Evaluate public health and community responses to disaster prevention and management.
Public health threats are addressed at various levels of authority, ranging from country, state/province, city/town, and individual facilities. Approaches used by each of these authorities varies, depending on the population, severity of disease, staffing of responders and professionals, and other logistical factors.
Research public health threats and accompanying prevention/management plans in the United States. You may choose to focus on a geographic region (state, town) or a facility (hospital, community center, etc.) Threats or disasters could include disease (COVID-19, Flu, etc.) or natural disasters (hurricanes, tornados, etc.) If you examine natural disasters, be sure to focus on the public health aspect (impacts on a person’s physical, mental, emotional health).
Discuss the following:
Share a link to the threat/disaster plan you reviewed.
List three (3) strengths of how the threat/disaster plan is structured
Provide three (3) questions you have after reviewing the plan. These will be personal/opinion questions, based on how you interpret the plan information. Your peers will conduct additional research and help answer these questions.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
