Do you feel rights are being protected or infringed upon by such laws? Explain your viewpoint.
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.
Unit VII Case Study
As we have seen in this course, with each disaster, lessons are learned and better preparation and response practices are often implemented. Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy both provided such outcomes.
For this assignment, you will choose two of the five National Planning Frameworks that relate to an emergency services function or recovery support function.
You will conduct research to identify examples where the frameworks were implemented for either Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Sandy.
For each of your two chosen frameworks, you will explain how state and federal public health laws interacted and whether they succeeded or failed in their implementations during that particular disaster.
Your case study should present an insightful, thorough analysis and demonstration of course concepts, lessons learned, and laws affected. Provide strong arguments and evidence to support your analysis.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
