Emergency Management

The next Sections cover Natural Emergencies (Chapters 19-21) Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, and Cyclones and Extreme Temperature Emergencies: Heat Waves and Cold Storms and Industrial Emergencies (Chapter 22-23) Hazardous Materials and Nuclear Energy Reactors.

For this weeks discussion, I would like for you to address the following

1)      Choose one event from the Natural Emergencies Section (Chapters 19-21). What public health impacts would NYC face during the selected event? What can be done to prepare for this event? What can be done to mitigate impacts of this event? What should be included in response and recovery plans for your selected event?

2)      Choose one event from the Industrial Emergencies Section (Chapters 22-23). What public health impacts would NYC face during the selected event? What can be done to prepare for this event? What can be done to mitigate impacts of these incidents? What should be included in response and recovery plans for these events?
