Benefits of private-public partnerships

Assignment Description

Consider that you are the city’s emergency manager, and you are asked to prepare a written presentation for the city council on the benefits of private–public partnerships. Write a 2-3 page paper (in APA format) that includes the following:

Using the Dallas Community in Texas, USA, which is my community, identify 3 key partnerships among the public, private, and non-profit sectors.

Explain how these partnerships are formed and maintained.

Explore the roles and responsibilities of the private sector in homeland security

Describe how the public and private sectors can work together to help keep the community safe.

Relate the partnerships to a prior or potential catastrophic event in the Dallas community, and describe in detail, how such partnerships would benefit the response, recovery, and community resilience.

The major instruction is, you have to use my community, the Dallas Community in Texas as a case study, research the community and apply the instructions. Bullet points 1, 2, & 3. Thank you.

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
