Investigate the effect of events on vulnerable populations. The events may include a flood, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, or other man-made or natural disasters that affect a large group of vulnerable individuals.

Select a natural or man-made event and how that event could affect the vulnerable populations you chose to focus on for your project in the course. You may choose a local or national event that has actually occurred OR you may design your own event.

Write details of the event history – what happened, when, other circumstances of the event that are important.

Then, put down short summary of how the vulnerable group you selected could be specifically affected by that disaster event.

What is the important thing that you learned about the relationship and differences between the concept of correlation and causality? What did you understand least about each of these concepts?

Explain the difference between micronutrients and macro nutrients. What role do micronutrients play in maintaining in optimizing health and performance? What are common micronutrient deficiencies seen in athletes?
