You are the emergency manager in a city with a population of 250,000 in the western United States. The director of economic development has asked for your assistance in creating his strategic plan. In terms of CIKR, an asset is a person, facility structure, facility, information, material, or process that has value. In an informational memorandum of 750–1,000 words, describe and explain to your city’s director of economic development how you would assess the value of the 5 most critical assets in your city. You should ensure that you fully explain the term because the director may not fully understand how emergency managers use or apply the concept.
