Assignment Preparatory Activity 4.3

If you examine the assignment requirements for Assignment 2, you will notice that we require you to do a Potential Problem Analysis (PPA) relating to a hazard/ hazards that will impact upon your chosen community. This is the first stage in developing your emergency management plan for your selected community.

What I would like you to do now is review the PPA process that we have examined and worked through in this topic and start working on your own PPA. Of course, as stated earlier, we expect you to involve your planning committee/ group in the development of the PPA, however you can commence now, before your next planning group meeting, so that you are able to provide them with an example of what you will be doing together. This will act as not only a starting point for you and your committee, but will act as a teaching aid for you when you explain the PPA process to the planning committee/ group.
