Assignment:
In this role-play, you will simulate the political realities of a Department of Homeland Security or FEMA call for projects. You will be able to explore this simulation from the perspective of a wide variety of projects from different parts of the country.
Some projects will deal with recovery from major events, some will deal with mitigation from future events, and others will deal with preparedness issues. The issue comes down to risk management, decision-making, political pressures, and resource allocation. Some projects will be very specific, while others will be less clear and difficult to define.
In the first part of the discussion, you will assume the role of a state-level emergency planner who is asking for federal funding to address a technological, terrorist, or natural hazard.
The assumption is that your state has no funding to address this hazard, but the Department of Homeland Security has requested states submit projects for review

Outline the hazard and your proposal.
