For this project, you will build on the topic that you selected in Unit V and create a response and recovery plan for a terrorist attack in your community.
For your project, you will assume the information below.
You are employed in an emergency management function in your local community.
The act of terror takes place in your community with little to no warning.
There are mass causalities and damage to local infrastructure.
Your plan must address the components listed below.

communications,
public information,
protective measures at the scene,
mass care,
resource management,
multiagency coordination and interoperability,

Utilize compelling or persuasive evidence from appropriate sources to support your plan. You do not have to use all the sources you identified in your Unit V Project Topic assignment submission, but you must ultimately use at least five sources to support your plan.
Incorporate course concepts by identifying national plans, policies, systems, or departments that guide and support your plan.
Your project submission must be a minimum of five double-spaced pages, not counting the title and reference pages.
You are required to use at least five high-quality sources, such as current government (federal or local) policy, academic articles, or empirical studies.
