ACTION: This is an essay based exam. You will be adjudicated against the rubric found in the syllabus. In order to achieve an A, not only must students cite materials, but edit their document for grammar and clarity. Additionally, providing content is not enough; analysis and your rationale are required. Citation should be either footnote/endnote format or a standard citation method (e.g. MLA, Chicago, etc.) You must cite readings if you derive a concept from the coursework. Limit your use of external sources. USE LECTURE CITATIONS SPARINGLY. 4. International EM Disaster Risk Reduction—the activity conducted by international emergency managers to mitigate hazards—can be practiced differently in countries around the world depending on several factors. International Emergency Management also seems to behave along fairly predictable patterns of either “EM principles” or failures in leadership. For this question: In the UN polices and international agreements discussed in lecture, what economic activity is really inseparable from disaster risk reduction, and why? Compare and contrast the international examples in the readings or cases we observed this semester in lecture. How did EM practices in those places differ from FEMA and US doctrine? How are they aligned? Lastly, make one recommendation for how the US could adopt an international idea from the readings in its Emergency Management policy?
