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 cite 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. You will respond to two classmates who selected a different scenario than the one you picked.  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: You are an emergency manager living near the New Madrid fault. An earthquake has just occurred. How would this hazard affect damage assessment? Suppose your community was affected by flooding. How does this impact damage assessment? Do other hazards create different concerns for damage assessment teams? Why?

· Scenario 2: A flash flood has destroyed many buildings in a rural area and left animal carcasses strewn about the area. The area is well known for its pristine waters and beautiful scenery. What concerns do you have as the emergency manager for this area? How can you ensure debris management is performed successfully?

· Scenario 3: You are the local emergency manager for a community in Idaho that was adversely affected by landslide. Many homes sustained minor damage, and there is a great deal of vegetative debris as a result also. What scams might be employed by contractors, and how can you prevent them?

· Scenario 4: You are the local emergency manager for a community that was devastated by a major tornado. You need to convince officials to declare your jurisdiction a disaster area. What types of facts do you present them with?
