Disasters can occur anywhere and at any time. Populations need to be prepared to prevent serious injuries. Nurses and other healthcare personnel need to be prepared and be able to educate populations worldwide. Are you prepared for a disaster? Identify a disaster that has happened or is likely to happen in the area you live. Locate a checklist or assessment tool for evaluating emergency preparedness for the specific disaster you have chosen. Cite this source in the text of your case study and include as a reference in your reference list. Use the disaster checklist or assessment tool to evaluate your own home and explain your findings. How prepared are you for the selected disaster? What actions can you take to be better prepared? What are some legal, ethical, and economic implications that affect populations impacted by disasters. A title page is not required–Include a reference page at the end of the case study- The reference page needs to be formatted according to the 7th edition APA manual. Additional references need to come from reliable sources.
