Unit VII – Local Mitigation Planning
10788Local Research
Conduct research to obtain information from your local (MCKINNEY, TEXAS) planning department, community affairs, housing agency, or from
the U.S. Census, and identify where low-income or minority populations live in your community (or a large city in your state if
you are unable to find specific data on your local community). Now, identify the hazards that may be present there. Consider
the following hazards:
flood zones,
hazardous materials,
transportation routes,
common local disasters, and
any other important data.
Are minority populations living in areas that are more vulnerable to hazards than other sectors of the community? If so, what
might you do in the future as an emergency manager to plan for future elements of disaster resilience to safeguard all
members of your community?
Develop a two- to four-page paper (title page and references page do not count toward meeting the minimum page
requirement) that discusses actions you would take to develop a plan of resilience. Make sure to follow this format using the
information you researched above.
1. Identify your community, the vulnerabilities, and the location where vulnerable populations reside.
2. Discuss future mitigation and preparedness actions you would take to develop a disaster-resilient community.
You must cite at least two outside resources (beyond your textbook) to help support the ideas that you include.
