EDMG320 Week 8 Assignment #3

EDMG 320 Week 8 - Written Assignment #3

Instructions

Having read the material for weeks seven and eight as indicated in the Course Syllabus, along with the respective Weekly Course Lessons and the Weekly Course Announcement, write a clear and descriptive narrative that:

· Distinguishes between a 'technological' and a 'man-made' disaster and that examines the subtleties of both. There are clear differences between natural and technological disasters, but  how do technological and man-made disasters differ, if at all? If one perhaps more dependent on happenstance and or error – is the other perhaps more deliberate and causal by man himself?

· Is there really a difference?

· Does the difference matter?

· Extending in this line of thought,  do you believe that our first-responder community is as prepared for the eventuality of a 'technological' hazard in general, as they may be for the occurrence e of a 'natural' hazard?

· Are they as prepared for the potential eventuality of a 'man-made' hazard inspecific, as they may be for 'natural' and 'technological' hazards?

· Finally,  Examine the potential for a 'man-made' bio-terror attack. Do you believe we are prepared? Why or why not.

· Are there  mitigating and exacerbating conditions that would impact a nefarious bio-pathogenic release?

· Are there  protective action recommendations that might be enacted in response to a bio-terror attack? What are they?  Which would you specifically recommend? Why?

Research and investigation beyond those materials indicated in the course-ware will be required.

· Your assignment must be properly formatted and cited using APA (per the most recent edition of the APA manual).

· Your assignment must be a  minimum of  1,250 words,  not counting cover page and reference page material.  Your writing can be longer, but it cannot be under the minimum indicated word-count for credit.

· Do not simply list questions and respond – your work is intended to be a complete, integrative narrative that embodies an introduction a body within which you respond to the targeted questions and a summary and conclusion.
