For this assignment, you will be required to research the different types of threats posed to the United States by domestic and international terrorist organizations. Some suggested topics that you might consider discussing in your paper include the different types of threats posed by domestic and international terrorist organizations, the measures required to guard against these different types of threats, or the role of a lone terrorist in a domestic versus an international terrorist threat. These are suggested topics to research and report in your paper. You may also incorporate any other topics that compare and contrast the threats posed by domestic and international terrorist groups.
The actual content of your research paper must be three pages in length, not counting the cover and reference pages or any Appendix or abstract sections. You are required to incorporate information from at least two scholarly resources in addition to your textbook. Your assignment must be formatted and cited per APA guidelines.
During Unit VIII, students will submit their final emergency plan. The final emergency plan will consist of three components: (1) Part I, which identifies the eight potential risk areas; (2) Part II, which identifies the impacted segment(s) and provides an overview of actions planned for each of the eight potential risk areas; and (3) Part III, which provides step-by-step actions to implement the plan in each of the eight areas. Students will have already completed and received feedback from their instructor for Parts I and II in previous units. For this reason, students will only need to make corrections and incorporate revisions suggested by the instructor in Parts I and II of the final emergency plan.
Part III of the final emergency plan must provide detailed descriptions of the actions that must be taken to implement each component of the plan. This section of the emergency plan should resemble the sample emergency plans that you located in Unit II of the course. 4 pages
While the level of detail required for each component of the plan may vary, it is anticipated that Part III of the final emergency plan should be six to eight pages in length. This should result in a final emergency plan (Parts I, II, and III) that is 14 - 20 pages in length, not counting the cover and reference pages. Please review the general guidelines for papers to obtain a description of other formatting requirements. Your final emergency plan must be formatted and cited per APA guidelines.
