This document outlines 8 discussion forums for a course on emergency management. Each forum poses a question or assignment for students to address. The forums cover topics such as defining disasters, evaluating sources of disaster research, addressing misconceptions about disaster response, analyzing media reporting on disasters, examining organizational response issues, assessing case studies of disaster response, comparing cultural perspectives across case studies, and proposing ideas for future disaster response research. Students are instructed to relate their discussion of each topic to scriptural and biblical principles as well as personal experience.
