This week working on the Problem Solving Task force was a little bit of a crazy project. I feel like we were just thrown into the project and had to figure out what to do on our own. It was hard to figure out what to do within fifteen minutes. We only had fifteen minutes to meet with our group face to face. This meant that we not only hdad to figure out how to solve the problem, but we also had to organize ourselves so that we could present to the class. Luckily in my goup everyone stayed on task and we were able to figure out what we wanted to do, as well as give each other our contact information. I think that the goal was to make the situation as real life as possible, but I feel like even in a real crisis a group would have a little longer than fifteen minutes. Even with the short time period I feel that our group was successful with our presentation. Everyone did a good job with their part and we all worked well together for not have ever working together. The project was a good learning experience, however I felt that it was just a little rushed.
The Guardians of B230 had a eventless week. This next week we will be advertising for our event and posting flyers and making announcements. Hopefully the word about our project gets out and we can collect alot of cell phones for the YWCA.

Absolutely, organizations have a little more expertise and more resources to work with in a crisis - not necessary more time. Most organizatios send out a press release within three hours after a crisis happens and have their CEO on site within 12 hours. But I agree, what our class lacks is the experience and the knowledge to prepare for a crisis. But overall, I think everyone did a great job.
