IHP 610 Module Eight Activity Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

The nature of a disaster determines the response and future preparedness. The geographic scope, number of populations affected, and uniqueness of the threat may present unique dif�culties

in disaster preparedness and emergency management. Preparing for and addressing emergencies effectively is a joint responsibility of all the stakeholders. On the basis of their capabilities,

responsibilities, and priorities, each stakeholder plays a role in responding to the emergency, which contributes to the overall response.

Before you begin working on the assignment, review the module learning resources on Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy. Use the module resource for either of these hurricanes to complete this

interagency recovery coordination assignment.

In this assignment, you will analyze the interagency recovery coordination for either Hurricane Katrina or Sandy. This will help you to understand the magnitude of the emergency, the

involvement of stakeholders, challenges with the emergency planning, effectiveness of the plan, and areas for improvement. On the basis of your analysis, you will write an assessment

summarizing the agency or agencies’ involvement in the disaster response efforts and make recommendations for future improvement to the federal agency. By being able to explain how

federal agencies address stakeholder needs during an emergency, including how competing priorities between federal and state agencies impact local-level stakeholders and how stakeholders

in�uence disaster recovery and preparedness plans, you will be even more prepared to successfully complete Project Two.

Prompt

Choose and analyze the interagency recovery coordination for either Hurricane Katrina or Sandy provided in the module resources. Then, submit a document containing both an assessment

report and a recommendation letter to the head of the federal agency involved in the disaster recovery.

You must cite at least three additional outside sources to support your assessment and recommendations. You may not use any of the module resources to support your claims (with the

exception of the reading you chose from the module resources). For additional help with completing this assignment, refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing – Graduate item in the Start

Here module. You may also use the Online Writing Center, located in the Academic Support module.

1. Background of Disaster or Emergency: Brie�y describe the background of the selected disaster or emergency case study from the healthcare perspective.

2. Role of Federal Response Agencies: Analyze the role of the federal response agency in emergency or disaster management from the selected case study. Consider the following questions
