TJU Analyzing Module 1 Content and Emergency Management Trends Discussion

Integrating the knowledge you have gained during this week: (individual paragraph answers on a page are acceptable for this assignment)

1- After reviewing all the content in Module 1, how do you think it all relates to trends you see in emergency management?

2- For example, more people are increasingly affected by natural disasters. While it’s true that more construction now occurs in hazardous places (e.g. picturesque cliffs, mountain slopes, floodplains, coastal areas, along seismic faults, etc.), how does that fit into the bigger picture of emergency management policy and practice?

3- How are the things that you do every day and take for granted involved in emergency management processes?

4- What do you think were some lessons learned from the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 ?

5- What do you think were some lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina in 2005?

6- What might some emergency management plans now include because of such events?
