Few civilians understand the impact a nuclear detonation in a major citywould have on the population. The extent of the disaster and devastation woulddwarf prior natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and would leavelong-lasting challenges from recovering in the contaminated areasimilar toincidents such as those in Fukushima Daiichi or Chernobyl.
A general population training effort, not too unlike the civil defenseeffort of the Cold War, is needed so that citizens understand the risk ofterrorist nuclear detonations in major cities, what devastation can beexpected, and basic life- saving actions. The population needs to know andcomprehend the plans for sheltering, evacuating, and/or decontaminating sothey are willing to comply with the government’s direction during thedisaster.
The first step in this direction is educating decision-makers on why such apublic training and education plan is needed and suggesting a plan fordeveloping one.
Develop a professional 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation to the FederalEmergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator and his or her staff on anaction plan to prepare government agencies for recovering from a nucleardetonation. This PowerPoint presentation should include a compelling case forwhy such a plan is necessary. Describe risks that citizens could encounter ifa detonation occurred in a major U.S. city, and identify key elements of apublic education and training plan for maintaining established services andthe impact of health-related issues from a nuclear attack.
As part of the PowerPoint presentation, you are encouraged to use the notesection for the content slides to reinforce your presentation. Ensure thatyour presentation includes visuals such as images and graphics to supplementyour message. Images and graphics along with supporting references andin-text citations must follow APA formatting guidelines and should be free oferrors.
