ase Study: Strategic National Stockpile
After viewing the lecture for this week and reviewing your readings, you should now be more familiar with the strategic national stockpile. While we have been seeing the national response to COVID-19, we have seen an influx of misinformation around the stockpile across media platforms.
For your case study assignment this week you are to write four short paragraphs – a one page in total (approx 500 words) response to the following questions: I am not looking for one or two sentence responses to these questions, but rather a well researched/thought out answer. Please include your references at the end and in text citations if they apply.
1. What is the strategic national stockpile designed to do?
2. How did this purpose differ in response to COVID-19?
3. What are some of the shortcomings coming to light in the midst of an event like COVID-19 related to how the stockpile is designed?
4. Provide your thoughts for how to further improve this in the future.
