Answer & Explanation

select one type of natural disaster (i.e., flooding, earthquake, wildfires, etc.). Imagine that the natural disaster you selected just struck your community, and it appears Federal assistance is necessary for disaster response and recovery efforts. You are charged with overseeing the IDA. What type of assessment/s (i.e., windshield survey, etc.) would you use? When considering the type/s of assessments, think about the debris and encumbrances you are likely to encounter. This should help you select the appropriate assessments needed to collect the data required for your IDA. In your post, justify why you chose the particular assessment methods and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each method you selected. If you live outside of the United States, select a city within the United States that you are familiar with, such as your hometown, to use for this assignment.
