Crises can surface at any time and with little or no notice. Analyzing historical cases on successful and unsuccessful case studies can identify trends and lessons learned that are useful for crisis management program improvement.
For this assignment, you will conduct a case study of a specific crisis event, such as Hurricane Ian, Hurricane Nicole, or the 2022 floods in Eastern Kentucky.
This exercise affords an opportunity to analyze a singular and specific crisis event in relation to crisis management concepts. In addition, you will conduct your own research to identify scholarly and high-quality sources for the crisis event you have chosen.
