Review the Riverbend City: Social Work and Disaster multimedia simulation before proceeding with this assignment.
In this assignment, you will take on the role of Red Cross Disaster Program Manager (DPM) for a recent flood that occurred in Riverbend City, which you learned about earlier in the course in the Riverbend City: Cultural Aspects of Disaster piece. Your task is to create a strategic plan in response to the needs of stakeholders who are involved in the crisis response.
Instructions
Using the Riverbend City: Social Work and Disaster simulation, write a 10–12 page paper where you will share your plans for responding to the needs of the meeting participants. You will begin by sharing your theoretical framework(s) for managing crises and natural disasters on both local, national, and international levels.
Explain how your framework(s) address micro, mezzo, macro, and meta levels of practice.
Then you will list the needs you are to address and apply social work skills and knowledge to perform each. Pay attention to the Skills and Abilities section above when devising plans to address each of the needs.
Using your text and readings in this week, justify your decisions based on scholarly material. So, for each need you should include your strategic plan, your goals and objectives, the social work skills and knowledge needed to achieve your plan, and the justification for your plan based on the scholarly research.
Finally, you will evaluate any ethical dilemmas that might arise in your planning based on competing needs of various citizen populations, social service agency agendas, and financial constraints.
