Description

Provide a general brief that discusses the range of health security issues you may encounter during the response to a crisis or disaster as if you were briefing policy makers with little to no background in emergency management.

What are those threats and how might they impact your decision making? How do you weigh the competing priorities of saving/recovering victims, preventing further injury and death, and protecting your responders.

Consider the range of threats in each environment and consider how you might address them in general terms as well as how you might address the conflicts that always exist between rescuing victims and protecting the health and safety of your first responders.
