Columbine high school mass shooting discussion post

Hi I need help writing a discussion post I will post instructions below

For this week’s discussion, we will be looking at local or national response protocols that were initiated during a disaster

(Searching “after action report” for your disaster will assist you in answering all of the questions.)

In your initial post, describe the incident and address the following:

• Determine the incident type and explain your reasoning (types of incidents can be found here https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents…

TOPIC: Columbine high school mass shooting

• What resources were deployed for this incident?
• What protocols were implemented successfully during the incident, and which were unsuccessful?
• Discuss ways to improve the response to this type of incident in the future.

Support your answer with evidence from scholarly sources (reference and cite your sources).

Per FEMA: Emergency vs. Disaster

The terms emergency and disaster are often used interchangeably. This common use of terms can be confusing. It is easiest to understand the terms emergency and disaster as being at two ends of a scale, in which the size of an incident and the resources to deal with the incident are matched to varying degrees. Emergency at one end of the spectrum, emergencies are generally small-scale, localized incidents that are resolved quickly using local resources. However, small-scale emergencies can escalate into disasters when there has been inadequate planning and wasteful use of resources. At the other end of the spectrum, disasters are typically large-scale and cross geographic, political, and academic boundaries. Disasters require a level of response and recovery greater than local communities can provide.
