Requirements: Identify the question you decide to answer at the top of your post. Prompt responses should answer the question and elaborate in a meaningful way using 2 of the weekly class readings (250 words of original content). Do not quote the readings, paraphrase and cite them using APA style in text citations. You can only use ONE multimedia source (video lectures or videos) for your minimum 2 sources each week. The readings must be from the current week. The more sources you use, the more convincing your argument. Include a reference list in APA style at the end of your post, does not count towards minimum word content
Choose one:
1) What is bottom-up implementation emergency management? What were the issues with the bottom-up practices of Emergency Management in Nepal during the earthquake? Why was the bottom up practice ineffective in the case of Nepal?
2) Analyze the social, economic, physical and environmental vulnerabilities of Nepal before the earthquake. How did these influence the consequences after the earthquake? Note: Review Coppola reading on vulnerability (week 2): no need to define each type of vulnerability, it is common knowledge now so focus on this weeks case, Coppola does not count for the 2 minimum sources.
