II. Task 2 (3000 words - 25 MAY- 10 JUN)
The topic for this Major assignment has a focus on the measurement of disaster resilience in a community.
Details of task:
There is only ONE topic for this major assignment. However, the topic is in three parts.
Part 1:
Review the Characteristics of a Disaster Resilient Community, using the Australian National Strategy for Disaster Resilience and the key references in Sector B. Select and justify what you feel are the 6 key characteristics of a Disaster Resilient Community.
Part 2:
Compare and contrast 3 of the models for measuring disaster resilience in a community which were outlined in Sector C ie Torrens Institute Model, cutter's Model and the ‘PEOPLES’ Model. Identify:
a. The strengths and weaknesses of each of the 3 models chosen;
b. Which model best reflects the 6 key characteristics of a Disaster Resilient Community that you identified in Part 1 and then use this chosen model in Part 3.
Part 3:
Using the Model you chose in Part 2, suggest how you would implement that model to measure disaster resilience in EITHER:
a) The communities affected by the Victorian Floods of 2010/11 (Comrie report)
