- Describe the assets of this community. Refer to both internal and external resources.
- Identify the multiple levels of government and the health services that would be expected to react to a disaster.

- Describe the type of disaster that could happen in this community.
- Explain why this type of disaster is a possibility for this community. Make sure to include pertinent ethnographic and epidemiologic factors.
Part 2: A Disaster-Preparedness Plan
