incorporate information from course readings, the course materials, and other library sources to support your discussion. Properly cite all sources of information by including in-text citations and a list of references.

· Research and visuals are cited in APA citation format, both in-text and on a References slide. You need to quote material taken directly from a source.

· Avoid using images, graphics, or logos that are copyrighted.

· The same standards for documenting sources that apply to an essay, apply to a presentation. Refer to the APA Style® Central website for a digital library of APA Style quick guides and tutorials to refine your writing. You can access this site under Academic Tools.
