The purpose of the DB 3 is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Within the DB area, write 3–5 paragraphs that respond to the following questions:

• How important do you feel the mitigation phase is in emergency management? Explain.
  • What do you think are the most important operations to conduct within the mitigation phase? Explain.
• What is the role of the emergency management community in the pre-disaster phase? Explain.
• Should emergency managers be working with planning boards and community planners? Why or why not?
• If emergency managers were going to work on the planning boards, how should they do so? What are the best practices?
