The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by  June 17, 2020 at 11:59pm.

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

Types of Hazards, Information, Evacuation

In your opinion, why does the ODP focus its preparedness efforts on terrorism? Should preparedness activities funded by the ODP be for all hazards? Why or why not?

Other than the media and risk managers, where do you get your information about hazards, risks, and disasters? How do you determine the credibility of the information you receive?

Why is evacuation planning so difficult? Consider communication and community response. What kinds of things can go wrong during an evacuation? What do you think can be done to minimize these potential setbacks?

Cite any sources using APA format on a separate page. Let’s learn how to cite sources using APA guidelines.
