Routine vs. Critical Incident Presentation

Prepare a 10- to 15- slide presentation describing the difference between routine and critical incidents.

Choose five (5) incidents, with at least two from your area, and label each as a routine or a critical incident. (Tennessee)

Answer the following questions within the speakers notes portion of the slides for each incident:

• What was the nature and cause of the incident?
• Who were the responders to the incident and how did they overcome the incident?
• How long did it take to respond and recover from the incident?
• Who was affected by the incident? Local residents, business, community, state, nation, world?
• Did the incident attract a media response and if so, was the media localized, national, or global?
• Do you feel the response was a success or needed improvement? Why?

Summarize in a concluding slide(s) the factors that differentiate a routine from a critical incident. Use the five incidents as examples.

Format your slides consistent with APA guidelines uses bullets on slides and detailed speakers notes.
