Description
or this assignment, you are essentially doing the first three elements of your research paper outlined below. The length of this document should range from five (5) to nine (9) pages in length. Be sure to include your reference list and to properly cite sources in APA throughout your paper.
Title Page of the Paper: The title of your paper should be brief but should adequately inform the reader of your general topic and the specific focus of your research. Keywords relating to parameters, population, and other specifics are useful. The Title Page must include the title, name, course name and number, and Professor’s Name. (Title of the paper will be Emergency Management and Response)
Introduction, Research Question, and Hypothesis: This section shall provide an overview of the topic that you are writing about, a concise synopsis of the issues, and why the topic presents a “puzzle” that prompts your research questions, which you will include. This section will be 1-2 pages. End your introduction with your research question.
Review of the Literature: All research projects include a literature review to set out for the reader what knowledge exists on the subject under study and helps the researcher develop the research strategy to use in the study. A good literature review is a thoughtful study of what has been written, a summary of the arguments that exist (whether you agree with them or not), arranged thematically. At the end of the summary, there should still be gaps in the literature that you intend to fill with your research. It is written in narrative format and can be from 4-6 pages depending on the scope and length of the paper.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSE
Introduction
Emergency Management and Response offer a method for comprehending the
vulnerabilities and risks of an area, as well as determining the course of actions which may be
used in minimizing future destruction of property and loss of life in case a disaster occurs
(Burby, 2006). Based upon the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 that mandated pre-disaster
planning to control and minimize the disaster assistance cost, emergency management and
response is also a federal requirement. This Act encompasses the requirements which the
local and state governments have an approved strategy or plan of hazard mitigation and
emergency management and response which should be updated after every 5 years to be able
to apply for and get federal grant finances via any assistance programs of the hazard
mitigation. In 2015, California restructured and updated its local plan for multi-hazard
mitigation. On 1st August 2016, the document was officially and formally adopted
(Campanella, 2006). The offices of the Hazard Mitigation prepares yearly reports as part of
documentation and ongoing review process to summarize important activities and actions
which affect both execution of current mitigation project and future efforts of planning. This
paper intends to examine the emergency management and response as well as well hazard
mitigation plan in the United States, especially California.
Research Questions and Hypothesis:
In carry out this research, the following research questions will be used:
•
What are the different hazards are likely to take place in California?
•
Are occurrences highlight the pressing need of prioritizing maintenance of the
existing stormwater drainage system of the City and proceed to execute projects of
new drainage maintenance that include green infrastructure projects integration and
upgrades to the existing grey infrastructures?

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSE
•
Are the efforts of planning for mitigation of wind already put into an account for
tropical tornados as well as cyclones, nevertheless, the intensities and frequencies of
such occurrences are trending higher that drive a need to continuous education and
prioritization?
Review of the Literature
There are various hazards which are likely to take place in California that includes
fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, floods, thunderstorm wind, tornado and hailstones
(Masozera, Bailey, & Kerchner, 2007). California is starting to experience the effects of
higher-volume and more frequent rainfalls related to climatic chang...
