Overview
Crises and disasters come in a variety of forms: physical, social, financial, and political. Disasters can be both natural and man-made. When the crisis or disaster impacts your community and you are a community agency director who is well connected with other social service agencies, you would be expected to use your agency services and resources to aid in crisis management and recovery.
Preparation
Select a community crisis or disaster in your area. Focus on micro- and mezzo-level practice.
Research the literature to find 6–8 scholarly articles published within the last five to seven years to identify social work services that you might provide through your agency to the community and, as a leader, recommend best practices to address micro- and mezzo-level needs of community members and agency workers.
