Learning Goals
Students will be able to analyze local hazard maps, alerts, and mitigation plans to identify the most likely emergencies affecting Fort Bragg and explain why those risks matter for families and schools.
Students will be able to describe emergency preparedness plan types and compare how earthquake, tsunami, flood, wildfire, and extended power outage plans change based on scenario-specific needs.
Students will be able to interview community partners and synthesize firsthand evidence about emergency response roles, supplies, and procedures into user-centered preparedness decisions.
Students will be able to define a clear, evidence-based emergency planning problem for a chosen scenario by identifying the needs of teens, families, and responders.
Students will be able to prototype a labeled go-bag, first-aid/survival kit, and backup communication message that respond to the constraints of a chosen emergency scenario.
Students will be able to test and refine an emergency plan using drill results, feedback from peers and community partners, and evidence of what fails under pressure.
Students will be able to justify design tradeoffs in an emergency readiness solution by explaining how their choices improve safety, feasibility, and communication for the chosen scenario.
Products
Scenario-Specific Emergency Research Brief and Prototype Kit Concept Sheet
Each student investigates one emergency scenario and produces a research brief based on firsthand and local evidence, then designs an individual prototype for a realistic emergency kit and communication tool. The product must show how the student’s choices respond to user needs, local risk, and scenario constraints.
Community Emergency Preparedness Plan and Testable Prototype Presentation
Teams combine individual research and prototypes to create a shared problem statement plus a higher-fidelity emergency solution for authentic stakeholders. The final product includes a revised preparedness plan, collaborative prototype, and presentation that explains how user evidence and testing shaped the design.
