Prepare an essay on the types of hazards for which your community is most vulnerable. Investigate your community’s comprehensive plan, if any, to learn whether the natural hazards your community is most susceptible to are discussed in the comprehensive plan and whether steps are taken in the plan to deal with that hazard. Similarly, look at the website of your state’s emergency management agency to learn whether it sorts out the types of hazards for which your state is most vulnerable.

Depending on what you learn about your community and state recognition of the most common hazards, comment on how you would plan, alert residents to the greatest areas of vulnerability, and other actions you find necessary.
