help with project
i added a file thats my paper for this
For this assignment, you will build off of the information that you provided in the assignments for Units IV and VI to compose a 20- to 25-slide PowerPoint presentation. Your presentation should present your briefing of the hypothetical terrorist incident that you selected in Unit IV. Make certain to include the following elements in your presentation:
- Include an executive summary.
- The summary should be a high-level briefing or overview of your selected critical infrastructure and the type of hypothetical terrorist incident that has taken place. This should be written to briefly capture who, what, when, where, why, and how.
- Provide an overview of the targeted location.
- Incorporating your Unit IV Project Topic, discuss the location that was attacked, the significance of the location to the critical infrastructure, why the location was vulnerable, and why the location was targeted.
- Provide an overview of the attack methods used in the incident.
- Discuss the hypothetical attack and the specific attack methods that were employed.
- Explain the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved.
- Outline the roles and responsibilities of various federal, state, and local agencies and governmental and non-governmental homeland security personnel that should be involved in prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery of and from your chosen incident.
- Discuss why it is important to protect critical infrastructure/high-value targets.
- Identify the response plan’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) by creating a SWOT analysis.
- What are the strengths of the critical infrastructure in regard to its stability against terrorist incidents? What weaknesses or vulnerabilities did you find with the critical infrastructure? What opportunities do you see for the future to prevent similar incidents from happening? What threats to the critical infrastructure still exist?
- Include a conclusion.
- Develop a brief conclusion that addresses the overall value of this type of exercise as it relates to your current or desired position.
For additional guidance on how to perform and format a SWOT analysis, refer to the example on the webpage below, which shows how to present the information in a bulleted list:
Mind Tools. (n.d.). SWOT analysis: Discover new opportunities, manage and eliminate threats. Retrieved from http://www.mindtools.com/
Since you will not be presenting this PowerPoint to your instructor in person, you will need to utilize the slide notes function to further explain the contents of your slides. Bold, italicized, or underlined text should be used sparingly on slides in order to maximize the prominence of key points. Each slide should address a single concept, and slides should follow a logical progression, each building on the other.
Provide in-text citations and a reference slide for any outside sources that are used, including direct quotations, paraphrased words or ideas, tables, data, and images. The title and reference slides are not included in the required slide count.
Resources
The following resource(s) may help you with this assignment.
In Unit VII, you will develop your final presentation, which will be focused on the protection of a selected critical infrastructure from a terrorist incident. The two parts in this assignment will work as the foundation for the Unit VII Course Project.
Part 1: Project Topic
Select the critical infrastructure for which you will develop your plan; you can use the same critical infrastructure that you used for your Unit II Project, or you can select a different critical infrastructure that is briefed on the webpage below:
U.S. Department of Homeland Security. (n.d.). Critical infrastructure sectors. Retrieved from https://www.dhs.gov/critical-
After selecting a critical infrastructure, develop a brief essay that meets the criteria below:
- Provide the background on the selected critical infrastructure/target. Please describe the infrastructure in your own words; do not copy the description from the webpage.
- Provide examples of potential targets (e.g., a power supply plant, water resources, a military base, a shopping mall, a full stadium during an event, government buildings, an airport, a city center).
- Briefly explain why the location is vulnerable to an attack.
- Discuss what type of terrorist event will hypothetically take place at the critical infrastructure. You can select any type of terrorist event that has been discussed in this course. Some examples include chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) events. If you select a chemical or biological agent, be specific, and name the agent that the terrorist(s) will use in the hypothetical scenario.
- Identify the federal, state, and local agencies that will be activated in response to your incident, and briefly summarize their roles and responsibilities in terrorism planning and preparedness.
- Identify the homeland security programs that should be involved in planning the response to the incident.
Your essay should be at least one page in length.
Part 2: Annotated Bibliography
In the same document, provide an annotated bibliography, which summarizes at least three scholarly resources that will be used for your Unit VII Course Project.
An annotated bibliography lists citations of books, articles, and/or documents. Each citation is followed by a descriptive and evaluative paragraph that identifies what the resource is about and why it is of value to your research; this is called the annotation, which can contain 100-150 words. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. The annotated bibliography will help you to organize your sources that will be used for your final presentation due in Unit VII. Each annotated bibliography entry consists of two parts: the APA-formatted reference citation followed by the summary for that reference.
The annotated bibliography should be at least 2 pages in length.
You are encouraged to view the annotated bibliography presentation linked below, which shows how an annotated bibliography should be formatted:
Columbia Southern University. (n.d.). Annotated bibliographies: How to write an effective annotated bibliography. Retrieved from https://columbiasouthern.
Parts 1 and 2 should be combined into one document (minimum three pages), which you will submit in Blackboard.
