How do we know what is an emergency? Who controls how that is decided?
Emergency
Overview: Having examined development and disaster response as professional structures, this week questions the uses of emergency from a governance perspective.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this module, students will be able to:
- Critique the categorization of “emergency” as a separate status from “normalcy” and discuss how this affects thinking, planning, and action.
Discussion: How do we know what is an emergency? Who controls how that is decided? Is it different for different types of emergency?
This discussion requires two posts, an initial post and two response post. Later in the day will need to respond to two other posting. 100 words each so a total of 200 in responses to two other students. Total of 850- 950 words in discussion post, reference not included in the word counting. I will upload the required pdfs.
