Read Appendix 6 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Appendix 7 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. from Failure of Initiative: Final Report of the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation and Response to Hurricane Katrina. Reflect on these two appendices and write a 500-word summary of the differing perspectives and the finger-pointing involved in the post-disaster response. Offer some suggestions, based on what you learned in this course, on how conflicts among responding organizations could have been better managed, with a focus on psychological aspects of cooperation, including preparedness as a state of mind. http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/katrina/appendix7.pdf Appendix 6: http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/katrina/appendix6.pdf
