Public health officials can play a huge part in disaster planning and emergency preparedness. Evaluate Texas’ disaster response plan.

Ensure you:

1) Identify nursing roles and responsibilities during each phase of disaster management. Consider:

~ Planning

~ Preparedness

~ Response

~ Recovery

2) Evaluate Texas’s plan for preparedness and disaster management:

~ Does it include provisions for each phase of preparedness and disaster planning?

~ Does it clearly account for community needs?

~ Does the plan include evidence of thought beyond the written report?

~ Is there evidence of a record-keeping system for resources, treatment, and identification of victims?

~ Are there redundancies built into the plan if one option fails? Are backup plans in place?

3) Analyze your community or state’s plan for addressing mass casualty situations.

Cite at least 1 peer-reviewed and 1 evidence-based reference.

Include APA-formatted citations as a references page. ( for presentations: Include a slide with APA-formatted references)

Format your assignment as a 7- to 10-slide presentation

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
