Instructions

As a leader in emergency management, you want to minimize negative consequences of risk by implementing a risk management plan. For this assignment, you will design a new risk management plan for the contemporary issues you identified in Unit 2, as related to the location you identified (city, organization, or agency).

Try to be as realistic as possible in your design, taking into account your city or organization’s location and mission.

Feel free to incorporate components from the location’s present risk management plan (if they have one), if you feel that they are the best choice. If you use an existing risk management plan, indicate the plan as a reference.

Complete the following for this assignment:

Discuss in detail how the issues you identified impact the location.

Explain the order of priorities for management of these issues.

Analyze how you propose the organization will manage the issues.

Propose metrics that will monitor the implementation progress of your risk management plan for these issues.

You are permitted to use free risk management plan templates from the Internet, but be sure to list the location of the URL where the template was located.

The following are sample metrics that could be included:

Completing a vulnerability assessment. (This is something that you would already have a start on since you have identified two issues.) Training employees for an introduction to risk management.

Implementing policies and procedures to support the risk management plan. Other metrics pertinent to your particular location.

Written communication: Your writing should clearly identify where each grading criteria or part of the assignment is addressed.

Your points are required to be logical, substantive, and relevant based on the evidence presented.

The writing must be free of errors that detract from the overall message.

APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting.

When appropriate, use APA formatted headings.

Number of resources:

Minimum of six recent, peer-reviewed resources.

Length of paper: Four typed, double-spaced pages. Font type and size: Times New Roman, 12 points.
