Homework
Having read the material for weeks seven and eight as indicated in the Course Syllabus, along with the respective Weekly Course Lessons and the Weekly Course Announcement, write a clear and descriptive narrative that:
A. Distinguishes between a 'technological' and a 'man-made' disaster and that examines the subtleties of both. There are clear differences between natural and technological disasters, but how do technological and man-made disasters differ, if at all? If one perhaps more dependent on happenstance and or error - is the other perhaps more deliberate and causal by man himself?
a. Is there really a difference?
b. Does the difference matter?
B. Extending in this line of thought, do you believe that our first-responder community is as prepared for the eventuality of a 'technological' hazard in general, as they may be for the occurrence e of a 'natural' hazard?
C. Are they as prepared for the potential eventuality of a 'man-made' hazard in specific, as they may be for 'natural' and 'technological' hazards?
D. Finally, Examine the potential for a 'man-made' bio-terror attack. Do you believe we are prepared? Why or why not.
a. Are there mitigating and exacerbating conditions that would impact a nefarious bio-pathogenic release?
b. Are there protective action recommendations that might be enacted in response to a bio-terror attack? What are they? Which would you specifically recommend? Why?
