Planning is an important task for any manager, and it is imperative for an emergency manager because lives rely on their decisions. Having a plan also allows an emergency manager to perform very quickly when the time comes. The purpose of this assignment is for you to think critically about the warning, evacuations, sheltering, and improvisations that an emergency manager must address in the response and recovery following a disaster.

Select a major disaster that has occurred within the last 10 years. NO KATRINA You may use the event you selected in past units or choose something new. However, you may NOT use the same disaster(s) that were used as examples in the Unit IV Lesson. If you use the same disaster as you selected from a past unit, you must review at least one NEW/additional article. Use at least one scholarly article that is housed in the online library. Write a bullet-pointed list to fill two pages, detailing how disaster warnings, evacuations, and/or sheltering were developed and planned for use in response to the disaster.

Also, briefly address examples where improvising in these areas was necessary. Use headings (e.g., Warning, Evacuations, Sheltering, and Improvisation), and also bullet points under each providing specific and detailed examples.

To recap, include each of the following within your submission:
• four headings: (Warning, Evacuations, Sheltering, and Improvisations)
• a list of bullet points under each heading
• a minimum of two pages worth of bullet points (total)
