You will complete the worksheet template provided to identify and rank top jurisdictional hazards, and select the hazard of your choice to complete the Signature Assignment, e.g. fires in San Diego, or tsunamis in Alaska. A sample jurisdiction sheet and an example are included for practice. Components: 1. Hazard & Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) 2. Signature Assignment Paper 3. Signature Assignment Presentation Scenario: You are applying for an internship within the Emergency Preparedness and Response department at your local county health department. The application process requires that you submit a public health disaster management plan for a natural or man-made event in the community. The plan should adapt best practices and lessons learned from a recent event in a similar community to prepare your local community. The most comprehensive, evidence-based and realistic plans will be selected for in-person interviews which will include a presentation of the proposal. The plans should also be mindful of an all-hazards approach. Earning an internship will provide you opportunities to network with experts that can help improve your skills and provide you a competitive advantage when applying for employment and/or graduate school. Step 1: Pick an area with hazards that are interesting to you (e.g., San Diego) HVA: To write and present a disaster management plan for your chosen local jurisdiction, it is necessary to know what hazards are present. A HVA is a way to determine top hazards for an area. Choose the area on which you want to do your project, and complete the HVA worksheet for your chosen jurisdiction. Step 2: Identify the top threats to the jurisdiction based on results of your HVA and chose a high-ranking hazard on which you would like to focus (e.g., wildfires in San Diego) Step 3: Complete the paper and presentation, following the rubric. Paper: Following the scenario above, write your paper as if you were creating a public health disaster management plan for your chosen jurisdiction, using the hazard you chose from the HVA and acknowledging the HVA process for your paper (e.g., write a plan for public health management of wildfires in San Diego). Presentation: Present your paper to the class, as if the class was an interview panel for your local health department.
