Family Disaster Plan Scenario

This section is a brief introduction of your paper that includes the background of the issue being discussed and what the reader can expect to learn and read in the paper. (Brief overview of the dangers of a tornado and preparation for a tornado citing outside resources.) Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The type is left-justified only—that means the left margin is straight, but the right margin is ragged. Each paragraph is indented five spaces. It is best to use the tab key to indent. The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. One space is used after punctuation at the end of sentences. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman 12 point

How would you prepare for the following situation?

(Scenario) At this moment, you are sitting at home working on your WCU class. Suddenly, the National Weather Bureau sends an alert across your cell phone—a tornado is headed your way. You have 15 minutes before touchdown in your neighborhood. What is your plan?

How prepared are you in the event of a disaster?

Describe your level of disaster preparedness using specific examples. Example: “I am more prepared for a water-related disaster than a fire-related disaster even though I live in a highly secluded, forested area. I have a boat as transportation in the event of flooding, but I do not have rain barrels or fire barrier supplies on hand.”

Reflection/Conclusion

Reflect on how prepared you were before this class and compare it with how prepared you are now. Do you plan to take any additional training or certification courses? Have you shared your knowledge with friends and family? This is a summary of your paper and learning experience from this course.
