According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 1950 (P.L. 81-875) defined the roles and responsibilities during natural disasters. Once the president issued a disaster declaration, federal relief resources could flow to the affected areas for response and recovery. The president would then delegate administrative control of relief efforts to the Housing and Home Finance Administration. This law also instituted the federal role in natural disasters as a supportive role, while instituting primary responsibility for disaster response and recovery with local and state governments. How had this changed by 1978? Why did it change? Do you agree with the change? Why, or why not? PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE WITH MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS) CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE In 1950, Congress passed the Federal Disaster Relief Act authorizing the President to provide supplementary Federal assistance when a Governor requested help and the President approved the request by declaring a major disaster. During President Carter’s administration (1976-1980), the Federal government undertook an extensive evaluation of its disaster response and recovery programs to determine which of them could be combined to increase efficiency and save money. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was created in 1979, combining under its roof a number of emergency management programs that had been administered by different agencies. It changed so one entity could coordinate Federal emergency authorities, including the administration of disaster response and recovery programs. FEMA could assume the role of the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration and assume responsibilities from the Federal Preparedness Agency, the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency, the Federal Insurance Administration, the Office of Emergency Preparedness, and the U.S. Fire Administration. I agree with the concept of having an agency in charge of emergency management but FEMA needs to be separate from Homeland Security. ...

Disaster Declaration, Part 2 Instructions!!! Explore the resources within the Preparedness (Non-Disaster) Grants section on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website. Imagine the disaster declaration request you submitted in Week Four has been denied. (this letter/Assignment is on the next page below, please review and write paper based off the letter assignment below) Select one of the following scenarios. 1. The president has denied your request for a Major Disaster Declaration stating that the letter and backup documentation failed to prove that the state meets the threshold for damage that is required to grant a disaster declaration request. There are rumors that the Republican president has been in a political battle with your Democratic governor and congressional representatives. 2. The president has denied your request for a Major Disaster Declaration because the FEMA regional administrator's summary and recommendation stated that there were multiple discrepancies between what your agency reported as "destroyed" and "major damage" homes and what the FEMA Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDA) are reporting. 3. The president has denied your request for a Major Disaster Declaration because the government's analysis of the disaster indicates that dealing with the disaster is within the capabilities of the state. Although you stated you needed additional resources and you could not handle it, the government feels you can. Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper that addresses the following in the context of the scenario selected: · Analyze ethical challenges as they relate to emergency management funding. · Why are there discrepancies in the report? What may have caused this error and how can the issue be corrected? · Analyze emerging political and policy changes in relation to a current event. · What can you do to get the declaration approved? What are the issues, or potential issues, that must be addressed or overcome? · What can you do to prove your point to gain approval? What is within your capabilities as an emergency manager? Should you appeal the decision? · Analyze the purpose of the Stafford Act in relation to government responsibilities. Cite 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support your paper. Format your paper according to APA guidelines Assignment must be written based off this letter here! Dear Mr. President, Under the provision of section 401 of the Robert T.

An explanation of one benefit and one challenge posed by the permanent relocation of residents. Then take a position on the appropriateness of the role of government in providing housing relief after a disaster. Justify your position. Be specific and provide examples. According to Phillips, permanent housing is defined as a home from which the originally displaced person or family will not have to move again as a result of the original disaster (2015, pp. 206). Often times when a disaster strikes and the recovery process begins those that are affected and without shelter are placed in temporary shelter for a short period of time. The transition from temporary to permanent residency can be time consuming, frustrating, and exhausting for all those involved. One benefit that permanent relocation has from a government perspective, is that it reduces expenses for future disasters. This is a form of cost-effectiveness for the government. A benefit that residents may obtain from permanent relocation is the opportunity to move to a region that is not inclined to cataclysmic event, for example, flooding. Relocating families into permanent residency can also be challenging after a disaster occurs. One of those challenges is the lack of housing for those affected by a disaster. If the aftermath of a disaster leaves a substantial amount of people without housing, then there may be a shortage for housing in the nearby areas. Another challenge for relocation is that people tend to have a hard time adjusting to new environments, especially if the place they call home has a significant meaning to them. Historical sites, general locations, and dwellings provide “financial security, sentimental experiences, social relationships, and memories. Another challenge that permanent relocation has on residents is their lack of being unable to find employment that they once occupied in the area that they relocated. Appropriateness Each governmental agency has their separate responsibility when it comes to their housing responsibilities after a disaster occurs. The local government has the responsibility of making sure that the process to rebuild is there as option for those that want to rebuild can. This means that they assist in removing the variation of debris that is left behind after a disaster. They also have the responsibility of establishing guidelines for making sure there are ordinances, codes, and recommendation for how structures are to be rebuilt. The state responsibility is to make sure all damages are properly accessed and documented, and request the needed assisted from the federal government. The state is the liaison between the local and federal government. The federal government help is accessible to supplement the assets of State local, and volunteer organizations in major disasters. FEMA utilizes the Federal Response Plan (FRP) to arrange the administration reaction to catastrophes or crises (FEMA, 2017). In regards to housing, the federa.

Discussion Topic #1: What are the two key recommendations that came out of the 9-11 Report that you think will have the most impact in challenging the process? Additional information:Please see the attachment: January 22, 2008 What’s New in the National Response Framework New Name: The National Response Framework supersedes the National Response Plan and more adequately serves as a guide to how the nation conducts incident response. The new name better aligns the document with its intent. Purpose : To ensure that government executives, private sector, nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident. Broader Scope: The Framework provides structures for implementing national-level policy and operational coordination for domestic incident response. In this document, incidents include actual or potential emergencies or all-hazard events that range from accidents and natural disasters to actual or potential terrorist attacks. Such incidents range from modest events wholly contained within a single community to others that are catastrophic in nature and national in their scope of consequences. Wider Audience: The Framework is intended for executive leadership and emergency management practitioners at all levels of government, as well as private sector, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Integrated Key Concepts: An effective, unified national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities, with States having the primary responsibility for public health and welfare of its citizens. Five elemental principles of operation constitute national response doctrine: Engaged partnerships Tiered response Scalable, flexible and adaptable operational capabilities Unity of effort through unified command Readiness to act Expanded Focus on Partnerships: The Framework states that an effective national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities. This approach affirms that local communities, tribes and States have primary responsibility for the safety and security of their citizens; that local leaders build the foundation for response and that resilient communities begin with prepared individuals and families. Updated Planning Section: The Framework contains a section that focuses on the critical importance of planning. The intent is to lay the groundwork to: Link planning, preparedness, resource and asset management processes, and data in a virtual environment; Prioritize plans and planning efforts to best support homeland security strategies and allow seamless transition to execution; and Provide parallel and concurrent planning at all levels of government. Improved Annexes and Appendixes: The Emergency Support Functions and Support Annexes have been updated and remain an integral part of the Fr.

Federalism: Comparing Government Response in Hurricane Katrina vs. Coronavirus You will be watching two 50 minute documentaries: The Strom and Coronavirus Pandemic in order to complete this essay. Topic Overview : Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both produced policy disasters in the United States that were both unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges produced by nature raise the question of whether certain disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local government. Objective : While watching these films, the central theme to take away from these videos is a better and more comprehensive understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and consequences of each different national disaster, based on different level of government’s responses, actions. Leadership, communication processes, and decision-making. Despite, both Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly different responses by each level of government’s leadership (across all levels: federal, state and local). Introduction to Federalism: State and Local governments are the first line responders to crisis. The institutions encompass not only the national government and the American states, each with their own distinctive histories, but extend down to the local level of counties, cities, smaller communities, and special-purpose entities such as school districts. Support and opposition for Federalism rests on government leadership, power, decision-making, and response to national disasters. Response is a geographic and constitutional matter of design. The principles underlying federalism create a power system where multiple levels of government (local, state, and federal) coexist in an organization of power that is both exclusive and shared, depending on the event at hand. Though the federal government has a vital role to play in advancing national priorities through the powers enumerated to it by the U.S. Constitution, our founders recognized long ago that many of the challenges our citizens face can best be addressed at the state level. The Constitution set forth means for strengthening national government’s power, intended to establish a more perfect union (Preamble). Federalism would be the new organization of power, between local, state and federal U.S. government, in order to the remedy weaknesses caused by the Articles of Confederation. Principles of Federalism Limited government States’ rights (10th amendment) Goals of Federalism: Foster cooperation Prevent Federal Intrusion into State Protect State’s utility as “laboratories” of democracy Central Themes to Focus on and Think About comparisons and discussion of struggles between local, state and federal levels of government according to how federalism has manifested into a power tug-of-war in authority division of power division .

Introduction The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the “the provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected” (UNISDR, 2009, p. 25). The primary focus of the disaster response is on immediate and short-term needs. Some response actions may extend well into the recovery stage. Since January 2008, FEMA introduced the National Response Framework (NRF) which intends “to ensure that the government executives, private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand the domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident” (Haddow et al, 2014, p. 176). The different definitions highlight the importance of collaborative work in the response while providing the required and coordinated assistance to save lives. In the aftermath of the 9/11 events, the changes made in the emergency management system in the United States has led to the issuances of several Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs) on matters pertaining to homeland security. One of the directives is the HSPD-5 Management of Domestic Incidents which establishes a single, comprehensive National Incident Management System ( NIMS ) and the National Response Framework ( NRF ). The next paragraphs will give a short description of the HSPD-5. Then, a position of this presidential directive on its potential impact will complement the discussion. Description Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5 The emergency response responsibilities in the United States first belong to the local entities, being local and tribal communities or the local governments. The request for support is going beyond the local level towards higher levels such as state or federal levels, only if the local capacities to handle the crisis are completely overwhelmed or exceeded. Actually, when the President Bush issued the HSPD-5 in 2003, his purpose was to enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system. The management system covered the prevention, preparation, response, and recovery of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The HSPD-5 was also aiming at allowing all levels of government throughout the nation to work efficiently and effectively together. Possible impacts of the HSPD-5 The establishment and the implementation of the HSPD-5 through the NIMS and NRF (previously national response plan) have its pro and cons. Positive impacts Further empowerment of state and local authorities: Despite the perceivable centralization of power Federal level, the directive clearly recognizes the primary roles and responsibilities of State and local authorities for the m ...

Module 6 Reading Assignment Haddow, G., Bullock, J., & Coppola, D. (2011). Introduction to emergency management. Burlington: Elsevier. Chapter 7. The Disciplines of Emergency Management: Recovery Recovery often begins in the initial hours and days following a disaster event and can continue for months or years. Recovery involves decisions and actions relative to rebuilding homes; replacing property; resuming employment; restoring businesses; and permanently repairing and rebuilding infrastructure. Because the recovery function has such long lasting impacts and usually high costs, the participants in the process are numerous, and include all levels of government, the business community, political leadership, community activists and individuals. An effective recovery brings all players together to plan, finance and implement a recovery strategy that will rebuild the disaster-impacted area safer and more secure as quickly as possible. Recovery activities begin immediately after a Presidential declaration as the agencies of the Federal Government collaborate with the State in the impacted area in coordinating the implementation of recovery programs and the delivery of recovery services. The Federal government plays the largest role in providing the technical and financial support for recovery, with FEMA obligating an annual average of $2.88 billion on public assistance projects for major disaster declarations (with an average of $58 million per major disaster declaration) and $153 million in individual assistance.

Running Head: FEMA POLICY 1 FEMA POLICY 2 Hurricane in Katrina Hurricane in Katrina Introduction FEMA stands for Federal Emergency Management Agency. The agency was mainly formulated so to help reduce the increased cases of natural disasters that appeared to be a threat in the state of America. Previously before the implementation of the policy United State was experiencing adverse effects from disaster cases which were propagated by natural calamities. The main purpose of the policy was to enhance coordination of relevant strategies which are implemented to manage different disasters that affect the country. The Policy's main headquarters are located in Washington. Most of the areas in the country experience these natural disasters; therefore formulation of FEMA was of more advantage as opposed to the demerits. Before the formulation of the policy, the state had first to analyze the common calamities that affect the country. Findings stated that most of the regions suffered from adverse cases of flooding, hurricanes, and tornadoes (Garrett & Sobel, 2013). These cases were classified as natural disasters. Nevertheless, the findings concluded that the country was at the threat of insecurity cases which were facilitated by the citizens of the state. Among all these adverse effects the most common disaster that appears to be occurring at a high frequency includes hurricane disaster. A good example is Hurricane Katrina. The disaster affected two main cities that are the city of Florida and the city of Louisiana. Hurricane Katrina brought about the destruction of property worth billions of dollars. There is some hurricane that occurs and they are mainly categorized into five main categories. Hurricane Katrina was ranked as one of the five major categories because of the damage that it causes to both of the city. The hurricane did not only affect Florida and Louisiana the effects stretched to the neighboring regions such as the city of New Orleans. The catastrophic event mainly took place in August 2005. The hurricane affected both the citizens of the state and America at large in that the economy of the state depreciated by a significant percentage. When this disaster occurred the state of America had not yet formulated various agencies and organization which were to deal with such disasters in case they occurred. The hurricane stretched its effect and activated another disaster which if flooding. A lot of people lost their lives during these disasters. The hurricane left hundreds and thousands of people without their loved ones. The hurricane washed away a lot of homes and destroyed different building structures; this means that a number of people who were privileged to survive the hurricane without places to reside. People who were left by their loved ones started to develop mental distress due.

5 Hurricane Katrina was a seminal catastrophic event that exposed a number of weaknesses in our disaster response and recovery capabilities for natural and man-made disasters. These weaknesses arose following 9/11, the reorganization of FEMA into the new DHS caused by 9/11, and the government focus on the terrorist threat. In this lesson, we learned that major catastrophes like Katrina require a disaster response and recovery capability that is both disciplined and agile. Recently, Hurricane Harvey, also a major Category 4 storm, impacted the Gulf Coast, not too far from where Hurricane Katrina made landfall. How was the outcome of this hurricane response and recovery effort different from the outcome of Katrina? Based on what you have learned, would you have suggested anything about the response efforts be done differently? must be at least 200 words. 6 The media is often a considerable factor in how the public views the relative success or failure of the disaster response to major catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina. Describe a time where you have seen the media cover a disaster in your community. It can be a smaller scale disasters, like a fire or weather damage. Do you think the media properly handled this disaster, or was it detrimental to the response and recovery efforts? What would you suggest that the media do differently in the future? must be at least 200 words. Essay This involves the evolution of Federal Emergency Management from the formation of FEMA through the lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy. For this , compose an essay in which you do the following: Discuss the formation of FEMA, then describe how the position of FEMA changed following the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006. Discuss the intended and unintended outcomes that emerged following FEMA’s incorporation into DHS. Describe how Hurricane Katrina swung the pendulum back towards natural disasters from a focus on terrorism following 9/11. Describe the subsequent lessons learned and improvements made by the Post-Katrina Emergency Reform Act of 2006 and how they affected emergency response and recovery in Hurricane Sandy. Discuss the changes in the process for Presidential Disaster Declarations due to the lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina. Describe how FEMA works with local and state emergency management services and community stakeholders. Identify improvements instituted by the Post-Katrina Emergency Reform Act of 2006 and how they affected emergency response and recovery in Hurricane Sandy. should be four pages in length, not counting title page and reference page, and you must incorporate three sources into your assignment. sources must be cited and referenced in A&P format. 7 In a major catastrophe such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, describe what changes to “law, policy, and doctrine” you would recommend if you were a member of a Blue Ribbon Commission. must be at least 200 words. 8 Discuss .

Advocating Through Policy As noted by Dr. Stanley and Dr. White in this week’s media presentation, professional nurses should be engaging in advocacy efforts to improve health and nursing practice through involvement in the policy process at the institutional, local, state, or federal levels. This array of possibilities for involvement provides opportunities for all nurses, regardless of time, or other possible constraints. Successful policy making is a collaborative effort, and one that commands mutual respect from all involved. Your involvement in policy making can lead to expanded opportunities as both a nurse leader and as a respected member of an interprofessional health care team. Note : This Discussion provides a forum for discussing advocacy opportunities and honing your presentation skills in a small group setting. To prepare: Reflect on the insights offered by Dr. Stanley and Dr. White on engaging in advocacy through the policy process. Identify a practice issue that is of interest to you and that could benefit from advocacy efforts through the policy process. Consider the stakeholders and any special interest or professional organizations that would support your issue. Develop a short, yet persuasive PowerPoint (up to 3 slides IN APA FORMAT) as follows: 1) Identify the practice issue that would benefit from being addressed through the policy process 2) Represent the key stakeholders (i.e. use graphical images when possible) 3) Propose one strategy for how a nurse could advocate for this issue The PowerPoint should be succinct, visually appealing, and effective.

According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 19

1. According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 1950 (P.L. 81-875) defined the roles and responsibilities during natural disasters. Once the president issued a disaster declaration, federal relief resources could flow to the affected areas for response and recovery. The president would then delegate administrative control of relief efforts to the Housing and Home Finance Administration. This law also instituted the federal role in natural disasters as a supportive role, while instituting primary responsibility for disaster response and recovery with local and state governments. How had this changed by 1978? Why did it change? Do you agree with the change? Why, or why not? PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE WITH MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS) CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE In 1950, Congress passed the Federal Disaster Relief Act authorizing the President to provide supplementary Federal assistance when a Governor requested help and the President approved the request by declaring a major disaster. During President Carter’s administration (1976-1980), the Federal government undertook an extensive evaluation of its disaster response and recovery programs to determine which of them could be combined to increase efficiency and save money. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was created in 1979, combining under its roof a number of emergency management programs that had been administered by different agencies. It changed so one entity could coordinate Federal emergency authorities, including the administration of disaster response

2. and recovery programs. FEMA could assume the role of the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration and assume responsibilities from the Federal Preparedness Agency, the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency, the Federal Insurance Administration, the Office of Emergency Preparedness, and the U.S. Fire Administration. I agree with the concept of having an agency in charge of emergency management but FEMA needs to be separate from Homeland Security.
