APA Country Research Paper
Instructions and Format
Disaster Management in Developed, Developing, and
Under-Developed Countries
During the course of the semester you will each write a 8-10 page research
paper on disaster management in a developed, developing, or under-developed
country. Your research paper should be a comprehensive study of disaster
management in your chosen country. Pre-research the country of your interest to
make sure they have a disaster management scheme in place. Make sure to
carefully research your paper using peer-reviewed journals and widely published
data. APA Style applies: Cover page, running heads, Times New
Roman Font, Size 12, double spacing, etc. Pay attention to
organization, e.g.: subheadings, narrative flow, etc. The
page count does not include covers or References sections.
Note, you should have
chosen this country at the beginning of the semester. Remember, no mention of
the United States in your paper. Again, my international students should have
chosen countries other than their country of origin.
Content
The report and presentation should include the following for your study:
• The rationale and history behind that country’s organizational approach to
disaster management (Why is disaster management in that country organized the
way it is?)
• The implementation pattern that applies (top-down, bottom-up, or confused)
(Are response and recovery actions triggered by the national government or by
local government?)
• Disaster Hazards and Planning: What kinds of disasters is your country prone
to? What disasters have they planned for?
• Participants in that country’s disaster management (Who participates in the
process? Governmental agencies NGOs? Military? International Organizations?)
• Potential Obstacles to Effective Disaster Management
• How Disasters have shaped Disaster Management Planning and Policy in that
country today
• References: A minimum of 4 sources should be used
