This is an individual task to develop a warning message to the public based upon the scenario. The warning message should be developed using course resources. The task is twofold:
Develop the specific message that would be released through the media and announced by the PIO. (Consider what does the public need to know? and what do you need them to do?) (make sure you use course resources on message mapping and the research on warning messages – Week #4).
Write a 1-2 page explanation of the warning message you constructed. Cite course materials from the syllabus concerning the development of warning messages.
Upload a word or PDF file to the assignment folder that contains both the specific warning message and the 1-2 page explanation (4.5 points).
Week #4 and Week #6 Course Materials and Syllabus Readings.
