Description
The purpose of the Portfolio Project is to give the cadets the opportunity to demonstrate and exercise their understanding and knowledge of this course by writing and preparing a complete emergency management plan that incorporates the standards in CILO 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The Portfolio Project involves conducting research on emergency management procedures developed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Cadets will conduct an analysis of the emergency management organization by using emergency management theories and frameworks. The cadet will also implement suggestions to the planning of the emergency management procedures by either changing and/or incorporating effective strategic approach
Process
- Read “Emergency Management in Saudi Arabia: Past Present and Future”
- Choose 3 of the Emergency Management topics from the reading including: Human-related risks (terrorist, motor vehicle, crashes, fires, Ramadan and Hajj seasons risks) Technological hazards (Oil spills, Blackouts, Nuclear), Natural Disasters (sandstorms, heat waves, flooding, drought). *** DO NOT USE THE SAME SPECIFIC TOPIC***
- Apply the Course Intended Learning Outcomes to your paper:
- Plan MITIGATION and RESPONSE measures appropriate to specific problems in KSA. [CILO 1] Disaster 1 (for ex: Flooding in Saudi Arabia )
- Support KSA emergency management proposals and conclusions with theory and experience (Use Emergency Management Cycle and previous case studies). [CILO 2] Disaster 2 (for ex: terrorist :Khobar massacre)
- Critique plans of Emergency Management in KSA (Reading- Emergency Management in Saudi Arabia: Past, Present and Future). [CILO 3] (Comparing)
- Write YOUR KSA emergency management reports in conformance with industry standards. [CILO 4] Disaster 3 (for ex: Sandstorms)
Your Report should be minimum of 3,000 words and it must be in Saudi Arabia
