Topic: It was 1989, a beautiful fall day in San Francisco. The World Series was just getting underway in Candlestick Park; and then, the ground began to shake!
Across the city, a banquet was just getting started at the culinary arts school. As the ground shook and buildings swayed, guests, students, and staff evacuated the building as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, in the dining room, a large ornate crystal chandelier was loosened from the ceiling and came crashing down, spraying fragments of glass across the area, including the buffet tables that were loaded with food. When the tremors stopped, the managers in charge of the food service were faced with immediate decisions concerning how to proceed after this catastrophic event. Because it was evening, the keys for supplies kept for emergencies were not available.
Question 1: Make a list of the problems faced in this emergency and decide what should be done first, second, and so forth.
Question 2: What community resources are needed to cope with this disaster?
Question 3: How would you manage the food without electricity and a potable water supply?
