Action Plan

Organization and Action Plan Brainstorm

Now that you have completed a case study it is time for you to create your own organization and an action plan for your topic! Fill in the information below and post the document on you Wiki.

Part One: Developing Your Action Plan

Your action plan should include the following:

1. The name of your organization

MM (Mudflows Mitigation)


 * - Charles and Dylan**

2. Your specific topic

Our specific topic is prevention and mitigation of landslides and mudflows around the world.


 * - Charles and Dylan**

3. The purpose- Why are you doing this action?

We are doing helping prevent and mitigate landslides and mudflows because landslides and mudflows are easily caused by other more common disasters such as floods and might also be caused by the carelessness of a random person. And that not many people take it seriously, they don't even consider the possibilities of a death by crushing or suffocation under tons of earth a threat.


 * - Dylan**

4. The message- Why should people be informed about this issue?

People should be informed about the destruction of landslides and mudflows because not many people know about how landslides and mudflows happen and the damages they cause. They cause a lot of damages and kill many people. People should be informed about this issue so that they can help with the prevention and mitigation of landslides and mudlflows so then people around the world will be more prepared for landslides and mudflows and so we can save those already affected by these natural disasters.

5. A goal- make sure this is a project that can be done and hopefully continued

Our team's goal is to make at least 3 emergency landslide kits (or at least earn enough money to buy the materials for the kits) so we can donate them and the idea to organizations within the range of a city that is in risk of landslides or mudflows. Each emergency kit will include 2 packets of crackers, 2 bottles of mineral water, a flashlight (batteries not included), 2 pairs of batteries, and a travel blanket. The crackers and water for food supply, the flashlight in case the landslide prevents light from accessing the area, batteries for the flashlight, and the travel blanket in case overnight you have to stay under the rocks. (This emergency kit will only work if you are not killed by the disaster, just if you are in a house with the doors and windows locked because of the rocks or mud outside or if you some how miraculously survive because the rocks around you actually form a dome or shelter. Or if you are locked in a emergency shelter and have no supplies.) We will also ask for emergency kits to be placed in emergency brigades, each building must also have a few emergency kits.

6. A short-term plan for achieving your goal (keep it simple and don’t be too ambitious- again make sure you CAN actually do this)

1. Raise money to donate to organizations that help with the prevention and mitigation of landslides and mudflows 2. Educate people about the damages that landslides and mudflows cause. 3. Get people interested in the cause with posters, announcements etc. 4. Form a group based on the prevention and mitigation of landslides and mudflows.

7. A long-term plan for achieving your goal

1. Continue to raise money for donation to organizations. 2. Work with organizations that help with the prevention and mitigation of landslides and mudflows. 3. If there is an age minimum to work with organizations, then convince people that are above that age to contribute to the cause.
