Learner goals and capabilities

Is your organization in need of a plan in the case of an emergency or unexpected event? Is your risk communication plan out of date or incomplete? Capstone students will either create a risk communication plan or audit and augment an existing plan. Students will conduct a risk analysis specific to your organization and make corresponding recommendations with regard to how to both mitigate associated risks as well how to manage during crises.

Project examples

The participants will, within the presentation of the final project paper, share their solutions and application of processes, knowledge, and skill sets. Within this framework, participants will be encouraged to examine a case study that involves best practices from their own professional milieu, or other scenarios which are pertinent to work in the field of disaster and emergency management.
