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 Is your risk communication plan out of date or incomplete?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 work with you on your problem or a project, that will allow them integrate and apply a variety of disaster and emergency management components to one or more issues, solutions or innovations. Students will apply their broad mastery of learning from their curriculum. They will undertake the steps to address a problem or project, unique to your organization and make corresponding recommendations with regard to how to both mitigate associated risks as well how to manage during crises.

Students will create an emergency management exercise that supports mitigation, prevention, response and/or recovery capabilities at an organization-level (i.e., single agency) or jurisdiction-level (i.e., multi-agency), including but not limited to:

State the goal(s) for the project (i.e., what you hope to accomplish),

Describe the anticipated solution(s) you will develop

Outline how the project will benefit the organization and/ or the field of emergency management.
