explore the two “case studies” on the 1927 Flood and 2017 Hurricane and the approaches to federal interventions in both. In order to successfully complete this discussion, you will need to complete the following tasks using the criteria outlined below: After reading and watching this week’s materials, choose at lease one of the following questions, and respond in your post: 1.

What should the role of the federal (national) government be in a disaster? 4.Is it just for the government to expect that citizens take a role in recovery, regardless of how dire their circumstance? 5.What solutions might be more equitable and balanced to respond to and recover from disaster?
