Post impact disaster management major report
Task I want you to use the framework we have given you to critically analyse the management of the postimpact phase of your selected event and the hypothetical recurrence of that event today and report on those things that were done well and those things that could have been improved. If we learn from history we will be better able to manage similar events in the future. The framework below is a suggested layout for this assignment with marking weightings included. A copy of the assignment marking sheet that will be used for this assignment is attached at the end of this assignment guide. Although you have studied a number of areas of emergency management pertinent to the impact and postimpact phase of emergency/ disaster operations management in your studies, in this assignment we only require you to critically analyse two of the postimpact areas (Part A) and two of the Hypothetical areas (Part B). Introduction (10%) Aim Objectives Authority Scope Relevant history Part A Post Impact Phase Analysis (30%) Critically analyse two (2) of the following PLUS the Conclusions and Recommendations: Search and rescue 10% Triage and casualty care 10% Critical incident stress management 10% Disaster victim identification and coronial inquiry 10% Community services 10% Recovery and restoration 10% Conclusions and recommendations 10% Part B Hypothetical Assessment (30%) Critically analyse two (2) of the following PLUS the Conclusions and Recommendations: Warning systems How would it function now compared to then? 10% Legislation and regulation How effective is the legislation and regulations now compared to then? 10% People What people would be affected today compared with when the event originally occurred? What would the effects be on people? 10% Infrastructure What would be the damage and effect on infrastructure today compared to when the event originally occurred? 10% Buildings What are the expected effects on buildings etc. today compared with when the event occurred? 10% Emergency services What emergency services would be involved today? What would their roles and functions be today? What are their capabilities today compared with then? 10% Cost What is the estimated cost of the event should it occur today compared with when it originally occurred? 10% Conclusions and recommendations. 10% Part C Critical Self Assessment (20%) Critically analyse and reflect on your performance during the subject and in production of your report. In this self assessment some of the questions you may wish to consider are: • What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in locating/accessing data for your report? • If you had any difficulties, how did you overcome them? • What would you do differently next time? Rationale This assignment follows on from your studies in EMG206. The assignment completes your study of emergency operations management and focuses on the postimpact phase of your selected emergency event, but also includes a hypothetical assessment of your chosen event as if it occurred today. Your assignment comprises three parts: • Part A investigate the postimpact phase of your selected event and identify strengths and…
