Module 2 – SLP Writer: please write 3 pages for this assignment
Facilitating an Integrated Response to Public Health Needs in an Emergency
You are a new employee at your county Emergency Management Agency (EMA). Your county suffers a devastating earthquake, knocking out the power grid and causing widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. It is also at the peak of the regular influenza season. You are assigned as your agencys liaison to the County Public Health Department (PHD). Unfortunately, your county EMA and PHD have a history of working in silos. However, in this emergency, you are going to need to work together in order to serve the population. As your first task, you are asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for the EMA team, to help educate those that have limited knowledge about public health and disasters.
You will create several slides in each module, so by Module 4, you will have a complete presentation.
Your task for Module 2 is to create several slides that identify and review specific laws, policies, and regulations where public health is addressed in terms of disasters, and explain their significance. You should address the following:
Emergency Support Function #8
Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act
National Health Security Strategy
National Incident Management System
DoD Directive 3025.1
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
SLP Assignment Expectations
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (at least 6 slides) including speakers notes (you will be penalized if your speakers notes are not included).
Include a reference list at the end in a concluding slide. Also, provide the necessary citations in your presentation/speakers notes.
Additional Resources
What are speaker notes?
As you recall, the PowerPoint slides should only give your audience some key points about the topic. You should not try to cram your slides full of information. Speakers notes can help the presenter remember everything that he or she wants to say about a particular slide.
Follow these simple steps to add speakers notes to your PowerPoint presentation:
Open your PowerPoint presentation
Go to the View menu and select the Notes page.
The notes page will be small, so you will have to go to the View menu again and select Zoom in order to make them bigger. Select the percentage of zoom that you want (the higher the percentage, the larger the page will become).
