Description
This week’s readings have you reading Chapter’s 12, 13, 14, and 15 of Schneider.
For your case study assignment this week you are to write a total of 4 half-page paragraphs, one each for Hurricane Katrina’s strikes in Louisiana and Mississippi from Chapter 12 and one paragraph for each of the two “normal disasters” from Chapter 13 of your readings. Each paragraph should focus on the disaster highlighted for the given location and discuss that disaster event from the perspective of Schneider’s framework.
Using the information from your readings and the Public Policy PowerPoint slides about Schneider’s framework, comment on the following:
For each of the two locations (Louisiana, Mississippi) impacted by Hurricane Katrina and two locations (South Carolina and Tennessee) for the flooding events …..
1. Determine Implementation Pattern
2. Characterize governmental response (e.g., success/failure, etc.)
3. Characterize human behavior (include Schneider’s terms for collective behavior, e.g., milling, keynoting, etc.)
4. Describe major events/characteristics of disaster that led to successes and failures
You must summarize these four findings in 4 individual half-page paragraphs for each disaster location.
