Public Safety Advisor
You work as a public safety advisor for the government. You've studied much about disasters and know how people can increase their chances for surviving one. Your report will help your team understand the things people should do to prepare themselves for disaster.  You'll need to report on:

* What is FEMA and what does it do?

* What plan would you develop to protect people in this type of disaster?

* What areas of the world are most at risk for this type of disaster?  Why?

*Remember* 

Your report should be at least 1 full page in length. It should focus on the questions above and include the two most useful websites to you.  Follow all of the rules you would for a language arts writing prompt (proper grammar, paragraphs, spelling, etc.).  See the
grading rubric for more information.
