Upcoming assignments will be listed here.

Week One:

• Post a brief overview of your background, interest or experience with focus on the course topics, and what you hope to accomplish in the course.

Week Two:

• Chapters #2 and # 3 from John M. Brown, Critical Incident Process.
• Office of Justice Programs report on Crisis Management which can be obtained at their website.
• Consider how previous disasters or critical incidents have formulated some of the current thinking on how emergency responses are made.
