The Asian Tsunami
On December 26, 2004, an undersea earthquake with a magnitude of 9.3 on the Richter scale occurred off the west coast of Indonesia. It triggered a devastating tsunami (known as the Asian Tsunami). With waves exceeding 100 feet, this tsunami killed more than 275,000 people in 11 countries. This international incident was one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history.
Research and assess the destruction brought about by the Asian Tsunami. Design an emergency management plan for the purpose of protecting an American coastal city from the same type of disaster. Consider the short length of warning time in a disaster such as a tsunami.
Your plan must be comprehensive and address the fundamental disciplines of emergency management.

In the field, you will need to be able to communicate the results of your evaluation in a way that guides stakeholders through your process, extends understanding of your conclusions, and provokes questions and ideas that pave the way for future evaluation and change.
You have already drafted an executive summary to use as an introduction to your final narrative.
Complete your presentation by adding 10 to 15 slides that are designed to summarize the data you will collect. Use the outline that you prepared last week to map how you will communicate results. Also, take some time to consider a spectrum of responses given a variety of outcomes. In this way, you will be prepared for different reactions.
Show the relationship between the goals and objectives of both the program and your proposed evaluation.
Prepare slides in which you address the following:
Results and recommendations welcomed by stakeholders
Neutral results and recommendations
Results and recommendations unwelcomed by stakeholders
Include in your speaker notes details of how you will use the contingency planning you mapped in this week’s discussion.
Format your PowerPoint® presentation to ensure the slides only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide made up of long bullet points. Your speaker notes convey the details you would give if you were presenting.
For help, consult the guide on how to create speaker notes from Microsoft®.
Include comprehensive speaker notes.
Cite at least 2 peer-reviewed or similar references to support your assignment.
Include a slide with APA-formatted references.
Submit your assignment.
Finally, prepare a 350-word summary document that your stakeholders can take with them and review. In this document, offer a concise review of the work you have done:
In general, evaluation questions fall into these groups:
Implementation: How and when will the evaluation take place?
Effectiveness: Define evidence of evaluation quality and achievement.
Efficiency: Summarize use of resources: time, human, and financial.
Cost-Effectiveness: How will the value or benefit of evaluating the program to target improvement exceed the cost of maintaining the status quo?
Attribution: How will progress on goals and objectives identified in your evaluation be shown to be related to program improvements, as opposed to other things that are going on at the same time?
Cite a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed or similar sources to support your assignment.

Response to International Disasters
Is the United Nations the organization best suited to coordinate the response to international disasters? Why or why not? If not, who do you believe should be given the task of such coordination?
The Posse Comitatus Act limits the involvement of the US military in domestic operations but not international disasters. Do you believe the US military would be better equipped than the Department of Homeland Security to lead the federal response to domestic disasters? Why or why not?
Evaluate the possibility of corruption or abuse by private foundations that step in to assist a poor country dealing with the aftermath of a disaster or crisis. Provide an example if possible. Does disaster relief make recipient nations more dependent or more independent?

What is Conflict
When you think of the word conflict, what comes to mind?  Write down every word you associate with conflict—around 10 things.  Then, ask three people the same question, but do not share responses with them. Next, put the words into two columns, one positive and one negative.  What do you notice?  Finally, answer these questions:
1.  Do you have more negative words than positive words?  What accounts for the difference in the number of positive and negative words?
2.  What similarities and differences do you notice between your words and the words of others? 
3.  What do you notice about how people view conflict?  What do you think this means? 
4.  Now that you have this information, does this change your view of conflict and how different people respond to conflict?
This assignment should contain the formatted list of positives and negatives on one page. Then, there should be at least one page of analysis for the questions asked.  Be sure you provide supporting examples and any relevant textbook citations.

The VRI (visit to a religious institution) requirements for the course now has a few options. The main aim of the VRI paper is for you to report on your engagement with a religious institution (Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, or Hindu) and dialogue with an insider and show how this has impacted your thinking. Here are two options for how you can engage an insider view:
A. In-person dialogue: Safely visit with a member of another religious institution outdoors and stay six feet apart while wearing a mask. You are to ask them very broad questions such as “Share with you what it means to them to be a Hindu, or Christian, or Muslim. What is most important to being Hindu or Christian or Muslim in your view? What do they wish others new about their religion?” Make sure to take notes. Preference should be given to local religious institutions in your area but it is not required that it be local. If you can’t find a local institution feel free to use the REL 223 religious institution list and make contact with them as well as set a date for your appointment. All institutions on this list have already been contacted by representatives of the Saint Leo University Center for Catholic-Jewish Studies’ Interreligious Study and Dialogue project so they should be aware that Saint Leo students might be calling them. NOTE: If you have difficulty for some reason you may interview a friend who is a member of one of the religions studied in class. The religion you engage must not be at all affiliated with a religious tradition that you are personally are already religiously affiliated with. If you are a Christian do not engage another Christian denomination. You must engage another religion entirely. Focus on what their religion means to them. Then talk about whether their view of their religion helped you to see any gaps in your understanding of that religion, and whether this impacts your understanding of your own tradition.
B. Dialogue by phone or video conference: Instead of dialoguing with them in person, please set up a dialogue with them by phone or video conference. You are to ask them very broad questions such as “Share with you what it means to them to be a Hindu, or Christian, or Muslim. What is most important to being Hindu or Christian or Muslim in your view? What do they wish others new about their religion?” Make sure to take notes. Preference should be given to local religious institutions in your area but it is not required that it be local.
