Discussion question

Hello,

I need help with writing an answer for this discussion, it has two parts, the answer for the first part depends on the scenario exercise. The second part depends on THIRA or HVA’s in my community area (Maryland), and then use discussion-based and operations-based exercises.

Here is the question and the assigned reading:

This week’s Discussion Board topics allow you to explore who are critical stakeholders to consider in exercise planning and to create an outline for an exercise series based on the risks and hazards where you live or work.

• Discuss different stakeholders and why it is important for them to participate in different steps of exercise design, conduct, evaluation, and improvement: Choose between a list of possible stakeholders
• Discuss exercise topics based on THIRA or HVA’s in your communities and outline a discussion-based and operations-based exercise series based on one of those threats or risks
