Read through the emergency disasters below. Select one of these scenarios and then complete the following steps:

Imagine you are the director of FEMA using NIMS when this disaster occurs.
Develop a PSA (using either Screencast or video) that informs the population of what will be done to resolve the issue. Address these elements in your video:
Describe the nature of the situation.
Explain what FEMA and others are doing to mitigate the situation.
Explain what people need to do to stay safe and/or to get help in order to reduce panic.
Your vocal tone should be one that is meant to reduce panic and provide a solid explanation of the above elements.
Copy and paste the URL to your video or screencast within your discussion forum response. If you are unable to create a YouTube video for this discussion, you may use a screencast program.
However, you do not need to develop a PowerPoint presentation. This discussion is meant to assess your communication abilities, therefore, the audio portion of the video and/or screencast is essential.
If you elect to use the screencast option, you may simply use a picture of yourself reporting the above information in lieu of a PowerPoint.
