Focus of the Final Paper

For the final paper you will analyze the response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina. Your analysis must include:

• A summary of each disaster with a focus on the psychological symptoms victims experienced from each disaster
• An explanation of at least three resources available to treat and assist victims from each disaster (e.g., local, state, federal, and/or non-profit organizational resources. Did the Red Cross or FEMA provide resources to victims to aid in their recovery?)
• An analysis of the long term effects these disasters had on victims and rescue workers’ mental health and overall well-being
• An assessment of how these disasters affected children versus adults
• An assessment of the role the media played in either agitating the psychological symptoms victims experienced from these disasters or helping to reduce the symptoms
