After reading this week's lecture, discuss the meaning of " progressive emergency management ” and what it means to promote it.  During your exploration of this subject discuss three of the schools of thought (pp. 8-12) emergency managers can use to reduce the frequency and severity of disasters. Please see attached file EMA 305 lecture notes. Students will be required to write 2 pgs to the discussion question. You will not be marked on your opinion but on your ability to present a valid argument and to manage constructive discussion with your cohort while integrating the material being discussed in the course. 

Remember, I expect you to borrow from the Learning Resources, BUT you MUST provide the appropriate citation. I will not accept work from you that borrows ideas and direct quotes without proper citation. For example, when you paraphrase an author's idea(s), or briefly quote their work you should immediately follow the paraphrase or quote with an in-text citation, for example: (Bullock, Haddow and Coppola, 2016, p. 146). The corresponding Reference section should note:

Bullock, J., Haddow, G., & Coppola, D. (2016). Introduction to homeland security: principles of all-hazards risk

         management (5th ed.). Waltham, MA: Elsevier.

Remember, an organization can be an author. For example, a Reference section might contain the following entry:

Department of Homeland Security (2013). National Mitigation Framework. Retrieved
