Routine vs. Critical Incident Presentation

Prepare a 10- to 12- slide presentation describing the difference between routine and critical incidents.

Choose five (5) incidents, with at least two from your area, and label each as a routine or a critical incident.

Answer the following questions within the notes for each incident:

What was the nature and cause of the incident?
Who were the responders to the incident and how did they overcome the incident?
How long did it take to respond and recover from the incident?
Who was affected by the incident? Local residents, business, community, state, nation, world?
Did the incident attract a media response and if so, was the media localized, national, or global?
Do you feel the response was a success or needed improvement? Why?

Summarize in a concluding slide(s) the factors that differentiate a routine from a critical incident. Use the five incidents as examples.

Format your slides consistent with APA guidelines.
