Risk Communication

I’m trying to study for my Law course and I need some help to understand this question.

Discussion post: For purposes of this discussion, assume you have just accepted the position of city emergency manager. As you are reviewing documents, you discover that your city’s communication risk plan has not been evaluated in 10 years. The city is currently experiencing financial hardship and there is no money in the budget for an evaluation. You will be meeting with the city council the following week to discuss the budget.

For your main post, explain how you will convince the council that it is necessary to allocate additional funding to complete an evaluation of the communication risk plan. In this time of extreme financial hardship, why is it important to evaluate the plan?

Additionally, research your state or city (phoenix, az) department of emergency management. Identify these departments and include their total yearly budgets. This information is a public record. If you are not able to secure the information using an Internet search, select a different venue. Based on the information you locate, address the following:

• Do you feel this budget is adequate?
• Why or why not?
• What would you do differently in the budget as far as placement of monies for resources?
• please include scholarly resources (chapter from book attached
