This assignment requires the student to interview a city official (policeman, city administrator, mayor, ambulance director, or city manager) from your community.
Develop and implement ten interview questions to evaluate your community’s
Emergency Disaster Plan (Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan).
Evaluate the Disaster Plan/Policy for completeness and clarity versus ambiguity.
Student will develop a 4-5-page paper (APA format, minimum 5 references) that critiques the selected community disaster plan/policy. In the paper, the students will answer the following:
List interview questions and summarize in 1-2 paragraphs the challenges of the interview, interview question responses, and any positive outcomes from the interview experience.
Identify 3 areas for improvement/clarification in the policy and provide specific recommendations. If the policy is considered strong, and weaknesses are not observed, students should instead identify 3 areas of strength and provide rationale.
Consider the usefulness and practicality of the disaster plan/policy that was
evaluated. Does the policy meet the intentions of the legislation regarding disaster/emergency preparedness policies? Why or why not?
An introduction and conclusion to the paper is required.
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.
