National Preparedness: FEMA Has Taken Steps to Strengthen Grant Management, but Challenges Remain in Assessing Capabilities
Reflect: 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, 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 (see DHS Announces Funding Opportunity for Fiscal Year 2019 Preparedness Grants.
