Case Study


Imagine you have been asked to provide expert commentary on an event to a senior level of government (e.g. A
Minister). Students will undertake an examination of an event that has occurred. A commentary ofthe event should be prepared
including:
1. A description ofthe event.
2. An analysis of howthe management ofthe event accorded with the principles of effective
disaster management throughout the cycle of preparedness, response and recovery.
3. A discussion of howthe lessons learned from the event
(both what went well and what did not go well) may be applied in the future.
The assignment should demonstrate your analytical abilities,
an understanding ofthe basic principles and the ability to identify and critically analyse the issues that you identified.
Students should
undertake this task individually, although it is recognised that individual students may elect to examine the same event.
There is no
particularword limit forthis assessment, but it is recommended that you stay within 1500-3000 words.
Please see Port Arthur.. file for
more information.
