Purpose
Define the purpose of the paper for the reader. Refer to the task scenario for this. A paragraph consists of at least four (4) complete sentences.
Background
The background information that you developed in the Units 1 and 2 Individual Projects should be utilized for this deliverable. Be sure to address and add information on the fifteen (15) National Planning Scenarios (NOTE: The Planning Scenario document should be cited here and listed in the works cited and References list).
Risk Analysis: County Courthouse (or Administration Building)
Briefly discuss the Critical Infrastructure asset being addressed (i.e. the County Courthouse or Administration Building). Describe the building for the reader: age, size, construction, offices, number of people, security, etc.
Choice of National Planning Scenario
Describe for the reader why this scenario was chosen as the initial risk assessment scenario for a risk assessment.
Application of Risk and Analysis
Explain the FEMA Risk Matrix and define why the analysis of each element in columns 5 – 11 have been marked as either Low (L), Medium (M), or High (H). This is the crux of the assignment and why you are conducting the risk analysis and assessment. This leads to next page (be careful not to delete the Section Break below) which is the actual Risk Matrix. Pick one asset (the County Court House or Administrative Building) and one Planning Scenario. You may delete the remaining rows.

Summary and Recommendations
Briefly summarize the key points that have been developed within the paper. (Public, 2010). Add recommendations in this section as a subparagraph if required by the tasking. Do so by adding a sub-paragraph level (meaning heading 2 under styles).
Note: a heading level entry must be followed by at least two (2) full lines of text. If this is not possible prior to an automatic page break then force a page break by using the Insert page break command.
Summary.
Summarize key points and findings of the analysis. A very key point in writing: in qualitative analysis papers, such as in this course, only summaries can be provided. As this is NOT a quantitative analysis DO NOT use the term Conclusions as a paragraph heading.
Recommendations.
Be specific in your recommendations. Include courses of action (COA), steps, procedures to be taken, etc.
