Overview
In this assignment, you will evaluate the effects of a hypothetical heat wave in Phoenix, Arizona: the temperature hits 120 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 days in July. You will assess capacities and vulnerabilities in Phoenix using the vulnerability analysis matrix method covered in the readings. In a report to the City of Phoenix, you will analyze the results of your analysis to determine who is most and least vulnerable. You will also make recommendations regarding who should be given first priority for disaster aid based on your vulnerability analysis. Cite 5 or more peer-reviewed academic books or articles (including material from the readings and lectures) to support your arguments.
Example
A model example is posted below to illustrate what this analysis might look like and address.
Please note that the example analysis was conducted by Prof. Wutich in her area of expertise: drought in Cochabamba, Bolivia. It is not expected that you will generate Ph.D. level analysis based on 10 years of research, as is reflected in this example! Rather, this is meant to provide a model of the kinds of topics and concerns that you might address in your analysis.
Helpful Academic References
If you want to know more about this kind of analysis, I have included a few peer-reviewed academic publications that I thought you might enjoy. Some are global literature reviews. Others focus on Phoenix (as you’ve been asked to do in this assignment). The last one is the Chicago case discussed in the lecture. These citations will “count” toward the five required for this assignment if you choose to read and cite them.
