Description
This unit is an introductory course whose main aim is to broaden your
understanding and perspective of oral literature through studying the oral literature
of your community and that of other East African communities. I am aware that,
by now, most of you are exposed to some oral literature both through formal
education and also through contact with the material as is practiced and performed
within your own communities. However, I am also aware that due to various
influences, students are not able to fully appreciate the multidimensionality of the
oral literature discipline and more so its significance in literary studies. This course
is thus designed so that your understanding of the subject becomes broadened and
that you are able to appreciate: (a), the place of oral literature within the wider
literary studies and African literature in particular. Oral literature needs to be
recognised as a unique form of literary expression, exhibiting imaginative and
creative dimensions that enrich the study of African literature; (b) the place of oral
literature within the rich heritage of the African Oral traditions; (c) the place of
oral literature in the rediscovery of African cultural heritage eclipsed by
unfavorable historical circumstances and (d) the place of oral literature within the
Contemporary written African literary tradition

COMMUNICATING IN AN EMERGENCY
Introduction in an Emergency
During an incident, communication with the community becomes especially critical. Emergency communications may include alerts and warnings; directives about evacuation, curfews, and
other self-protective actions; and information about response status, family members, available assistance, and other matters that impact response and recovery. Well-conceived and effectively delivered emergency messages can help ensure public safety, protect property, facilitate response efforts, elicit cooperation, instill public confidence, and help families reunite.
