Emergency health disasters can occur when least expected. As evidenced by the readings, it is important to anticipate and prepare for such events.
Develop an Emergency Operations Plan, outlining disaster preparedness for Saudi Arabia to deal with flooding. Review flooding in the Jeddah region for a better understanding of the seriousness and causes of the situation. Below are some websites to help you begin your research:
Jeddah Flooding, 2009, video
Saudi Arabia: Top 10 Natural Disasters
Saudi Arabia: Disaster & Risk Profile
In your plan, be sure to address answers to problems regarding organizing, training, equipping, and correcting efforts to provide effective collaboration.
Your plan should meet the following structural requirements:
4-5 pages in length, not including the cover and reference pages;
Include the following headings:
Scope and Purpose
Participation Roles
Resources Required
Priorities for Action
Communication and Dissemination
Formatted according to APA and Saudi Electronic University writing standards; and
Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of four scholarly articles. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but two must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to find these references.
