You will assume the role of an employee of an emergency manager at a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help low-income people in rural (country) and urban (city) communities. You will develop a proposal document for your supervisor proposing that the organization adopt a continuity plan. You will need to:
· Briefly explain to them what an organizational continuity program is.
· Convince them that the organization should establish a continuity program.
Your proposal should have sections covering the following topics. Each section should have a unique section header in your paper. So, your paper sections will likely have similar (but not exactly the same) titles as the sections listed below.
In your paper,
· Explain what you will cover in the proposal in your introduction.
· Discuss what a continuity program does in an organization as your background.
· Describe organizational continuity as a concept and a process.;
· Identify some practical considerations relative to your nonprofit in maintaining operations during disasters.
· Identify some ethical considerations relative to your nonprofit in maintaining operations during disasters.
· Explain how social vulnerability is relevant to your stakeholder population (low-income people) during disasters.
· Discuss why your continuity program should avoid relying on disaster myths as the basis for the plan.
· Describe what types of crime increase during disasters that might be expected among your stakeholder population (low-income people).;
· Examine mental health considerations that might be relevant to your stakeholder population during disasters.
· Review what was covered as your conclusion.
· Synthesize your key topics from the proposal.
Overall, your goal is to justify the need for a continuity program at your nonprofit. The continuity program ensures that your organization maintains operations during a disaster and continues to assist its target stakeholders (low-income communities) facing the same disaster your nonprofit is facing.
