Emergency Management Economics and Social Trends

Question 1
Hurricane Michael and Florence impacted North Carolina differently due to their path, speed, and other issues. Think about and discuss how these two hurricanes impacted North Carolina differently because of this. Consider the differences in each hurricane and how those differences impacted the communities

Question 2
Everyone has responsibilities during a hurricane evacuation, think about what responsibilities are specific to community members vs. government agencies.

This may be a bit abstract but I encourage you to think outside of the box and picture yourself in this situation of an impending hurricane. What are you responsibilities as an individual, family member, community member? This can be a short answer.

Question 3
An edge case is a problem or situation that occurs only at an extreme (maximum or minimum) operating parameter.  These are the uncommon occurrences that happen when nature stresses systems to the limit.

In emergency management, edge cases in planning lead to tens of thousands or more people left out of the planning and response process.

One edge case to take into consideration when planning is the one in this video below. 

Watch the video, identify the edge case in this situation and discuss how you would address it in the planning or in the response phase of a hurricane.
