Problem: Review of Hurricane Katrina

This problem continues our review of Hurricane Katrina. Based upon the 4 key elements in an emergency response and recovery to a specific incident, write a 3 to 5 pages paper, critiquing the response of each responder during Katrina. Highlight the mistakes each responder made, and what you would do today to ensure those problems would not reoccur.

The 4 key elements to an emergency response and recovery include:

• Resources from state and federal agencies
• First responders
• Secondary emergency services

A. In your paper, evaluate the effectiveness of the 4 key elements in the emergency response and recovery to Katrina, and recommend alternative actions that may have resulted in a different outcome, either positively or negatively, based upon these response principles.

B. For information on the Katrina responders, review the "Executive Summary and Investigation Overview" (pp. 1-26) in the Katrina report, and conduct research on the internet.
