Read the Orlando Marathon Case Study
, found in this week’s module. Then respond to the following questions by due date listed in the syllabus:
- Consider the responsibilities of risk management programs and risk in volunteer management. What steps should be taken to prepare for the event in compliance with the responsibilities of risk management programs and in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon events. Assume that terrorism threats on this event would be extremely heightened.
- What are all of the risks that you need to consider for the organization and for volunteers?
- In what ways would you approach each of these risks? (Think about elimination, reduction, assumption, transfer, etc). Explain your rationale.
By the Saturday following the due date listed on the syllabus at 11:59pm, respond to at least 1 other student. Do you agree with the steps they selected to prepare for the event? Are there risks they did not identify that should be included?
