In this activity, you will read Appendix 6 and Appendix 7 from Failure of Initiative: Final Report of the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation and Response to Hurricane Katrina. Reflect on these two appendices and write a 500-word summary of the differing perspectives and the finger-pointing involved in the post-disaster response. Offer some suggestions, based on what you learned in this course, on how conflicts among responding organizations could have been better managed, with a focus on psychological aspects of cooperation, including preparedness as a state of mind.
All applicants go through a series of tests that check their level of English and knowledge of formatting styles. The applicant is also required to present a sample of writing to the Evaluation Department. If you wish to find out more about the procedure, check out the whole process.
