Here are the steps for your initial post:
1. Use the lists available at the Ready.gov website, FEMA, or the Red Cross website to gather items for your 72-hour home go-bag. Add additional items that you think will be useful and essential for your family. (You are not required to purchase items, but you may if you choose.)
2. Post a picture of all of the items you have gathered for your go-bag. Make sure your name is included somewhere in the picture (you can write your name on a piece of paper and include that in the picture, or add your student ID badge). For the sake of personal and family privacy, keep personal/private items out of the photograph; you may list them (e.g., prescription medications).
You must take and submit a picture of your own items! You may not post a picture from the internet or any other source.
Examples of common go-bag items include:
Water: one gallon per person per day (3-day supply)
Food: non-perishable, easy-to-prepare items (3-day supply)
Change of clothing (3-day supply)
Sanitation and personal hygiene items
Medications (7-day supply) and medical items (if not applicable, place a visible note card stating – NO Medications)
Cell phone with chargers
Flashlight
First aid kit
Battery-powered or hand-crank radio
Extra batteries
Multi-purpose tool

Map(s) of the area
Additional Items for pets:
Water
Food
Rabies certificate
Extra collar/leash
Additional items for infants:

Along with your photo, include the following information:
A discussion of the items in your home go-bag – what is present and what is missing.
A brief explanation of the demographic considerations and potential disaster hazards in your area and why you included certain items.
Your family, pets, and living situation considerations and why you included certain items.
Are you prepared to help others in your community in the event of a disaster?

Write a 5-7 page (not including cover, reference/citations, etc.) term paper (one that is to the point, is grammatically correct and free from punctuation errors) where you:
Describe the overall purpose of the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF)Links to an external site., including the Core Principles, Capabilities and Process essential for all communities to manage and improve recovery more effectively following an incident of any size or scale.
Describe the whole community of stakeholders, including their roles and responsibilities during the recovery phase of the disaster.
Describe the relevant Statutory and Executive orders and Authority primarily used during the disaster recovery phase.  
Material and research must be derived from the reading material (text and supplemental documents located in respective modules) and classroom lectures. 
Your term paper must be 5-7 pages in content length—by adding the required title page and citation page your complete assignment will be 6-9 pages in length. Graphs, Tables, and photos are used for emphasis. You may use as may graphs/tables/photos you deem necessary, but they do not count towards page length.
Your paper should be written using Times New Roman, 12 font size, with 1” margins using line spacing of 1.5” and APA styleLinks to an external site. and citation. Be concise and get right to the point but be comprehensive and detailed. Cite the source whenever using an idea that you borrowed from the text (author, year, page #). At all times, you must properly give credit to the original author, otherwise, you may be subject to plagiarism.

Cybersecurity is considered as a new sector of homeland security.
What threat do cyber-attacks pose to the United States?
What if there was a successful terrorist group cyber-attack on the Pentagon, immobilizing the Department of Defense’s network communications or a segment of the U.S. critical infrastructure along the eastern or western coasts? Would this be an act of war? Discuss. Outline the various decisions necessary to mitigate such a disaster.
Remember to support your statements with examples and references.

In about 1 1/2-2 pages  ( 3 paragraphs or more) typed, double spaced, 1 inch margins.
Part 1) Using the media Bias Chart, identify a news source you use regularly ( if not regularly, one you are familiar with).  Where does it fall on the scale of fact based, opinion, not reliable,or  false information (the vertical axis) and where does it fall on the left to right spectrum ( horizontal axis)? What do you think about this?  Are you surprised about where this source falls on the media Bias Chart? ( one paragraph)
Part 2) Next, find a major story on that site.  Now choose a different new source, one that is to the left or right of your original source.  Locate a story on the SAME topic.  How do they compare? The headlines?  The tone of the Story?  Do you notice any differences?  Length of story, sources quoted.  Do the different sources FRAME the story differently? ( 1-2 paragraphs)
Conclusion– overall reflection on the sources and what you learned (1 paragraph)
BE SURE TO CHOOSE A STORY RELEVANT TO AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS!  Something about the election, Climate Change or another POLICY issue, Coverage of Trump’s trials ( his first criminal trial in NYC just started).  Anything is fine as long as it is related to government, politics or policy.
Also be sure to choose a source that generally covers NEWS.  For example DO NOT choose a site like TMZ which usually covers CELEBRITY new and occasionally has a “hard” news story.
