Journal
Consider a hazard that presents a risk in your own community. Describe an activity that you perform in your daily activity that either prevents, protects, or mitigates this risk. Explain your personal motivation for performing this activity (i.e., whether you are bound legally or by your own personal code).
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.
Unit I Essay
For this assignment, you will focus on how the National Response Framework (NRF) and the U.S. National Planning Frameworks direct the nation’s response to incidents and disasters, specifically focusing on Hurricane Matthew.
Review the unit’s reading on the preparedness and response efforts to Hurricane Matthew in 2016, and write an analysis of the federal response. Your case study should address, at a minimum, the following questions.
• Discuss how the National Planning Frameworks core capabilities and guiding principles applied to the Hurricane Matthew response.
• How did the federal government prepare in advance for the landfall of Hurricane Matthew under the National Response Framework (NRF)?
• How did communities apply the community approach to prepare and respond to Hurricane Matthew?
• In your opinion, was the National Preparedness Goal achieved?
Your submission should be a minimum of three pages, not including the title and reference pages. You should support your analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You may use the two sources listed above as a basis for your analysis, but you must conduct additional research and use at least two additional sources. Your case study and all sources used should be formatted in APA style.
