The Planville Disaster Recovery Plan presentation should incorporate the following elements:

  • Use the technical language of disaster recovery
  • Include both natural and technological hazards
  • Include the components of both short- and long-term disaster recovery operations
  • Describe how the recovery phase fits into the comprehensive emergency management process
  • Make connections between disaster recovery and the other phases of emergency management
  • Make recommendations for improving Planville’s disaster resilience using a holistic approach and eye toward sustainability
  • Make specific recommendations on mitigation projects (both structural and nonstructural)
  • Factor in the roles and responsibilities of local, state, and federal governments in recovery operations
  • Distinguish between the roles and responsibilities of private sector individuals, organizations, and insurance providers in recovery operations
  • Identify potential sources for financing recovery
  • Describe how rebuilding with an eye toward sustainability has become integral to creating resilient communities

The PowerPoint presentation should have the following characteristics:

  • Designed with a live audience in mind in order to inform your viewers about the topic
  • Bullets for your main points
  • Pictures to support your presentation where applicable
  • Speaker notes to fully explain what is being discussed in the slide bullet points as though you are presenting to an audience
  • A title slide and a references slide
  • Research from at least two reliable sources to support the main message,
    including graphics. Discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the sources used.
  • Information from course readings, the course materials, or other library
    sources incorporated to support your discussion.  Properly cite all sources of information by including in-text citations and a list of references.
  • Research and visuals cited in APA citation format, both in-text and on a References slide. You need to quote material taken directly from a source. The same standards for documenting sources that apply to an essay also apply to a presentation. Go to Course Home>Academic Tools> APA Style Central® for a digital library of APA style quick guides and tutorials to refine your writing.
  • Signal phrases are useful in presentations. They help make your writing flow with one idea clearly leading to the next. It is a good practice to use signal words and phrases instead of just inserting quotations abruptly and separately. For more details on signal phrases, refer to the Writing Center.
