Watch the video on the previous page, "Oklahoma National Guard Tornado Response Documentary - The Day of Days",which will help frame your response to the following question. Weather has significant impact on us. It can hamper our responses, it also can create our responses. Weather events seem to be occurring more frequent with significant impact on our population. Whether it is cold, heat, earthquakes, snow, floods, etc. they all can cause a situation that creates a mass casualty incident.

Read Special Report: Fire Department Preparedness for Extreme Weather Emergencies and Natural Disasters and select one weather phenomenon that could possibly impact your area. Use an event that is not common rather one that could occur, but is not necessarily normal. For example, a few years ago an earthquake struck the Washington DC region that originated in Mineral Springs, VA. This event is not normal for that region, but it can occur. Then write a paper on how that event could impact your area. Include things as what should be done to prepare for the event, during the event and after the event. Focus on managing patients for the duration and how a mass casualty incident would be handled as a result of the incident. Include references cited in APA. Also, reference similar events that have previously occurred in other areas to base your speculation of what could occur in your area. Using the example of the earthquake, DC region do not have structures built to withstand earthquakes of any significance. The paper should be in APA format. 3-5 pages excluding the title page, abstract page and reference page.
