Unit II Assignment

Interview

For this assignment, you are going to perform an interview of the emergency manager in the area in which you live that focuses on WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION (WMDs). What you will need to do is compile a list of at least 10 questions based on topics such as Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear as well as concepts and items that interest you as a possible emergency manager or disaster preparedness coordinator focusing on WMDs.

After you conduct the interview, you will create a report with the questions and subsequent answers. Include a reflective section with a focus on the WMDs; what you knew about bioterrorism, WMDs, and nuclear or radiological terrorism; what you wanted to know about WMDs; and what you learned through this entire process.

Finally, include some of your own thoughts about what it means to be an emergency manager or disaster preparedness coordinator, and state whether this exercise influenced your decision to remain in your current field or seek further knowledge regarding possible other employment opportunities in another field.
