Overview

The nature of a disaster determines the response and future preparedness. The geographic scope, number of popula!ons

affected, and uniqueness of the threat may present unique difficul!es in disaster preparedness and emergency management.

Preparing for and addressing emergencies effec!vely is a joint responsibility of all the stakeholders. On the basis of their

capabili!es, responsibili!es, and priori!es, each stakeholder plays a role in responding to the emergency, which contributes to

the overall response.

Before you begin working on the assignment, review the module learning resources. Use the module resources to choose one

interagency recovery coordina!on case study, which you will use to complete this assignment.

In this assignment, you will analyze your selected case study to understand the magnitude of the emergency, the involvement

of stakeholders, challenges with the emergency planning, effec!veness of the plan, and areas for improvement. On the basis

of your analysis, you will write an assessment summarizing the agency or agencies’ involvement in the disaster response

efforts and make recommenda!ons for future improvement to the federal agency. By being able to explain how federal

agencies address stakeholder needs during an emergency, including how compe!ng priori!es between federal and state

agencies impact local-level stakeholders and how stakeholders influence disaster recovery and preparedness plans, you will

be even more prepared to successfully complete Project Two.

Prompt

Choose and analyze one interagency recovery coordina!on case study provided in the module resources. Then, submit a

document containing both an assessment report and a recommenda!on le$er to the head of the federal agency involved in

the disaster recovery.

You must cite at least three addi!onal outside sources to support your assessment and recommenda!ons. You may not use

any of the module resources to support your claims (with the excep!on of the case study you chose from the module

resources). For addi!onal help with comple!ng this assignment, refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing – Graduate item

in the Start Here module. You may also use the Online Wri!ng Center, located in the Academic Support module.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Background of Disaster or Emergency: Briefly describe the background of the selected disaster or emergency case

study from the healthcare perspec!ve.

2. Role of Federal Response Agencies: Analyze the role of the federal response agency in emergency or disaster

management from the selected case study. Consider the following ques!ons in your response:

A. How does the federal agency’s involvement impact the overall emergency response management in the

chosen case study?

B. How did coordina!on between the federal agency and other stakeholders posi!vely and/or nega!vely impact

the emergency response management?

3. Stakeholders’ Influence: Analyze the influence of stakeholders on the emergency preparedness policies. Consider the

following ques!ons in your response:

A. Who among the stakeholders led and/or influenced the emergency response management in the selected case

study?

B. Who (federal, state, or local agencies), according to you, has a more significant impact on the emergency

preparedness policies, and why?

4. Impact of Stakeholders’ Priori!es: Describe the impact of stakeholders’ priori!es on the effec!veness of emergency

response management. Consider the following ques!ons in your response:

A. How do the priori!es of federal and state agencies impact emergency response management?

B. Which factors do federal and state agencies consider when se%ng up the priori!es for emergency response

management?

5. Summary of Analysis: Summarize your analysis of the case study, including what was effec!ve and what was

ineffec!ve in emergency response management. Consider the following ques!ons in your response:

A. Which three response efforts do you consider effec!ve, and why?

B. Which three response efforts do you consider ineffec!ve, and why?

C. Which of the stakeholders contributed more effec!vely than others, and why?

6. Recommenda!ons: Recommend a minimum of two strategic improvement sugges!ons to the federal agencies about

emergency response management. Consider the following ques!on in your response:

A. How will your sugges!ons help underserved/vulnerable popula!ons?
