sGroup Members: Roger, Joo Hyun, Mitchell Issue: Natural Disasters Prevention and Mitigation Topic: Earthquakes in Japan Period: Humanities 2 (Ms. Muench) **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 your wiki.//
 * Part One: Developing Your Action Plan**

Your action plan should include the following

1. The name of your organization: J.E.M.O.S. Japanese Earthquake Mitigation Organization for Students

2. Your specific topic: Our specific topic is preventing and/or mitigating Earthquakes in Japan. 3. The purpose- Why are you doing this action? Earthquakes are one of the most devastating natural disasters in the world. Earthquakes kill as many as 1,000 to 100,000 people every time it strikes. Earthquakes also destroy countless homes, and offices in it's path. Japan is basically a fault itself, meaning that every year Japan is pummeled with countless Earthquakes. J.E.M.O.S. is and organization dedicated to researching a possible solution to predicting when an Earthquake will strike, or a way to mitigate the effects of an Earthquake.

3. The message- Why should people be informed about this issue?People should aware of this issue because Earthquakes are one of the most devastating natural disasters that causes 1,000 to 100,000 deaths. People should be informed of how to avoid the worst case scenario and how to avoid getting injured in an earthquake.

4. A goal- make sure this is a project that can be done and hopefully continued Our goal for this project is to inform people the disastrous effects of earthquakes so that there would be less victims. Also we are going to teach the people a way to avoid injury during an Earthquake, and what to do in an Earthquake. Also, we want to raise awareness about the effects of an Earthquake so people know what to expect, or they may donate to our cause.

5. 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) J.E.M.O.S' short term goal is to establish connections to other schools, as well as our own, so we could start fund-raisers to donate to other organizations, for example NEES, and also to raise awarness of Earthquakes in those schools.

6. A long-term plan for achieving your goal After raising enough money (and this would be after years of fund-raising and donations) we might be able to build a museum full of activities for kids and information on how destructive an Earthquake can be, and the results of different kinds of Earthquakes.

7. Resources needed for this action plana. information from NEES (it-support@nees.org ) b. a building company (if possible) c. both SAS' principals approval of the plan and agree to let us have a "class" about our topic during advisory or other classes d. other school's approval (Concordia, BISS, and others) to let us have a "class"
