CRISIS MANAGEMENT, MODELS AND THEORIES P

This Assignment Project will introduce the student to the various tools, models, and theories that can be used for preparedness including the five steps of the FEMA Planning System.

In any discipline including crises, the importance to look at the different sciences and theories to consider and apply is crucial. The models and theories that can apply to crises can be taken from various planning, leadership, and modeling applications. These theories, models, and tools vary and will depend on the type of situation faced.

During this module, some of the different models, theories, and tools will be considered and surveyed. In the Case study, the student will survey and synthesize these to the FEMA Planning System.
