Green Light System: Mitigating Disaster Scenarios
Not what you're looking for?
Apply the Green Light System to a disaster scenario of your choice and describe how it would be used to manage the crisis. You can pick a real-life disaster, such as Katrina or 9/11, a personal disaster from your own life (your car breaking down in the middle of nowhere, for example), or a fictional scenario such as a zombie apocalypse.
For any situation you choose, apply the Green Light System in a realistic way and provide details on how you would gather the necessary data regarding your primary resources, how you would determine the status of the resource (the light color), and how you would maintain a line of communication to keep the Green Light charts accurate.
Start your discussion when the crisis started (let's consider that Zero Hour, when the clock starts ticking) to the end-result (recovery). Additionally, think through the application of Bloom's Taxonomy and describe how each step could be used to analyze the disaster event you chose.
