MHE509 Session Long Project
Module 1 – SLP
EMERGENCY PLANNING AND METHODOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION
Partnerships and the Emergency Response Plan
The Session Long Project for this course is to examine partnerships of five essential sectors to an effective Emergency Response Plan (ERP)—using the National Response Framework (NRF) as a guide.
These partnerships are:
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and volunteer partnerships
Military partnerships: humanitarian/support role
Local, state, and federal partnerships
Private sector partnerships
Local fire department/law enforcement partnerships
Respond to the following:
A.The NRF contains guidelines for NGO and volunteer involvement in the aftermath of a disaster. An effective ERP should have language addressing their involvement locally.
locate the appropriate NRF Annex for the American Red Cross. Choose two functions and relate them to an effective ERP. In other words, how and what would be the functions of the Red Cross according to an ideal Emergency Response Plan? Cite your sources by location, title, and page number.
B.NGOs and Ethical Decision-Making. Managers and responders must make moral and critical decisions in a crisis environment.
on your Background reading, locate the two sources concerning ethics, especially the five approaches to making ethical decisions. From the five, focus on one that you believe is primary and elaborate on your choice.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Length: This SLP should be 4-6 pages, not counting the title page and references.
References: At least two references should be included from academic sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles). Required readings are included. Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Use your own words and build on the ideas of others. When material is copied verbatim from external sources, it MUST be enclosed in quotes. The references should be cited within the text and listed at the end of the assignment in the References section (preferably in APA format).
Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to the question.
Grammar and Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor errors, assignments are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar and spelling impact clarity.
