Focus points of the research paper:

• public health planning for the emergency,
• EMS response for the emergency (identify any legal, political, and regulatory responsibilities for EMS during the response),

• community recovery from the emergency.

Your research paper should include the following components:

• title page,

Although required, the title and reference page do not count toward your final page total. You must create a minimum of four new pages of content. Your research paper must have at least five relevant and credible sources. Your textbook is NOT required for this assignment, although you may choose to use it when discussing concepts that apply to your topic. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted materials must have accompanying citations in accordance with APA standards.
