Identification of the characteristics of the incident

Reference no: EM133665663

PRESENTATION

Early in the term, you will select a topic from the list of historical emergency management events which is available on the Moodle site (under the Poster Presentation section in the Assessments menu, available from week 1). You will produce a one-slide poster presentation with an easily-digestible summary of your findings. You may use PowerPoint's in-app notes function (which usually appears in the form of a text box at the bottom of the page) to add a small amount of additional content, eg. if there was anything that needed to be presented in shorter form on the poster but that would benefit from slightly more explanation. The main part of your submission must be the poster, and the poster should be able to stand mostly on its own.

Examples of poster presentation layouts and templates are available on Moodle.

Your presentation and notes should cover:
- A description of the events that occurred and what impact they had on people living nearby (or farther away, if applicable)
- An identification of the characteristics of the incident which posed danger (the hazards), and the ways in which they threatened people living nearby or farther away (the risks)
- An identification of specific factors in nearby or farther-away communities that made them vulnerable to risks related to the event
- A brief explanation relating some of the points you have identified to the prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery framework (PPRR) and your opinion on an action that could have been taken to enhance one or more parts of this framework.

Upload your poster presentation to the relevant section of the Moodle site by the end of Week 5.
This assessment is worth 40% of the overall grade for this unit.
