Overview

For the final writing assignment of the course, we will be bringing together all of the material from Modules 1-6 and explaining their application and utility to Emergency Managers and Public Safety personnel.

To provide a framework for this assessment, we will be using a White Paper format, which is common in both government and private industry.  A white paper is an in-depth report or guide about a specific topic, the problems that surround it, and then provide a recommended solution for the way forward. It is meant to both educate the readers and help them to understand and make an informed decision.

Formatting Requirements

  • 3-5 pages
  • Double-spaced
  • Organized using the four (4) section headers listed below
  • Citations and References formatting according to APA 7

Instructions

Imagine that you are a newly hired Emergency Manager/Public Safety officer for a jurisdiction. As you learn more during your first few weeks about the existing program, you notice that there are a lack of Information Technology resources available to your program (assume they have nothing beyond cell phones & email).

In response to your request to the city manager for a budget for these items, the city manager asks you to complete a White Paper helping them understand the issue and providing recommendations for action.

Your paper should present the following elements of a White Paper:

Section 1: INTRODUCTION

A brief INTRODUCTION of the importance of Information Technology to Emergency Management and Public Safety

Section 2: DESCRIPTION

A brief DESCRIPTION of key common Information Technology resources available to your jurisdiction

Section 3: BENEFTIS & CONSEQUENCES

An analysis of the BENEFITS AND CONSEQUENCES of using or not using Information Technologies

Section 4: RECOMMENDATION

Conclude with a RECOMMENDATION for what resources would be of most benefit to the jurisdiction’s Emergency Management/Public Safety programs. This recommendation should include a prioritization of the order in which they should be implemented. Please ignore cost as a consideration.

The grading rubric is attached below.
