Pick a problem that is in need of a policy solution within the realms of Emergency Management. This policy should NOT overlap with any pre-existing policies. Write a policy brief of 2-3 pages. The brief should contain the elements we’ve talked about in this course and should include a minimum of 5 references. The assignment should include the headers:
POLICY NAME: (Clearly describes the name of the policy).
PROBLEM: (Identifies a disaster preparedness or emergency management problem in need of a policy. Problem has an explicit or implied health implication. Implied health implications are identified. Completely describes the problem, including the significance (hint: this will likely include statistics to demonstrate the significance). Must include in-text citations.)
POLICY DEVELOPMENT: (Succinctly writes the policy statement (What are you proposing?). This should be no more than a 2-3 sentence paragraph. In-text citation if applicable.)
POLICY IMPLEMENTATION: (Clearly identifies procedures for implementing the policy. Makes a cost/benefit projection for implementation (you may not be able to give accurate dollar amounts but at least talk about items or procedures that generate cost and whether they would be high or low). Includes in-text citations.)
MONITORING & EVALUATING: (Develops monitoring and evaluating criteria. Describes what this information will convey and how it should be used to revise the policy. Includes in-text citations.)
