Module 1 – SLP
EMERGENCY PLANNING AND METHODOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION
Partnerships and the Emergency Response Plan
The Session Long Project for this course is to examine
partnerships of five essential sectors to an effective Emergency Response Plan
(ERP)—using the National Response Framework (NRF) as a guide.
These partnerships are:
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and volunteer
partnerships
Military partnerships: humanitarian/support role
Local, state, and federal partnerships
Private sector partnerships
Local fire department/law enforcement partnerships
We will now consider the first partnership: nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) and volunteer partnerships.
Respond to the following:
The NRF contains guidelines for NGO and volunteer
involvement in the aftermath of a disaster. An effective ERP should have
language addressing their involvement locally.
Locate in the NRF guidelines NGO and volunteer management.
Cite your sources: title, location, page number.
Locate the appropriate NRF Annex for the American Red Cross.
Choose two functions and relate them to an effective ERP. In other words, how
and what would be the functions of the Red Cross according to an ideal
Emergency Response Plan? Cite your sources by location, title, and page number.
Which NGOs and/or volunteer organizations would you include
in this plan, and why? Be specific.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Length: The SLP assignment should be at least 2-3 pages
long.
References: At least two references should be included from
academic sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles). Required readings are
included. The references should be cited within the text and also listed at the
end of the assignment in the References section (preferably in APA format).
Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper
(since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Use your own words
and build on the ideas of others. When material is copied verbatim from
external sources, it must be enclosed in quotes.
Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your
paper.
Format: APA format is recommended (but not required) for
this assignment. See Syllabus page for more information on APA format.
Grammar and Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor
errors, assignments are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar,
spelling, punctuation, and sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar
and spelling impact clarity.
The following items will be assessed in particular:
Relevance – All content is connected to the question.

facts, and statistics are specific and accurate.
Depth of discussion – Points that lead to deeper issues are
