Topic 1:
Mitigation, Preparedness, and Resilient Communities
What is the difference between mitigation and preparedness? How does mitigation play a role in the development of resilient communities? Why is this important to community sustainment? Provide examples of where this has occurred.
Topic 2:
Natural and Technological Disasters
Both natural and man-made hazards can lead to disasters. Depending on your geographic location you may have a high risk/frequency of vulnerability to such disasters. Identify specific natural and or man-made hazards that you are most vulnerable to in your community, as well as the most recent significant event that was the result of a natural/man-made hazard. Was your community prepared? Why, or why not? Outside of your community, has a technological disaster resulted from a natural disaster?
