Read through the emergency disasters below. Select one of these scenarios and then complete the following steps:

• Scenario No. 1: “Dragon/Volcano Emergency Response”
• Scenario No. 2: “Vaccine Gone Awry Emergency Response”
• Scenario No. 3: “Tornado Scenario”
• Scenario No. 4: “Tropical Cyclone and Flooding”
• Scenario No. 5: “Zombie Apocalypse”

Imagine you are the director of FEMA using NIMS when this disaster occurs.

• Develop a PSA (using either Screencast or video) that informs the population of what will be done to resolve the issue. Address these elements in your video:
  • Describe the nature of the situation.
  • Explain what FEMA and others are doing to mitigate the situation.
  • Explain what people need to do to stay safe and/or to get help in order to reduce panic.
• Your vocal tone should be one that is meant to reduce panic and provide a solid explanation of the above elements.
• Copy and paste the URL to your video or screencast within your discussion forum response. If you are unable to create a YouTube video for this discussion, you may use a screencast program. However, you do not need to develop a PowerPoint presentation. This discussion is meant to assess your communication abilities, therefore, the audio portion of the video and/or screencast is essential. If you elect to use the screencast option, you may simply use a picture of yourself reporting the above information in lieu of a PowerPoint.
