Identify a previous disaster and describe the events that led to that disaster. The scale of the disaster (e.g., the lives lost) does not matter, but focus on the failures and successes of the system in assessing risk.
- Concentrate on the agencies that should have been involved and critique their actions. At this point, you are not required to fully identify the steps of risk assessment, but you should be able to identify agencies and whether they followed their policies, strategies, and structures.
