Hurricane Katrina Preparedness
The two major assignments in this course will combine to
produce an in-depth analysis of the preparedness,
communication, mitigation, response, and recovery
coordination among the various public safety and private sector
organizations involved in Hurricane Katrina. It will also
include a detailed assessment of the Incident Command System
(ICS) process used. These assignments give you an opportunity
to apply the concepts discussed in this course to a real-world
incident.
You will assess the emergency management process used during
Hurricane Katrina, and you will include your own thoughts and
ideas for improving the system. Your opinions and thoughts
must be supported by resources such as peer-reviewed journals,
books, or credible articles on government websites. Carefully
evaluate your sources of information.
This first major assignment requires you to assess the actions
and policies at work prior to and following Hurricane Katrina’s
landfall. This assignment should total 6–8 pages of text and
cover the following points:
Background
Identify the agencies responsible for emergency preparedness
and response.
Describe (don’t just identify, but describe) the area impacted by
Katrina.
Assume your reader does not know about this incident, and
provide the background necessary for a reader to understand
the analysis that will follow.
Definitions
Define key terms that will be important to the understanding of
your analysis. Demonstrate your understanding of terms such as
hurricane, levee, and storm surge.
Hurricane Katrina
Describe the storm, specifically.
What made this storm so special?
Pre-existing vulnerabilities in Louisiana. Many believe that the
damage from Katrina would not have been so severe had the
local areas been better prepared.
Assess the state of readiness prior to Katrina’s landfall and
discuss any particular vulnerabilities.
Describe the ICS process
Include information pertaining to the elements of preparedness,
communication, mitigation, response, and recovery
coordination among the various public safety and private sector
organizations specifically involved in Hurricane Katrina.
Be sure to support any opinion statements or evaluations with
well-documented facts.
