o Consider if the event was caused by humans or natural.
o Examine the direct and indirect impact on immediate- and long-term public health.
o Identify data regarding mortality and/or morbidity outcomes, if available.
o Explain the geographical impact with respect to health. Also consider the number of lives lost, environmental damage, economic fallout, and long-term repercussions or impact.
o Examine the research on the likelihood of this event recurring.
• Identify and describe the immediate- and long-term emergency response plans and efforts to the disaster you have selected. Be sure to identify which groups, organizations, and/or governments led or are leading the response efforts and the various players who participated or are participating in this response.
• Examine the lessons learned from previous responses to similar disasters. List at least three recommendations for protecting public health from a recurrence and/or the aftermath of similar disasters in the future.
