Listed below are topic(s) I would like for each of you to discuss throughout the week. Refer to the textbook, weekly materials, and/or the GMC library when researching the topics for this Discussion Forum.  Put your writing into your own words, do not copy directly from the source. If you incorporate external resources in your posts be sure to them properly.  Lastly, review how to paraphrase and quote resources before you begin posting.

· Please select one of the scenarios to answer. You should provide a well thought out response to how you would handle the situation. The answer to this scenario will be the basis for part of your final project.  Once this forum is completed, you will be able to take your response from here and edit it to include any suggested changes or additions to your "action plan" to complete your final project. 

· Scenario 1: On Saturday, September 13, a tropical depression developed in the Atlantic Ocean - nearly 2,000 miles away from the southeastern shores of the United States. Meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center assert that it is far too early to determine the path of this weather system. You know that it will be vital to get information to the public so they can respond effectively. What steps do you take to handle the media? How will you use the media after the hurricane makes landfall?

· Scenario 2: A school has just burnt down in your community. The school district has found a temporary location to hold classes. They need desks and other school supplies. You have been assigned to relay these needs to the media. What concerns do you have? How can you overcome them?

· Scenario 3: You are the emergency manager for a town that just suffered an industrial explosion. The event killed less than 60 people and destroyed many homes and businesses. People are suffering from PTSD and there is a great deal of debris in the roads. What are some of your immediate needs and what skills are you looking for in volunteers?

· Scenario 4: A volcano has erupted in Alaska. It has left a great deal of mud and ash on roads. People in the continental United States are sending you canned food, brooms, gloves, lawn mowers, and heavy equipment. Volunteers have arrived to help. What of these items are useful to you? How can you avoid getting unwanted items? Can the volunteers help you? How would you put them to work?
