VI. Accountability and Control System, How to Control the Policy Implementation that may Occur Hazards and also Accountability in the Process of
Policy Implementation Best efforts to overcome forest and land fire through preventing before it occurs, minimizing the impact, and minimizing forest
and land fire extension area. According to Ministry for National and Development Planning, there are three things that need to be done first to prevent
forest fires and land. First, reviewing the business permits that have been issued by the Government for forestry and plantation; second enforcing on
business compliance with regulations and policies related to efforts to control land and forest fire; and third the need for an early warning system
(EWS) in the prevention and control of forest and land fire. Early Warning System (EWS) on prevention and control of forest and land fire is a system
that contains information about the potential or predictions related to land and forest fires in one location at a certain time. This system has been
developed by various agencies with a variety of methods. But the most important thing and should be encouraged is the implementation of the use of
such information at the site level by local governments and communities. Each of ministry and agency independently has made efforts to control forest

On December 24th, 2004, the elephants in Sri Lanka's National Park began to act "...strangely by trumpeting loudly and charging away from the ocean
and up a nearby hill." (Rust 26) The park keepers did not know why the elephants were upset, or about the approaching tsunami. The elephants sensed
the tsunami before anyone else did, but by then, it was too late. A tsunami struck the coast later that day and caused massive destruction. Fortunately,
the elephants "were not swept away by the water" (Rust 26) and remained "safely on the hill" (Rust 26)

Early Warning Systems for Officer Performance Paper
1. Introduction
An early warning system is a kind of system which is in form of data–base. It a police management data tool which is used to identify police officers
whose behavior is not in line to best practices (Walker, Alpert, & Kenney, 2000). The main objective of this systems is to rectify police officer who are
not behaving well or are not performing their duties as expected. An early response to such behaviors is required before a disciplinary action is taken
against them. Such a system is used to warn them law breakers as well as alerting the management of such indiscipline actions for the officers. The
system can go as far as advising on the counselling actions to be undertaken to such indiscipline officers.
In 1999, about 27% of the law enforcement agencies who were serving at least 50,000 persons were operating an early warning system while another
12% were planning to establish one in the coming days. On the other side, studies noted that there was a high likelihood that there an early warning

The Central Park Five
Introduction
Crime, deviance, and unethical conduct can found within almost every occupation and profession. Police ethics is the conduct that everyone is most
concerned with. Police officers enter into an occupation that shares many characteristics of other career fields, but it also has unique responsibilities that
deal with conduct and behavior. The PBS documentary: The Central Park Five, demonstrates two of the most common misconduct issues that the
criminal justice professionals deal with noble cause and noble cause corruption. The film investigates the miscarriage of justice of four Black and one
Latino teenager from Harlem, who were wrongly convicted of the brutal beating and rape of a white woman in New York City's Central Park.
The Police Perspective
When this Central park case was made public, the New York Police Department and District Attorney office's main focus was to solve the case as
quickly as possible. When the five teenagers were found "wilding" in the park the night of the women's death, the police believed they had found the
suspects. The police were so confident of the teenager's guiltiness, the five boys were interrogated of their involvement in the crime. The police used
their authority and persuasion to get the boys to confess and promise them that they would go home if they talked. Through strenuous and intense
interrogation, the five boys confessed to the killing and rape of the young women on videotape. These confessions were given even though

Tsunamis Essay
Environmental Science
Tsunamis
A tsunami (soo–NAH–mee) is a series of waves that occur in an ocean or other large body of water and that are caused by some activity that displaces
big amounts of water. Tsunami is the Japanese word for "harbor wave."
Earthquakes that occur on the seafloor or in coastal areas usually cause tsunamis.
The energy generated by the earthquake is transmitted through the water. In deep oceans the energy in these seismic sea waves can travel virtually
unnoticed because the wave height may be only twelve inches. When this energy reaches the shallow waters of coastlines, bays, or harbors, it forces the
water into a giant wave. Some ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Fishermen twenty miles out to sea didn't notice the wave pass under their boats because it only had a height at the time of about fifteen inches. They
were totally unprepared for the devastation that awaited them when they returned to the port of
Sanriku. Twenty–eight thousand people were killed and 170 miles of coastline were destroyed by the wave that had passed under them.
Tsunamis in deep water can have a wavelength greater than 300 miles (500
2)
kilometers) and a period of about an hour. This is very different from the normal
California tube, which generally has a wavelength of about 300 feet (100 meters) and a time of about ten seconds. (The period of a wave is the time
between two successive waves.) Tsunamis are shallow–water waves, which means that the ratio between water depth and wavelength is very small.
These shallow–water waves move at a speed equal to the square root of the product of the acceleration of gravity (9.8m/s/s) and the water depth.
The deeper the water, the faster and shorter the wave is. For example, when the ocean is
20,000 feet deep, a tsunami travels at 550 miles per hour. At this speed, the wave can compete with a jet airplane, traveling across the ocean in less than
a day.
Another important factor in considering tsunamis is the rate at which they lose energy. Because a wave loses energy at a rate inversely related to its

The Causes And Impacts Of The Natural Disaster In China
The first natural disaster recorded in China was in 1556. It was an earthquake that killed 830,000 people ("Deadliest Earthquake in History Rocks
China."). The most recent natural disaster in China was an earthquake on September 30th, 2017(earthquake.usgs.gov). 451 years later, and China is still
getting natural disasters that are killing thousands of people. The buildings are being rebuilt, people are picking up and moving on, but the disasters
keep coming back, sometimes causing more damage than before. The government just rebuilds the same way, no changes in the structures, just as weak
as they were before. When disaster strikes again, the same buildings fall over and over. According to Corey Flintoff, in an article in which he makes a
valid point, China can't control the disasters that come their way, but they can try to adapt and prepare for the next one. In the beginning of his article,
Flintoff makes the argument that China knows about these natural disasters. They understand that they are located in an area that is prone to natural
disasters, yet when rebuilding, they don't attempt to make these structures more stable and resistant to disasters, such as floods and earthquakes.
According to World UN News Centre," We know that prevention is better than the cure...Yet too often, there is a tendency to defer action until after
disasters occur." China's government doesn't have a big role in dealing with natural hazards, but they should. They have a big military that

Tsunamis: How Oregon Can Better Prepare for Cascadia Essay
Tsunami hazard assessment in Oregon started with an inundation simulation in the Siletz Bay. Various parameters were tested with different inundation
estimates and run–up from past tsunami deposits (Priest, 2001, 55). Inundation maps were then created furthermore in the Oregon Building Code,
Oregon limited construction of new important or hazardous buildings in tsunami inundation zones indicated by the inundation maps. Zones that these
maps are based on use the Cascadia event in 1700 as a "most likely" theoretical situation. The maps show 5 sizes of Cascadia events, ranked like T–

Using paleoseismology, and stochastic area, prediction hazard maps have gotten more accurate and have the potential to save a lot of lives. Another
vital step for preparedness is setting up safe, reliable warning systems and evacuation routes. Warning systems can potentially save more lives and cut
back on damage. There have been three great tsunamis that influenced the creation of tsunami warning systems (Igarashi, 2011, 2044). After the 1946
Aleutian Islands tsunami caused deaths in Hawaii, efforts began to develop a tsunami warning system (Igarashi, 2011, 2043). The tsunami in Chile on
May 22, 1960 turned the United State's warning system into an international system, and the Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, 2004 established a
global tsunami warning system (Igarashi, 2011, 2044). Reliable warning systems complement and further improve the ongoing efforts made for tsunami
preparedness. It is difficult to predict how much damage or loss of life a tsunami can cause since tsunamis themselves are hard to predict (Yong, 2012,
1020), but a new system of tsunami safety can be developed on the basis of lessons taught by past tsunamis (Igarashi, 2011, 2058). The development of
new technology, new techniques, and more quality data allows new warning systems to have faster, more accurate, and reliable detection of earthquakes

'Technology is the best way to reduce the impact of an earthquake' to what extent do you agree with this view? (40 marks)
An earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or
volcanic action. Impacts of an earthquake can include short–term impacts such as fatalities, or long–term impacts such as income lost through lack of
tourism. Technology can be used to predict the likelihood of an earthquake occurring in a particular area, for example by detecting plate movement, and
this can reduce the impacts of an earthquake in return. This essay will discuss whether technology is the best way to reduce the impact of an earthquake
or not.

Tsunamis are usually caused by tectonic displacement of the ocean floor often resulting in an underwater earthquake. This happened on Boxing Day in
2004 in the Indian Ocean where there was a 1000km thrust fault from a release of stress along the constructive–destructive plate boundary. No
technology was in place to detect such a disaster and, although scientists knew a tsunami was likely to hit Southern Asia, most of the warnings were too
late and the first TV broadcasts in Thailand even happened after the waves had hit. Up to 290,000 people were killed and thousands of bodies are still
missing to this day. Since this disaster, a tsunami warning system has been put in place in the Indian Ocean and technology such as this is almost
guaranteed to prevent such a high death toll for the future. There is a strong argument that if such technology was implemented before 2004, then
thousands of lives could have been saved through evacuation and similar measures. Technology is the best way to reduce the impacts of earthquakes
because they can predict a upcoming earthquake, allowing residents of an area time to evacuate to safe land, saving many lives. However, there are
many other ways of reducing the impacts of earthquakes and technology has its limitations.

Physical And Economic Effects Of A Tsunami Causes And Its...
What is a Tsunami?
Tsunamis are dangerous and unpredictable, but what are they? A tsunami is a series of waves generated by disturbances in the body of water. The waves
of a tsunami can reach up to 100 feet, and travel at an average speed of 500 miles per hour, or 805 kilometers an hour.
Causes
Tsunamis can be caused by several different things, including earthquakes, which cause "shoves" from the land, pushing the tsunami forward. They can
also be caused by landslides, which can happen underwater. The sudden movement displaces enough water to start a tsunami. Volcanic eruptions also
cause tsunamis to form, as when they collapse, it displaces the water as well as shaking the ground.
Effects
Tsunamis have horrible physical and economic effects on the places they appear. The waves move fast enough to cause serious damage to the
surrounding area, and the force is strong enough to even rip buildings from their foundations. They have the ability to uproot trees, destroy crops and
natural habitats, and often result in the deaths of citizens due to drowning, or being crushed by debris. The Tsunamis also contaminate water sources,
and cause damages to critical places, such as nuclear plants. The government is also held responsible for repairing the damages, which may cost years
and even billions of dollars. It can also cause a well–kept area to become dirty and cluttered with litter, and the efforts to return it back to its former

Persuasive Essay On Poverty In America
Poverty in America is greatly known all around the world. For many years the nation's education levels of children during school and insurance is a

Abstract
The SAARC region with over a billion populations is contiguous to the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Utilization of ocean
resources for power generation such as tidal, thermal solar and wind for energy, along with other green technologies like seaweed farming and
sustainable fisheries for food would need to be incorporated in a broad framework for the region. Development of ocean–based energy systems can be
integrated with early warning networks linked by satellite which can give a few hours to days warning to help mitigate the severity of natural disasters
on human life. . Some of the calamities of note have been the Tsunami of 2004, Bangladesh and Orissa floods, earthquakes in Nepal and Pakistan, and
recent inundation of Chennai due to weather and bad flood management. A SAARC comprehensive Framework on disaster management was

Early in the morning of December 26, 2004, an earthquake rocked the floor of the Indian Ocean. The 9.1–9.3 magnitude earthquake subsequently
caused a series of catastrophic tsunamis to hit the coasts of Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and South Africa. The destruction was devastating,
causing just under $10 billion in damage and an estimated $7 billion more in humanitarian aid. Although so much aid was sent to the affected areas, ten
years later some of the areas are still suffering from the devastation. Looking back, the main cause of the devastation was the lack of warning systems
in place. Although some places like Indonesia may not have had time to evacuate, many other affected areas had plenty of time but were completely
uninformed, being taken by surprise. Following the tsunami the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System was created and put into place.
A lot can be learned from the lack of warning and preparedness from this disaster in order to better prepare for the future (History.com, Rodgers).

resulting in 10,000 deaths (FOX5). This sounds like a plot for a scary movie, but this is actually a reality. The Oregon Coast in located on a subduction
zone, which makes it very susceptible to major earthquakes and tsunamis. With the Cascadia subduction zone running along he West Coast the threat of
a major tsunami is very real. The scenario mentioned above was based on the rupture located along the Cascadia fault line. This fault system runs ...

Luckily, there was no tsunami, but California and Oregon had waves up to 2.4 m high and obtained at least $10 million in damage (Mueller, 2014,1).
The waves from the tsunami in Japan swept cars, planes, houses, and over 1.5 million tons of Japanese debris into the ocean, which have slowly floated
towards the Unite State's coast. Light objects like bins, balls, and buoys were the first to reach the United States, while large objects like docks took
longer to wash ashore (Mueller, 2014,1). Along with the debris hundreds of organisms have made the long journey across the ocean. Some of theses
organisms are extremely unpredictable and may be invasive (Earth Island Journal). As a result of the destruction of the Fukishima Nuclear Plant, large

Public Education And Community Outreach Programs
There are five strategies that should be established to help mitigate future damage and loss from lahars: 1) public education and community outreach
programs, 2) early warning systems to direct and assist evacuations, 3) avoiding or discouraging expansion in lahar–prone areas through land use
planning, 4) building engineered protection structures to divert and decelerate potential lahars, and 5) funded response and recovery plans in the event
of a disaster. Accomplishing any of the above five strategies requires recognition of any limitations and applicability of the model, accurate perception
and evaluation of the lahar hazard, and thorough planning for various scenarios. It is critical for scientists to be actively engaged and equitable in their
educational, interpretive, and advisory roles with elected officials, emergency managers, and susceptible populace during emergency and
nonemergency situations. The most important hazard mitigation strategy is to inform the community about the risk associated with the nature of the
hazards surrounding their locale, along with educating and motivating them to diminish societal risk by taking risk–reducing action. It is critical for

The Taum Sauk Upper Reservoir Failure Occurred On December
The Taum Sauk Upper Reservoir Failure occurred on December 14, 2005, ironically on the same day the annual drill between Ameren and local

The reservoir failure is classified as a man–made event as it was caused by a failure of the over pumping protective systems which includes pressure

And it involves interaction with familiar faces, tasks, procedures, and organizations. (Auf der Heide, Erik. 1989) An emergency is generally personal in
nature. A disaster is "an event associated with the impact of a natural hazard, which leads to increased mortality, illness and/or injury, and destroys or
disrupts livelihoods, affecting the people or an area such that they (and/or outsiders) perceive it as being exceptional and requiring external assistance
for recovery" (Cannon 1994, 29, fn.2). Finally, a catastrophe can be viewed as "...any disaster that overwhelms the ability of state, local, and volunteer
agencies to adequately provide victims with such life–sustaining mass care services as food, shelter, and medical assistance within the first 12 to 24
hours." (GAO, Disaster Management, 1993, p. 3).
The Emergency Management Cycle
The four phases of the emergency management cycle are Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. Mitigation is the process of reducing the
occurrence, minimizing impact of the event, and preventing an event from occurring. Mitigation steps can happen before and after an event.
Preparedness is the ability to handle the event. This includes planning and preparations to help in response and rescue operations. Evacuation plans and

Tracking and Finding Patterns to Earthquakes
Marmara Region of Istanbul has a history of catastrophic earthquakes such as the ones that struck on 17 August 1999 (Mw=7.4) and12 November 1999
(Mw=7.2). This led to the introduction of Istanbul Earthquake Rapid Response and Early Warning System (IERREWS) as a preventive measure for
future earthquakes occurrences. This system consists of a dense network of 100 strong motion recorders located in the metropolitan area of Istanbul, 10
near the Great Marmara Fault and 40 more located at important structures (Mert et al 2004). The early warning system of the (IERREWS) is based on
exceeding of predetermined thresholds values for the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) it has three alarm
levels. If the value of CAV exceeds the threshold value it is considered a vote and within a specified time interval if the threshold value is exceeded in 2
or 3 stations the first alarm is declared. The original CAV has been modified to Bracketed CAV (BCAV) which is a summation of the maximum
acceleration value exceeding a threshold value within a specific time domain generally at a one second interval. A recently modified version of the
BCAV called the Windowed Bracketed CAV (BCAV–W) has been suggested which integrates the maximum acceleration values for a window length of
8 seconds. For the bracketed CAV window the threshold values suggested for the three alarm levels are 0.20, 0.40 and 0.70 m/s (Alcik et al 2009).

Tsunami is not just a single giant wave, it may even consist of ten or more waves which is then termed as: "Tsunami Wave Train" . Tsunami possesses
kinetic energy and a mass of water which can cause devastation through kineticism and flooding. There is an international tsunami warning system and
certain regional tsunami warning systems are also in placed.

The quake is the third most powerful earthquake in five years to strike the South America nation.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the quake registered magnitude 8.3, at 7:54 p.m. local time (4 p.m. PDT) on Wednesday.
The quake lasted for approximately three minutes.

The temblor occurred 46 km (28 miles) west of Illapel, Chile, and 229 km (142 miles) northwest of Santiago, Chile 's capital. It occurred as the result of
thrust faulting on the interface between the Nazca and South America plates in central Chile, the USGS said.
At least 10 people were killed as a result of the quake, according to the BBC. One million Chileans were evacuated due to tsunami warnings. The
tsunami warnings in the immediate area have been canceled.

The Central Park Five
Introduction
Crime, deviance, and unethical conduct can found within almost every occupation and profession. Police ethics is the conduct that everyone is most
concerned with. Police officers enter into an occupation that shares many characteristics of other career fields, but it also has unique responsibilities that
deal with conduct and behavior. The PBS documentary: The Central Park Five, demonstrates two of the most common misconduct issues that the
criminal justice professionals deal with noble cause and noble cause corruption. The film investigates the miscarriage of justice of four Black and one
Latino teenager from Harlem, who were wrongly convicted of the brutal beating and rape of a white woman in New York City's Central Park.
The Police Perspective
When this Central park case was made public, the New York Police Department and District Attorney office's main focus was to solve the case as
quickly as possible. When the five teenagers were found "wilding" in the park the night of the women's death, the police believed they had found the
suspects. The police were so confident of the teenager's guiltiness, the five boys were interrogated of their involvement in the crime. The police used
their authority and persuasion to get the boys to confess and promise them that they would go home if they talked. Through strenuous and intense
interrogation, the five boys confessed to the killing and rape of the young women on videotape. These confessions were given even though

Bp : The Spill Of The Gulf Of Mexico
On April 20, 2010, an explosion occurred aboard BP contracted Transocean Ltd Deepwater Horizon oil rig stationed in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven
workers were killed instantly. Unfortunately, the BP management did not wake up that morning (or countless mornings before) expecting the event to
occur for it took them almost 4 months to clean up the spill. The first month was spent forecasting the rate of the spill and having President Barack
Obama tour the site. Only on May 26, 2010 did BP initiate the first form of clean up procedure known as "top kill". Needless to say, this attempt failed.
Thus, well over into the second month after the incident, oil remained leaking and BP had not yet figured out how to contain it. Finally on July 10, 2010
BP removed a timeworn containment cap from the well to install a new one. At last, on July 15, the oil stopped flowing freely. Noting that it took BP
over 4 months to replace a timeworn containment cap just to stop oil from contaminating the Gulf of Mexico, it is readily questioned why such a well–

There needs to be a paradigm shift on several fronts. Firstly there needs to be shift in the education system, where leadership is taught separately from
the principles of management and this needs to be translated as seen particularly at the strategic levels of leadership especially as it relates to emergency
management. Emergency management leadership should adopt a global system perspectives paying special attention to social forces and their role in

(1) Time sequence
Early–warning is the process that warning system addresses alarm information to managers in time before emergency [15, 16]. It is indistinguishable
and unexplainable to deal with early warning signals and complex questions for most methods. Not only does accidents evolvement rely on current
condition, but also on regular historical changes in conditions, because accidents develop in chronological order.
(2) Uncertainty
The monitoring ability is limited due to the limited number of monitoring points on site, which the accident phenomenon cannot be detected directly
but only express fault message by means of an indirect way. Therefore, the same accident phenomenon may correspond to a number of different
implied reasons, resulting in failure to judge the inherent cause of problem directly. It is the uncertainty problem in early–warning system.

Hierarchy is a vital characteristic of early–warning problem in industrial system. The status of entire system is reflected on all low–level status. In
early–warning system, it can be divided into multi–levels from low to high, such as monitoring status, equipment status, functional status of subsystem

Accountability and Control System, How to Control the Policy Implementation that may Occur Hazards and also Accountability in the Process of Policy Implementation Best efforts to overcome forest and land fire through preventing before it occurs, minimizing the impact, and minimizing forest and land fire extension area. According to Ministry for National and Development Planning, there are three things that need to be done first to prevent forest fires and land. First, reviewing the business permits that have been issued by the Government for forestry and plantation; second enforcing on business compliance with regulations and policies related to efforts to control land and forest fire; and third the need for an early warning system (EWS) in the prevention and control of forest and land fire. Early Warning System (EWS) on prevention and control of forest and land fire is a system that contains information about the potential or predictions related to land and forest fires in one location at a certain time. This system has been developed by various agencies with a variety of methods. But the most important thing and should be encouraged is the implementation of the use of such information at the site level by local governments and communities. Each of ministry and agency independently has made efforts to control forest and land fires in accordance with the duties and functions as ministry or technical institutions.

Detail 1 On December 24th, 2004, the elephants in Sri Lanka's National Park began to act "...strangely by trumpeting loudly and charging away from the ocean and up a nearby hill." (Rust 26) The park keepers did not know why the elephants were upset, or about the approaching tsunami. The elephants sensed the tsunami before anyone else did, but by then, it was too late. A tsunami struck the coast later that day and caused massive destruction. Fortunately, the elephants "were not swept away by the water" (Rust 26) and remained "safely on the hill" (Rust 26) Sentence explaining how this detail supports my claim: The elephants somehow sensed that a tsunami was coming and reacted to the upcoming danger by moving away from the ocean and seeking refuge on a hill. Detail 2 Before the 2004 tsunami would hit the coast, the elephants of Sri Lanka's Yala National Park began to exhibit strange behavior such as "trumpeting loudly and charging away from the ocean and up a nearby hill" (Rust 26) The elephants "...may have picked up vibrations from within the Earth, a sign that danger was imminent."

An example of this is that before the 2004 tsunami hit the coast, the elephants of Sri Lanka's Yala National Park began exhibiting strange behavior by charging away from the ocean and up a near hill. After the 2004 tsunami, eyewitness accounts emerged of a number of animals evacuating to higher ground before the waters rushed in. Even in the hardest–hit areas of southern Asia, there were few animal casualties. Experts believe that animals may be more attuned than humans to changes in air pressure, temperatures, and other environmental conditions that occur before a natural disaster. Animals' instincts tell them that these changes signal ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Essay on Standardized Safety with Tools and Checklist The term "safety comes first" or more simply put, "safety first," is a message that patients not only want to hear, but also want to know is the focus of the professionals that are caring for them; in particular, when they are under anesthesia and have limited or no ability to speak up or lookout for themselves. The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) has implemented two initiatives; Rocognising and Responding Appropriately to Early Signs of Deterioration in Hospitalised Patients (NPSA, 2007) and How to Guide: Five Steps to Safer Surgery (NPSA, 2010). Understanding that human beings make up the healthcare professional workforce, it is evident that tools and checklist can and will only be as good as the how people utilize and follow ...

These discoveries prompted change and allowed the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), to set standards to reduce unnecessary detriment to patients. Many tools were introduced to assist in the consistency and accuracy of observations of patients' physiological conditions. ViEWS (VitalPac Early Warning Score) is a standardized and high–tech scoring system that helps recognize and respond to deteriorating patients. It is the basis of the newest warning system, appropriately named National Early Warning System or NEWS (Featherstone, Prytherch, Schmidt & Smith, 2010). Conversely, the How to Guide: Five Steps to Safer Surgery is an adjunct to the World Health Organization (WHO), Safe Surgery Saves Lives: The Second Global Patient Safety Challenge. In this, the primary goal is to confirm that surgical teams not only communicate, but follow safety standards in order to minimize common mistakes and insure the best outcome for surgical patients. The standards included in this literature emphasize, "improving anesthetic safety practices, ensuring surgery is undertaken on the correct part of the body, preventing surgical site infections, and improving communication and teamwork" (Beaumont & Russell, 2012). The actual checklist consists of the following 5–step process: 1.

Introduction An early warning system is a kind of system which is in form of data–base. It a police management data tool which is used to identify police officers whose behavior is not in line to best practices (Walker, Alpert, & Kenney, 2000). The main objective of this systems is to rectify police officer who are not behaving well or are not performing their duties as expected. An early response to such behaviors is required before a disciplinary action is taken against them. Such a system is used to warn them law breakers as well as alerting the management of such indiscipline actions for the officers. The system can go as far as advising on the counselling actions to be undertaken to such indiscipline officers. In 1999, about 27% of the law enforcement agencies who were serving at least 50,000 persons were operating an early warning system while another 12% were planning to establish one in the coming days. On the other side, studies noted that there was a high likelihood that there an early warning systems in large agencies than the small ones in terms of sizes. The importance of the early warning systems was noted on the need of the agencies with 1,000 and above officers' need to establish one within their establishment. There are various phases to the early warning systems. These includes selection, intervention, and post–intervention monitoring. The following sections discussed these basic phases (Walker, Alpert, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Police ethics is the conduct that everyone is most concerned with. Police officers enter into an occupation that shares many characteristics of other career fields, but it also has unique responsibilities that deal with conduct and behavior. The PBS documentary: The Central Park Five, demonstrates two of the most common misconduct issues that the criminal justice professionals deal with noble cause and noble cause corruption. The film investigates the miscarriage of justice of four Black and one Latino teenager from Harlem, who were wrongly convicted of the brutal beating and rape of a white woman in New York City's Central Park. The Police Perspective When this Central park case was made public, the New York Police Department and District Attorney office's main focus was to solve the case as quickly as possible. When the five teenagers were found "wilding" in the park the night of the women's death, the police believed they had found the suspects. The police were so confident of the teenager's guiltiness, the five boys were interrogated of their involvement in the crime. The police used their authority and persuasion to get the boys to confess and promise them that they would go home if they talked. Through strenuous and intense interrogation, the five boys confessed to the killing and rape of the young women on videotape. These confessions were given even though ...

  • 11. Tsunamis Essay Environmental Science Tsunamis A tsunami (soo–NAH–mee) is a series of waves that occur in an ocean or other large body of water and that are caused by some activity that displaces big amounts of water. Tsunami is the Japanese word for "harbor wave." Earthquakes that occur on the seafloor or in coastal areas usually cause tsunamis. The energy generated by the earthquake is transmitted through the water. In deep oceans the energy in these seismic sea waves can travel virtually unnoticed because the wave height may be only twelve inches. When this energy reaches the shallow waters of coastlines, bays, or harbors, it forces the water into a giant wave. Some ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Fishermen twenty miles out to sea didn't notice the wave pass under their boats because it only had a height at the time of about fifteen inches. They were totally unprepared for the devastation that awaited them when they returned to the port of Sanriku. Twenty–eight thousand people were killed and 170 miles of coastline were destroyed by the wave that had passed under them. Tsunamis in deep water can have a wavelength greater than 300 miles (500 2) kilometers) and a period of about an hour. This is very different from the normal California tube, which generally has a wavelength of about 300 feet (100 meters) and a time of about ten seconds. (The period of a wave is the time between two successive waves.) Tsunamis are shallow–water waves, which means that the ratio between water depth and wavelength is very small. These shallow–water waves move at a speed equal to the square root of the product of the acceleration of gravity (9.8m/s/s) and the water depth. The deeper the water, the faster and shorter the wave is. For example, when the ocean is 20,000 feet deep, a tsunami travels at 550 miles per hour. At this speed, the wave can compete with a jet airplane, traveling across the ocean in less than a day. Another important factor in considering tsunamis is the rate at which they lose energy. Because a wave loses energy at a rate inversely related to its ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 13. The Causes And Impacts Of The Natural Disaster In China The first natural disaster recorded in China was in 1556. It was an earthquake that killed 830,000 people ("Deadliest Earthquake in History Rocks China."). The most recent natural disaster in China was an earthquake on September 30th, 2017(earthquake.usgs.gov). 451 years later, and China is still getting natural disasters that are killing thousands of people. The buildings are being rebuilt, people are picking up and moving on, but the disasters keep coming back, sometimes causing more damage than before. The government just rebuilds the same way, no changes in the structures, just as weak as they were before. When disaster strikes again, the same buildings fall over and over. According to Corey Flintoff, in an article in which he makes a valid point, China can't control the disasters that come their way, but they can try to adapt and prepare for the next one. In the beginning of his article, Flintoff makes the argument that China knows about these natural disasters. They understand that they are located in an area that is prone to natural disasters, yet when rebuilding, they don't attempt to make these structures more stable and resistant to disasters, such as floods and earthquakes. According to World UN News Centre," We know that prevention is better than the cure...Yet too often, there is a tendency to defer action until after disasters occur." China's government doesn't have a big role in dealing with natural hazards, but they should. They have a big military that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 15. Tsunamis: How Oregon Can Better Prepare for Cascadia Essay Tsunami hazard assessment in Oregon started with an inundation simulation in the Siletz Bay. Various parameters were tested with different inundation estimates and run–up from past tsunami deposits (Priest, 2001, 55). Inundation maps were then created furthermore in the Oregon Building Code, Oregon limited construction of new important or hazardous buildings in tsunami inundation zones indicated by the inundation maps. Zones that these maps are based on use the Cascadia event in 1700 as a "most likely" theoretical situation. The maps show 5 sizes of Cascadia events, ranked like T– shirt sizes; S, M, L, XL, XXL, and two extreme tsunami events; magnitudes 8.7 and 9.2. The two extremes are the result of two studies done using simulations of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Using paleoseismology, and stochastic area, prediction hazard maps have gotten more accurate and have the potential to save a lot of lives. Another vital step for preparedness is setting up safe, reliable warning systems and evacuation routes. Warning systems can potentially save more lives and cut back on damage. There have been three great tsunamis that influenced the creation of tsunami warning systems (Igarashi, 2011, 2044). After the 1946 Aleutian Islands tsunami caused deaths in Hawaii, efforts began to develop a tsunami warning system (Igarashi, 2011, 2043). The tsunami in Chile on May 22, 1960 turned the United State's warning system into an international system, and the Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, 2004 established a global tsunami warning system (Igarashi, 2011, 2044). Reliable warning systems complement and further improve the ongoing efforts made for tsunami preparedness. It is difficult to predict how much damage or loss of life a tsunami can cause since tsunamis themselves are hard to predict (Yong, 2012, 1020), but a new system of tsunami safety can be developed on the basis of lessons taught by past tsunamis (Igarashi, 2011, 2058). The development of new technology, new techniques, and more quality data allows new warning systems to have faster, more accurate, and reliable detection of earthquakes and tsunamis that can lead to the establishment of more accurate ...

(40 marks) An earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action. Impacts of an earthquake can include short–term impacts such as fatalities, or long–term impacts such as income lost through lack of tourism. Technology can be used to predict the likelihood of an earthquake occurring in a particular area, for example by detecting plate movement, and this can reduce the impacts of an earthquake in return. This essay will discuss whether technology is the best way to reduce the impact of an earthquake or not. Technology ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Tsunamis are usually caused by tectonic displacement of the ocean floor often resulting in an underwater earthquake. This happened on Boxing Day in 2004 in the Indian Ocean where there was a 1000km thrust fault from a release of stress along the constructive–destructive plate boundary. No technology was in place to detect such a disaster and, although scientists knew a tsunami was likely to hit Southern Asia, most of the warnings were too late and the first TV broadcasts in Thailand even happened after the waves had hit. Up to 290,000 people were killed and thousands of bodies are still missing to this day. Since this disaster, a tsunami warning system has been put in place in the Indian Ocean and technology such as this is almost guaranteed to prevent such a high death toll for the future. There is a strong argument that if such technology was implemented before 2004, then thousands of lives could have been saved through evacuation and similar measures. Technology is the best way to reduce the impacts of earthquakes because they can predict a upcoming earthquake, allowing residents of an area time to evacuate to safe land, saving many lives. However, there are many other ways of reducing the impacts of earthquakes and technology has its limitations. The effectiveness of earthquake monitoring and warning systems are limited as many authorities choose to ignore warning signs to avoid disruption to businesses and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 19. Physical And Economic Effects Of A Tsunami Causes And Its... What is a Tsunami? Tsunamis are dangerous and unpredictable, but what are they? A tsunami is a series of waves generated by disturbances in the body of water. The waves of a tsunami can reach up to 100 feet, and travel at an average speed of 500 miles per hour, or 805 kilometers an hour. Causes Tsunamis can be caused by several different things, including earthquakes, which cause "shoves" from the land, pushing the tsunami forward. They can also be caused by landslides, which can happen underwater. The sudden movement displaces enough water to start a tsunami. Volcanic eruptions also cause tsunamis to form, as when they collapse, it displaces the water as well as shaking the ground. Effects Tsunamis have horrible physical and economic effects on the places they appear. The waves move fast enough to cause serious damage to the surrounding area, and the force is strong enough to even rip buildings from their foundations. They have the ability to uproot trees, destroy crops and natural habitats, and often result in the deaths of citizens due to drowning, or being crushed by debris. The Tsunamis also contaminate water sources, and cause damages to critical places, such as nuclear plants. The government is also held responsible for repairing the damages, which may cost years and even billions of dollars. It can also cause a well–kept area to become dirty and cluttered with litter, and the efforts to return it back to its former state may cost more than a country is willing to ...

For many years the nation's education levels of children during school and insurance is a huge pillar that holds up poverty in the U.S.A. As a country we have not done enough to overcome poverty. Even with new organizations being formed to help with enhancements of education, like the America Gives More Act, the nation hasn't made the Early Warning Systems or have improved influences for college saving plans. According to the Huffington Post, forty–five million Americans are living in poverty. The U.S. has attempted to decrease this by enhancing the education system and bettering insurance costs for struggling families. The America Gives More Act was apart of advancing the U.S. This restored and expanded three charitable giving incentives such as food inventories, conservation easements, the IRA rollover, as well as streamline the foundation excise tax stated in National Council of Nonprofit. Community College to Career Fund Act was passed so Americans with low–income are able to get the training they need for better paying jobs. The Fraken.Senate.Gov document implies that community colleges are harshly unfunded compared to four year colleges, and this Act will create a grant program that will increase funding. Better funding comes better training, which means better jobs and pay, which then decreases poverty for many Americans. The Community Investment and Empowerment Act described on GovTrack is ...

Wegener Waveberg Development www.waveberg.com 4016 Lark Street San Diego, Ca 92013, USA Abstract The SAARC region with over a billion populations is contiguous to the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Utilization of ocean resources for power generation such as tidal, thermal solar and wind for energy, along with other green technologies like seaweed farming and sustainable fisheries for food would need to be incorporated in a broad framework for the region. Development of ocean–based energy systems can be integrated with early warning networks linked by satellite which can give a few hours to days warning to help mitigate the severity of natural disasters on human life. . Some of the calamities of note have been the Tsunami of 2004, Bangladesh and Orissa floods, earthquakes in Nepal and Pakistan, and recent inundation of Chennai due to weather and bad flood management. A SAARC comprehensive Framework on disaster management was formulated in alignment with the Hyogo Framework (2005–2015).

Cars with built–in systems are not without their faults. Other than their limited availability and high cost, it is also rare to find a car that has all the features of collision avoidance systems available. Often times car manufacturers will only offer the warning systems without the features that can actually control a car independent of a driver. Also these systems do not guarantee that the vehicle will not get into a crash even when the car can control its speed and tire position. Another problem is that the system is directly integrated into the pieces of the car such as the bumper, mirrors, etc. which makes repairs extremely expensive. When looking at potential demographics for our product, we found a phone survey conducted Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, we found that 83% of parents would not be willing to buy their child a brand new car. With that many parents buying used cars, a lot of those teens will not have the luxurious access to built–in car safety. To visualize how large the difference is, here is a simple pie chart on the topic: Another factor that led us to focus on teen drivers was a study in 2014, also conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, that stated that 48% of teenagers who died in a driving accident died in a car that was at least 11 years old.

This unexpected disaster was not the largest or the deadliest earthquake and tsunami to strike. More than 120,000 buildings were destroyed, 278,000. The total economic cost could reach up to $235 billion, the World Bank estimated, making it the costliest natural disaster in world history. That record goes to the 2004 Banda Aceh earthquake and tsunami in Sumatra, which killed more than 230,000 people. The March 11 earthquake started on a Friday at 2:46 p.m. local time. Japan's scientists had forecast a smaller earthquake would strike the northern region of Honshu, the country's main island. The direct financial damage from the disaster is estimated to be about $199 billion dollars. In Japan, residents are still recovering from the disaster.

  • 37. Tsunami Of The Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning And Mitigation... Early in the morning of December 26, 2004, an earthquake rocked the floor of the Indian Ocean. The 9.1–9.3 magnitude earthquake subsequently caused a series of catastrophic tsunamis to hit the coasts of Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and South Africa. The destruction was devastating, causing just under $10 billion in damage and an estimated $7 billion more in humanitarian aid. Although so much aid was sent to the affected areas, ten years later some of the areas are still suffering from the devastation. Looking back, the main cause of the devastation was the lack of warning systems in place. Although some places like Indonesia may not have had time to evacuate, many other affected areas had plenty of time but were completely uninformed, being taken by surprise. Following the tsunami the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System was created and put into place. A lot can be learned from the lack of warning and preparedness from this disaster in order to better prepare for the future (History.com, Rodgers). Originally, the earthquake registered at a 9.0 on the Richter scale it was later upgraded to a 9.1–9.3. Releasing more energy than all the bombs dropped in WWII, it is the second highest earthquake recorded in history, second to an earthquake in Chile which registered at a 9.5 (National Geographic).

Tracking and Finding Patterns to Earthquakes Marmara Region of Istanbul has a history of catastrophic earthquakes such as the ones that struck on 17 August 1999 (Mw=7.4) and12 November 1999 (Mw=7.2). This led to the introduction of Istanbul Earthquake Rapid Response and Early Warning System (IERREWS) as a preventive measure for future earthquakes occurrences. This system consists of a dense network of 100 strong motion recorders located in the metropolitan area of Istanbul, 10 near the Great Marmara Fault and 40 more located at important structures (Mert et al 2004). The early warning system of the (IERREWS) is based on exceeding of predetermined thresholds values for the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) it has three alarm levels. If the value of CAV exceeds the threshold value it is considered a vote and within a specified time interval if the threshold value is exceeded in 2 or 3 stations the first alarm is declared. The original CAV has been modified to Bracketed CAV (BCAV) which is a summation of the maximum acceleration value exceeding a threshold value within a specific time domain generally at a one second interval. A recently modified version of the BCAV called the Windowed Bracketed CAV (BCAV–W) has been suggested which integrates the maximum acceleration values for a window length of 8 seconds.

Unfortunately, the BP management did not wake up that morning (or countless mornings before) expecting the event to occur for it took them almost 4 months to clean up the spill. The first month was spent forecasting the rate of the spill and having President Barack Obama tour the site. Only on May 26, 2010 did BP initiate the first form of clean up procedure known as "top kill". Needless to say, this attempt failed. Thus, well over into the second month after the incident, oil remained leaking and BP had not yet figured out how to contain it. Finally on July 10, 2010 BP removed a timeworn containment cap from the well to install a new one. At last, on July 15, the oil stopped flowing freely. Noting that it took BP over 4 months to replace a timeworn containment cap just to stop oil from contaminating the Gulf of Mexico, it is readily questioned why such a well– established mega giant never considered the chance of having a blast at an operating site. On the bright side, due to this incident and similar others, numerous organizations have been formulating and establishing emergency or disaster plans and policies to respond to a variety of disaster scenarios. Thus, suggesting that contingency planning is imperative for an organization in the long run in order to avoid massive instant loss since there ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Black Swan Events: Global Emergency Management Essay examples As emergency management leaders for the 21st century, we need to develop new risk assessment and management models to factor in the "unthinkable" globally impacting 'black swam' type events, using satellite imagery, and all the other technology and resources available to better enable us to forecast and plan for these type of events, with the view to minimize their impacts. These technologies should be globally linked, like a global warning system similar to a Tsunami early warning system. According to Mileti there several things that can be done to facilitate this paradigm shift in thinking in leadership in emergency management. He is of the view that there needs to be an adaptation of a global systems perspective in addressing ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... By virtue of the fact that these events are able to disable entire systems, nationally, regionally or worst globally a gigantic collaborative effort by all countries is required to address these issues. How can this be done? There needs to be a paradigm shift on several fronts. Firstly there needs to be shift in the education system, where leadership is taught separately from the principles of management and this needs to be translated as seen particularly at the strategic levels of leadership especially as it relates to emergency management. Emergency management leadership should adopt a global system perspectives paying special attention to social forces and their role in amplifying hazards and disasters. This new approach must foster long term thinking and planning for the reduction of losses in lives and infrastructure for present and future generations. These plans must be reviewed and adjusted as the environment and situation changes to ensure sustainability. Emergency management should be a mandatory component for any type of territory education for all aspiring leaders. This approach will increase future leaders and managers knowledge about the subject matter and encourage a greater appreciation of their role in this very integrated process of emergency management, thus making the job of emergency managers in terms of acquiring the needed resources to execute our jobs somewhat less ...

There were "1.6 million adverse events each year that led to 180,000 deaths" (Liang & Mackey, 2011). In a review, avoidable errors led to $19.5 billion dollars in healthcare expenses (Liang & Mackey, 2011). The National Patient Safety Agency analyzed 425 deaths from acute care hospitals and found "15% of the deaths were related to unrecognized patient deterioration" (Higgins, Maries–Tillot, Quinton, & Richmond, 2008). This finding led to the Institute for Health Care Improvement's promotion for the use of an early warning scoring system to assist with identifying deteriorating patients (Albert & Huesman, 2011).

Characteristics of early warning of equipment chain in gas pipeline 3.1.1 Characteristics of early warning problem (1) Time sequence Early–warning is the process that warning system addresses alarm information to managers in time before emergency [15, 16]. It is indistinguishable and unexplainable to deal with early warning signals and complex questions for most methods. Not only does accidents evolvement rely on current condition, but also on regular historical changes in conditions, because accidents develop in chronological order. (2) Uncertainty The monitoring ability is limited due to the limited number of monitoring points on site, which the accident phenomenon cannot be detected directly but only express fault message by means of an indirect way. Therefore, the same accident phenomenon may correspond to a number of different implied reasons, resulting in failure to judge the inherent cause of problem directly. It is the uncertainty problem in early–warning system. (3) Hierarchy Hierarchy is a vital characteristic of early–warning problem in industrial system. The status of entire system is reflected on all low–level status. In early–warning system, it can be divided into multi–levels from low to high, such as monitoring status, equipment status, functional status of subsystem and system status. In natural gas pipeline system, managers learn what happened on equipment chain by status of monitoring points as essential data, covering production status and operating ...

My dad, who was at the time out of town due to work, agreed to move to this small town of Akroy when they got married one and a half years ago. Ever since we moved in, my family and I have gotten to know everyone in Akroy and they've gotten to know us. However, there was this odd person who I thought was mentally ill, so I never approached him. Anyways, I was never fond of Piper, as she seemed too commanding the moment I first saw her. "Fine," I groaned. I went outside, however, I got this immediate and nagging suspicion. Surprisingly, every other kid on my street had also gone out to take out the trash. I didn't know why I was suspicious at the time, however. I did as I was told, but there was a shadowy figure emerging from the horizon. Now that I look back on it, I shouldn't have done what I did, however, being the curious ten year–old I was, I went and explored. The shadowy figure enlarged as I walked closer and closer to it. I couldn't tell what or who it was until I was right next to it. Once I was right next to the figure, then and only then did I realize that it was actually just a person.
