APA style paper
Choose one of the 3 scenarios listed below and write 10 pages that briefly describes the incident.
You may select one of the topics for your paper:
- A
community of approximately 10,000 has been exposed to an unknown virus.
It appears to be spread by contact. At present, only a small portion of
the population is affected. Government leaders and health officials are
contemplating community containment. Discuss how you, as the logistic
chief, would supply and support emergency operations, what agencies
would you seek support from, and establish points of distribution.
- Severe
storms have ravaged your rural community of 10,000. Fortunately, there
are few deaths but many are displaced. Being rural, access to the
community is limited and made worse by the storms. Discuss your
immediate actions post-incident, and present a plan for short term
sustainment of operations and support to population. If a logistics
pre-plan would be beneficial, include that in your discussion.
- Your
rural community of 10,000 main employer- a large agricultural chemical
processing plant- is struck by a large fire. Due to the nature of the
chemicals, the fire may last for days. Emergency Management has decided
to tell citizens to shelter in place versus to evacuate. The incident
has drawn responders from a large area, and most arrive ill equipped for
a sustained operation. Further complicating the issue is water runoff
from fire suppression into the town’s only source of water. Discuss how
you would support both the citizens and the providers while being aware
of sheltering, along with limited movement because of the fire. Do not
be concerned about the potential exposure- focus on the logistic
support.
