UNIT 7 DISCUSSION AND ESSAY

Week VII Discussion

Select a particular kind of natural or man-made emergency. Examples might include: avian flu outbreak, suspicion of an anthrax attack, hurricane, or terrorist attack. Come up with a scenario in which this emergency might occur and think through who would be in charge of that incident, how the federal, state, and local resources would be coordinated, the ways in which state and local agencies and officials would need to work together, and other significant issues and questions that might come into play when managing this emergency.
