Research and select a medium$-$sized city $(100,000-500,000$ people$)$ in the United States, other than Florida. Then, write a $2-3-$page paper, double$-$spaced, describing that city $($geographic location, population size, available resources, etc.$).$ These characteristics will determine what risks, hazards, concepts, and elements will be included in your Emergency Plan.

Additionally, locate the emergency plan in place for that city. As this is a required element of the assignment, make sure that you can identify your selected city's emergency plan before writing your essay. You will submit the jurisdiction essay, along with the located emergency plan, via the submission links provided in Canvas and the Discussion Forum for Module One.

In$-$text citations and a reference list should be included in this assignment. A minimum of three source citations is required. Support your paraphrased statements and direct quotes with source citations.
