Communication with the public is a key element of disaster response. In this assignment, imagine you are a new member of a public safety team in the municipal government and you’ve been tasked with preparing a briefing presentation to introduce emergency management to the community.

• How is emergency management defined?
• What are the major theories of emergency management?
• What is the history of emergency management?
• Why is emergency management important for the community?

Include speaker notes, a cover slide, an introduction slide that highlights the presentation’s major points, a conclusion slide that recaps the main points, and a reference slide.
