Assignment:

Local Research

Conduct research to obtain information from your local 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 nearby 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 paper at least two pages in length that discusses actions you would take to develop a plan of resilience. Make sure to include the following, using the information you researched above:

Identify your community, the vulnerabilities, as well as the location where vulnerable populations reside.
Discuss future mitigation and preparedness actions you would take to develop a disaster resilient community.
Examine the role of disaster resilience in emergency planning in this community.
Analyze the future of risk management within this community.
Discuss mitigation and preparedness actions that can be taken in this community.

Begin your assignment with an introduction. You must cite at least two outside resources
