Mental health professionals hold grand rounds events to maintain their current knowledge of health care practices and to consult with colleagues on particularly difficult cases. During these professional events, mental health professionals sometimes present a case and seek feedback from peers regarding conceptualization and treatment of a patients problems. This interactive assignment is an opportunity to simulate a grand rounds event.For your initial post in this forum, you will provide written feedback regarding your colleagues presentation and questions.

In New York City on July 13, 1977, more than 9 million people went without power for 25 hours after lightning struck power lines upstate. An ineffective hazard plan resulted in city-wide looting, millions of dollars in destroyed businesses due to arsons, and over 3,700 arrests. Using the South University Online Library, research this event and learn about the shortcomings in the response to the crisis. Access a copy of your local community’s hazard plan from your local office of emergency management website. In most cases, this function is handled by the county government. If your particular county does not make such a plan available, locate one from a nearby county. Use it as a guide to help you create a hazard plan to address a blackout incident in your city today. Include the following in your plan: Determine the technical hazards that are covered in the plan. Describe the measures you would take to address a city-wide blackout and other potential technical hazards.
