Module 4 – Case ( Writer: Please write 3 pages for this assignment
Points of Distribution (PODs) and the Strategic National Stockpile
Case Assignment
After reviewing the background materials on Points of Dispensing (PODs) and the Strategic National Stockpile, identify two individual state plans or field operation guides for mass prophylaxis via PODs (you may use the Oregon guide in the recommended reading as one of your plans). For your paper, compare and contrast these two plans. How are they similar? How are they different?
After doing so, review the article by Potter, et al., Preparedness for pandemics: Does variation among states affect the nation as a whole? Using your two state examples, make a case for or against having a national standard for PODs implementation. This should not be opinion, but should be supported by your research on the topic.
Assignment Expectations
Use information from your module readings/articles as well as appropriate research to support your selection.
Length: The Case Assignment should be 3-5 pages long (double-spaced).
References: At least three references must be included from academic sources (peer-reviewed journal articles). Required reading is included. Quoted materials should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Use your own words and build on the ideas of others. Materials copied verbatim from external sources must be enclosed in quotation marks. In-text citations are required as well as a list of references at the end of the assignment. (APA format is recommended.)
Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to the questions.
Format: APA format is recommended for this assignment.
Grammar and Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor errors, assignments are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar and spelling impact clarity.

Module 4 – SLP ( Writer: Please write two pages for this assignment
Points of Distribution (PODs) and the Strategic National Stockpile
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

Explain the purposes of both the Strategic National Stockpile and Points of Dispensing.
Explain the relationship between the Strategic National Stockpile and Points of Dispensing
Review some of the considerations with the planning and implementation of PODs to include (but not limited to):
Staffing

12 hour push package
SLP Assignment Expectations
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (at least 6 slides for the Module 4 component) 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.
For your final presentation, compile the content from Modules 1-4 into a comprehensive and cohesive presentation, with necessary introductory and conclusion slides. Your Module 4 piece does not need to be submitted separately, but can just be submitted as part of this final presentation.
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.
How do I make speakers notes?
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).
Click inside the notes page and begin typing your speaker notes.
Continue doing this on each slide until your speaker notes are written.
Once you have finished writing your speaker notes, save your presentation and it is ready to be graded.
