Central Issue: The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) structure prevented it from effectively helping Louisiana and surrounding states prepare for Hurricane Katrina. Major Factors: DHS was focused on terrorism prevention after 9/11. This shifted resources away from disaster preparedness. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had its role and resources reduced after being absorbed into DHS. Alternatives: The work group could recommend organizational changes within DHS and FEMA to refocus on disaster preparation. This could include restoring FEMA's previous role and independence or improving coordination between DHS and other agencies.

Topic 1: Preparedness for Terrorist Attacks
Since September 11, there has been a significant focus on preparedness for terrorist attacks. The response to Katrina highlighted significant shortcomings in response to the impact of natural disasters. Based upon your text and outside readings, what do you see as the improvements required to adequately respond to terrorist threats and attacks, as well as hurricanes like Katrina, earthquakes, and other natural disasters? Does preparing for one emergency assist in preparing for the other type of disaster? What organizations within the community would you engage in preparing an emergency response plan to both terrorist attacks and natural disasters?

Terrorist attacks can be different than natural disasters, there is a wide range of attacks that can happen. Emergency managers should look at preparedness needs the community needs, depending upon the consequences of the attack, what the community can do to mitigate or prevent an attack from happening, how the community should respond to attacks, and what will be needed for the long-term recovery process (Haddow, et al., 2021, pg. 405). With natural disasters, the best thing is to be prepared for any level of disaster, what I mean by this is there needs to be emergency plans for a level 4 or 5 hurricane, but a level 1 hurricane as well. I think that preparing for one emergency disaster can help in preparing for future disasters, you learn and experience things as they happen, and you can take that knowledge into plans for future emergencies. I would engage with emergency responders, neighboring communities to get extra help, local TV networks to help get information out about evacuation plans, hospitals, and the American Red-Cross.

Several improvements will be required to adequately respond to terrorist threats and attacks, major hurricanes and earthquakes, and other natural disasters. The shift from an “all hazards approach” to a “single-hazard approach” was certain to cause issues in the future as the focus seemed to be on the threat of terrorist attacks and not on the possibility of other disasters (Haddow et al., 2021). In the first 20 years of the reorganization of DHS and FEMA, many issues arose particularly with leadership roles and the chain of command. In other words, who should be called during emergency situations and in what order, and who is in control? According to Haddow et al. (2021), Bush’s reorganization and creation of the new “Homeland Security Presidential Directive” merged approximately 179,000 employees from 22 pre-existing agencies and programs into one “cabinet-level” organization” (p. 14). ...

Organizing for Homeland Security after Katrina: Is Adaptive
Management What ’ s Missing?
Th is article analyzes performance and organizational
issues revealed by the governmental response to Hurricane
Katrina. It reviews and analyzes the organizational
changes made in the federal government to address home-
land security and presents several proposals for reorgani-
zation suggested by policy makers in the aftermath of
Katrina. A management approach rooted in adaptive
management is presented for use in the ongoing process of
organizing for homeland security.
H
urricane Katrina was more than a challenge
to the capabilities of federal, state, and local
governments to respond to hurricane or
natural disaster emergencies. It was, in fact, as Secre-
tary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff ob-
served, the fi rst large-scale test of the new National
Response Plan that the U.S. Department of Home-
land Security (DHS) developed. Th is partnership with
other federal departments and state and local govern-
ment agencies was to provide for an “ all-discipline, all-
hazards plan that establishes a single, comprehensive
framework for management of domestic incidents ”
(DHS 2004a, iii). But, as President Bush declared,
“ Th e results are not acceptable, ” and he maintained
that it is important that both the administration and
Congress take a good look at what went on “ to make
sure this country is knitted up as well as it can be, in
order to deal with signifi cant problems and disasters ”
(quoted in Jackson 2005, 2 ). Only four years after
9/11 and three years after the establishment of the
DHS, the nation is confronted with the question of
whether government organization for homeland secu-
rity is suffi cient to ensure security with respect to
catastrophic incidents, whether they are the result of
natural hazards or terrorism.
Th ere is little doubt that the suboptimal governmental
performance during Katrina was the result of many
factors: organizational, management, policy, person-
nel, and political. Both the House and the Senate, as
well as the executive branch, have convened special
committees to attempt to determine what went
wrong. Th e purpose of this article is not to analyze all
the performance gaps revealed by Katrina or to at-
tempt a comprehensive analysis of all the factors con-
tributing to homeland security. Rather, it seeks to
analyze what Katrina means for the question of how
the federal government should reorganize itself to
better perform the homeland security function.
Th e events of 9/11 kicked off one of the most active
periods of reorganization in the history of the federal
government. Th e enactment of the law creating the
DHS was itself one of the largest reorganizations ever
undertaken, but the department ’ s creation is but one
milestone in an ongoing process of organizing for
homeland security — a process t.

One thing that should not happen to FEMA is the taking away of their responsibilities. During DHS's creation FEMA lost some of its important agencies and mission that were put under other agencies in DHS. As we saw with Hurricane Katrina those agencies and missions are best left under FEMA. DHS has given a good portion of their funding to FEMA but has decreased FEMA's funding over the years. Allocating appropriate funding to FEMA will cause them to. be more effective in dealing with disasters.

Lessons Learned
Since Former President Jimmy Carter consolidated all federal programs into a single agency, The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has done an excellent job of adjusting to the never-ending natural, man-made, and terrorist threats faced by the United States every day. FEMA has encountered many issues since its creation, but one lesson learned that could provide guidance on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) restructuring is the constant change from an all-hazards approach to a single focus. Bullock et al. (2018) stated, “With the election of President Ronald Reagan in 1980, the focus of FEMA’s policies and programs shifted dramatically from an all-hazards approach to a single focus on nuclear attack planning through its Office of National Preparedness” (p. 388). Thus, a fluctuation focus on low-probability / high-impact events was at some point FEMA’s failure to effectively and adequately respond to several disasters.
In my opinion, it would be vital for DHS to continue to focus its efforts and systems on an all-hazards approach. Hurricane Katrina is a constant reminder for all emergency management agencies across the Nation of how important it is for the United States government to focus and have an all-hazards approach. When the DHS took ownership of FEMA, it created many conflicts of interest because DHS systems were focused on a single hazard approach. Bullock et al. (2021) further explained how FEMA’s funding that supported local and state emergency plans became part of a funding reallocation requested of FEMA by DHS management to support other DHS priorities. In the end, it would be critical for DHS to continue to learn from FEMA’s struggles and not to let history repeat itself. Focus on an all-hazards approach and continue to nurture relationships to create excellent communication and an adequate response from all agencies and departments.

Question 1
When it comes to disasters, some contend that governments still largely play the role of arriving like the cavalry after the fact. Assuming this might be at least partially true, how can emergency management policies (local, state and/or federal) be more proactive? What barriers, if any, to such proposals might exist? (For instance, should local jurisdictions consider additional efforts to regulate building, land-use, development, and other activities that may cause hazards and/or increase risk to members of the community? What lessons should we learn from the flooding that took place in South Carolina in 2015?)
Question 2
Define in your own words the term “benchmarking” used in our textbook and compare it to the terms “lessons learned” or “best practices”, which are often used in emergency management. Include at least one example that you think represents one or more of these terms.
Question 3
Your response to each of the questions below should be at least one brief paragraph.
After reading the South Carolina Public Incident Report, consider how recent large data security breaches affects public administration.
a.) How would you recommend improving policy and practice with regard to information security? (At least one paragraph)
b.) Provide a statement of the problem and at least two recommendations; support your points with additional detail and references (in APA Style). (At least one paragraph)
Question 4 https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR website to external link

Emergency recovery means to engage in efforts to return disaster-imp.docx
Emergency recovery means to engage in efforts to return disaster-impacted areas back to functioning and, to the greatest appreciable extent, conditions that existed before the emergency occurred in the first place. There are a number of entities involved in emergency recovery including nonprofit organizations, private insurance companies, and myriad state and local governments. One of the most common criticisms of emergency recovery is that local agencies lose control of recovery to the hands of the federal government, or that the federal recovery infrastructure doesn’t do enough to help local governments.
It is important to remember that even in the post-9/11 era, the federal government usually does not step in to oversee or coordinate disaster recovery efforts unless the local and state governments ask for such help. It is the Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process that govern how and when federal recovery programs intervene.
For this Discussion, consider the utility of the Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process related to local disaster response. You also consider whether federal emergency recovery programs are over-used by the states and adequately provide for recovery from catastrophic events.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post

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

****ANSWER THIS QUESTION 250 WORDS MIN EACH****
Discussion Questions:
What is the most significant vulnerability facing the emergency management discipline and why?
****REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH****
1. For this week’s question we were asked what is the most significant vulnerability facing the emergency management discipline and why? As I contemplated various input for this question, I wanted to start with what I felt was the most important aspect of Emergency Management which is its discipline of avoiding risks and prevent the loss of life. Ideally, Emergency Management disciplines involves prepping for a crisis, responding during and after a crisis, as well as support after a disaster. From our readings I found this statement, “Emergency management is the responsibility of more than government; it involves NGOs, community groups, and individuals (Etkin, 2016).” Understanding these additional Emergency Management responsibilities, overall, I can see how personnel play a major role towards ethical choices. Dissecting more of the article from Etkin, I see how he correlated ethical theories, utilitarianism, social contract, virtue ethics, deontology, and environmental sustainability. Etkin really opened my eyes and helped me understand the relationship people have on our values to our environment. Understanding the discipline of Emergency Management is to avoid risks and prevent loss of life, I can make a better choice on what I feel is its significant vulnerability. I feel the greatest strength is its greatest vulnerability, which are people. Emergency management personnel have an important part to play and essentially, their training, ethics, goals, values, etc. can either be a part of the solution or part of the problem. Since we are talking about vulnerabilities of Emergency Management, I will stick with problem. Vulnerable populations such as people with disabilities were not part of or thought of when States/Cities were implementing measures for people with such ailments. Los Angeles, California violated Federal and State disability laws by failing to include people with disabilities in their 200 plus page emergency preparedness plan. Why do States/Cities let this occur when FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) specifically mentions that emergency preparedness plans need to include people with disabilities (Flowers, 2016)? Therefore, this backs up my ideal of a vulnerability when it comes to Emergency Management.
2. Emergency management is the allocation of resources and responsibilities when dealing with a disaster. The primary agency dealing with disasters is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Federal Emergency Management Agency was created in 1979 by President Carter. Although this organization is relatively new, the federal disaster approach has been around for a longer time. When the Department of Homeland Security was created in 2003, FEMA was adopted into this o.

Discussion Questions:
What is the most significant vulnerability facing the emergency management discipline and why?
****REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH****
1. For this week’s question we were asked what is the most significant vulnerability facing the emergency management discipline and why? As I contemplated various input for this question, I wanted to start with what I felt was the most important aspect of Emergency Management which is its discipline of avoiding risks and prevent the loss of life. Ideally, Emergency Management disciplines involves prepping for a crisis, responding during and after a crisis, as well as support after a disaster. From our readings I found this statement, “Emergency management is the responsibility of more than government; it involves NGOs, community groups, and individuals (Etkin, 2016).” Understanding these additional Emergency Management responsibilities, overall, I can see how personnel play a major role towards ethical choices. Dissecting more of the article from Etkin, I see how he correlated ethical theories, utilitarianism, social contract, virtue ethics, deontology, and environmental sustainability. Etkin really opened my eyes and helped me understand the relationship people have on our values to our environment. Understanding the discipline of Emergency Management is to avoid risks and prevent loss of life, I can make a better choice on what I feel is its significant vulnerability. I feel the greatest strength is its greatest vulnerability, which are people. Emergency management personnel have an important part to play and essentially, their training, ethics, goals, values, etc. can either be a part of the solution or part of the problem. Since we are talking about vulnerabilities of Emergency Management, I will stick with problem. Vulnerable populations such as people with disabilities were not part of or thought of when States/Cities were implementing measures for people with such ailments. Los Angeles, California violated Federal and State disability laws by failing to include people with disabilities in their 200 plus page emergency preparedness plan. Why do States/Cities let this occur when FEMA's Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) specifically mentions that emergency preparedness plans need to include people with disabilities (Flowers, 2016)? Therefore, this backs up my ideal of a vulnerability when it comes to Emergency Management.
2. Emergency management is the allocation of resources and responsibilities when dealing with a disaster. The primary agency dealing with disasters is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Federal Emergency Management Agency was created in 1979 by President Carter. Although this organization is relatively new, the federal disaster approach has been around for a longer time. When the Department of Homeland Security was created in 2003, FEMA was adopted into this o.

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

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.

After reviewing the article “First the Flood, Now the Fight” multiple times, I was unable to find clearly defined examples of horizontal or vertical integration in the article based off the definitions and examples we learned in the assigned video. Horizontal integration is when a company or organization acquires a similar company or organization in the same industry or field. The closest example to horizontal integration in the article occurred after the storm when FEMA oversaw and managed around 700 contractors and employees during the recovery process. Vertical integration is when a company or organization acquires a company that operates either before or after the acquiring company or organization in the production process. There was no clear demonstration of vertical integration that I found in this article.
Inter-organizational coordination after Katrina was poor and inconsistent at best. It was stated in the article that “current and former officials at all levels blame FEMA workers' inexperience with eligibility rules, weaknesses in U.S. disaster laws and inconsistent treatment by Congress for much of the wrangling”. I think the biggest problem was that the destruction that Katrina caused was so geographically widespread, that FEMA had to divide their personnel and resources up amongst a much larger area then originally planned for. Spreading their personnel out like this to cover a larger area is where I believe a lot of the problems happened, because it then forced them to have less experienced personnel operate in roles/capacities that they would otherwise not normally operate in because they were the only available resources at the time. This could have been one of the causes for the repeated disputes amongst local governments and FEMA representatives due to the improper interpretation of rules and disaster laws by FEMA representatives.
Horizontal recovery is something that I believe we in Emergency Management will revisit on many occasions. A form of temporary horizontal integration is something that occurs during most disaster recoveries. After a disaster, FEMA or a local emergency management agency usually takes over coordinating and leading the recovery effort. During this time, they also take control of available rescue and recovery organizations to use in whatever way to carry out the organization’s goal and overall mission. This is different than the corporate world where a company is taken over forever, whereas in the disaster recovery setting it is appropriate for this to occur on a temporary basis

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?

ABSTRACT: As is well known, most emergency incidents are managed by local
governments. However, when an incident of disaster-scale occurs, the traditional
model of emergency management has certain limitations. Emergency response
systems are primarily designed to manage incidents locally, not to facilitate
coordination across multiple jurisdictional boundaries. As a result, the threat of
a catastrophic terrorist attack and of other regional-scale natural disasters like
Hurricane Katrina has led to a policy demand for actual regional coordination
in emergency response. In this article, we discuss the local development of
regionalism in emergency management and present an approach to assessing
the effectiveness of such efforts (i.e., we examine local government conditions
conducive to regionalization). We discuss various strategies for assessing the
push for regionalism in emergency management, including providing several
regional integration performance indicators and an outline of the importance
of combining assessment strategies in this area. Our results suggest that local
capacity for regionalization, just as in other areas of emergency management, is
largely determined by unique local characteristics, thus presenting a challenge
to new policy doctrine.
KEYWORDS: disasters, emergency management, emergency response, regional

This decade has seen remarkable transformations in disaster and emergency
management policy in the United states. the magnitude of the terrorist attacks of
2001, coupled with the immediately perceived possibility of future terror attacks

and other catastrophic incidents—the federal government moved decisively away
from its more traditional facilitative role in emergency management. instead it
moved to a much more centralized, top–down mode of policy development, more
explicitly directing state and local government actions (cigler, 2007; schneider,
2005). following the 9/11 attacks, the hurricanes of 2005, and especially the
ineffective response to hurricane Katrina, enhanced further the saliency of the
debate over how best to re-shape systems of preparedness for and management
of disaster incidents.

Mitigation Planning
Mitigation planning to include funding is important to building a sustainable and hazard-resilient community. Given the three layers of governmental bureaucracy (federal, state, and local) do you believe the system is readily accessible? How do you think the process can be improved to make funding available sooner and ultimately increase the level of mitigation activity? What checks and balances should remain, and which could be removed? Share any personal experiences with the process.
Student #1: (Travis Reed)
Good morning Y’all
The funding process is among the key determinant factors for the success of any mitigation measure directed to a disaster of any nature (Smith & Vila, 2020). Without sufficient funds, the hazard mitigation strategies are rendered ineffective in restoring the status of the community following a disaster. While funding is a critical factor in hazard mitigation, it is also one area with multiple ch ...
Scenario Three The Psychology of Disaster Preparedness In Sept.docx
Scenario Three: The Psychology of Disaster Preparedness
In September 2003 a Category Two hurricane made landfall in a town that was ill prepared for such a natural disaster. The hurricane claimed over 100 lives and caused approximately $1.4 billion in damages. This large American city had not experienced a natural disaster of this proportion for more than 100 years. Therefore, none of the current citizens had any personal knowledge of exactly what preparations might be in order to survive such an event. In the wake of the storm prosocial (helping) behaviors to aid hurricane victims were at an all-time high. Unfortunately, many lives were lost as a direct result of the lack of pre-disaster preparedness on the part of the citizens residing in the affected city.
Local and federal emergency management agencies have researched extensively what went wrong with their disaster response plans. Findings show that they were adequately prepared to respond to a disaster once it happened but that they were seriously lacking in preparing citizens to take seriously the possibility that disaster could strike at any time. In fact, in the days leading up to the approaching storm, many warnings were issued to the public to take precautions up to and including evacuation. However, public perception appeared to be that the media and local leaders were exaggerating the level of imminent danger. A recent national survey shows that even in light of this disaster and the widespread publicity it received, Americans are no more prepared for this type of catastrophe than they were in 2003 (FEMA, 2006).
These results are worrisome to federal and local authorities, and to disaster preparedness teams who attempt to warn the public of impending danger. The frustration lies in the fact that tactical plans for responding are well implemented, practiced, and executed successfully when disaster strikes. However, persuading the public to take seriously their personal responsibility has been a massive failure. Officials now realize that they need the advice of an applied social psychology expert to help them implement social marketing to raise public awareness of the need for disaster preparedness.
FEMA has retained you, an applied social psychology expert, to provide a scholarly analysis of the scientific, peer-reviewed literature on the factors related to attitude and behavior change such as risk perception, persuasion theories, persuasion techniques, motivation, and self-efficacy. You
PSY610: Applied Social Psychology Scenarios for Intervention Proposal must also render a professional opinion regarding your conclusion as to what FEMA officials can do to elicit greater public trust and participation in pre-disaster preparation particularly in towns where natural disasters are not likely to occur. Your opinion should be based on the scientific, peer-reviewed social psychology research that you reviewed. The following peer-reviewed journal articles are a good place to star.
The National Response Framework (NRF) expressly outlines roles and.docx
The National Response Framework (NRF) expressly outlines roles and responsibilities for various levels of government; these levels include not just the political leaders and administrations but also associated agencies. At the federal level, for example, DHS, FEMA, FBI, and DOD—among others—often play a marked role in all stages of crisis-response planning and management. At state levels, one can find the following (among others): state homeland security and/or emergency management offices; state highway patrol departments; state bureaus of investigations; state environmental, labor, or hazardous materials divisions. Local communities will also have regulatory agencies, commissions created by political leaders, task forces, interagency groups, citizens committees, and much more. Importantly, these many distinct entities spread across these levels also require unique technologies and capabilities.
Remember one more thing: all disasters are local. This means that the local community is normally the initial site of a crisis, incident, or disaster. Per the NRF, communities are expected to respond to the best of their capabilities and request help only when given resources are exhausted. In many cases, these requests for assistance are specific, covering specific needs. Local communities request resources from their intrastate regions or the state; states may request resources they’ve exhausted or don’t possess from neighboring states and/or the federal level.
For this unit’s assignment, you will use the Minnesota Bridge/ I-35W Collapse of 2007 as a case study.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 3–5 pages:
What are at least 3 forms of technology that made or could have made a significant difference in saving lives, lessening suffering, and/or protecting property? Explain in detail.
Describe each of the 3 technologies (specific form or class of capabilities). Discuss in detail.
Which level(s) of government did employ or should have employed this tool or capability? Explain.
Who specifically used it (or should have)? How did they use it? Explain and be specific.
How did each tool or type of technology make—or would have made—a significant impact in the management of this crisis? Explain.
Emphasize the ability to save or protect lives and property
Note the technologies you choose for this assignment may have been used or not.
They must be real, existing capabilities or tools that you will probably have to research specifically, not just “cool” ideas in need of invention or development.
Conclude your paper by arguing how and when technology is, or is not, a force multiplier for incidents such as the Minnesota Bridge Collapse, and support your arguments with evidence, not opinion.
Your final product should be well organized, well written, employ good mechanics, and be clear and persuasive. All information used that does not solely reflect original thought must be properly cited with appropriate references provided.

NIMS Supporting Technology Evaluation Program
For this assignment, you will research and examine an actual emergency situation of your choosing (either a man-made or natural disaster) occurring within the last 8 years that required interaction among the local, state, and national levels. The research and examination should be reported in a paper written from the position of a local emergency management employee assigned to draft a report to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This assignment will require research into the authority, responsibility, and technological capabilities of FEMA.
Within the past 8 years, there have been many catastrophes, not necessarily involving terrorist acts but requiring crisis management resources. Examples include Hurricane Katrina; the 2010 oil well explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; the broken natural gas pipeline and resulting explosion in San Bruno, California; and major wildfires in California, Colorado, and other states, to name a few.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in a report of 750 words:
Briefly describe and summarize the event.
When did the event occur, and what happened?
Were there any casualties or injuries?
Was there any environmental damage? If so, explain
What was the primary cause of the event? Explain.
What intergovernmental jurisdictions were involved? How were they coordinated? Explain.
What types of technology were used during the response and recovery phases? Summarize them.
What tools, equipment, or technology could have significantly improved relief efforts? How?
Were any special technologies or scientific developments used to restore the situation back to normal? If so, explain.
Who should be responsible for funding and providing the tools, equipment, and technology—federal, state, or local governments? Why?
Were there any coordination problems, such as interagency communication or conflict? Why or why not?
What types of forecasting technologies could have been or were used in the event you selected? Explain.
Were they effective? Why or why not?

ABSTRACT
This research proposal will answer the question of how prepared fire departments
are to respond to major disasters, by utilizing SOP’s SOG’s and mutual aid. It will
discuss problems that lie within these guidelines, such as communication issues, and
different equipment issues. The research proposal will also take a look at how well the
local fire department is prepared for any major incidents that arise, based on a small
population group, and a survey provided by the researcher to this group.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Often times disaster strikes on an extremely large scale, a scale that is too big for
one agency to handle. When these types of disasters strike multiple agencies come
together to mitigate the incident. One of the biggest challenges to mitigating incidents
when multiple agencies are brought together is finding the middle area based on how all
the agencies operate, since many agencies have different operations. Scoppetta (2008)
stated that having capability and flexibility are vital components of being prepared for
natural disasters and when multiple agencies that come together have these qualities
disasters are mitigated with relative ease.
Background Context
Often time’s major disasters are too large for one municipal fire department to
handle and these departments call upon mutual aid. The mutual aid will almost always
have different literature and training on how to respond to these incidents, which can lead
to major complications on scene. By utilizing national models and outlines on how to
respond to incidents these problems are often curbed, however the challenge is getting all
agencies to have training once and a while to cover these models. This research project

For more than thirty years, the U.S. emergency manage-
ment community has been increasing its ability to struc-
ture, control, and manage a large response. The result of
this evolution is a National Response System based on
the National Response Plan and the National Incident
Management System that is perceived to have failed in
the response to Hurricane Katrina. Over the same
period, social scientists and other disaster researchers
have been documenting and describing the nonstruc-
tural factors such as improvisation, adaptability, and cre-
ativity that are critical to coordination, collaboration,
and communication and to successful problem solving.
This article argues that these two streams of thought are
not in opposition, but form orthogonal dimensions of
discipline and agility that must both be achieved. The
critical success factors that must be met to prepare for
and respond to an extreme event are described, and an
organizational typology is developed.
Keywords: response; critical success factors; agility;
improvisation; discipline
Extreme events such as the September 11,2001, attacks on the United States, the De-

CRJ Module 8 Overview
Terrorism and the Future of Emergency Management
The September 11th (9/11) and the October 2001 Anthrax attacks together prompted dramatic changes in U.S. emergency management and have been the impetus for a reexamination of the nation’s emergency management system, its priorities, funding and practices. These changes are ongoing and will continue for the foreseeable future. In this module, you will learn how the government's hazard focus has been affected by the changing risk of terrorism. The events of September 11, 2001, the consequences of those events, and how the government responded will be discussed. You will also learn about the Department of Homeland Security along with its components and its role in emergency management.
In addition, you will investigate how the U.S. government communicates terrorist threat information to the public. You will outline how Hurricane Katrina affected terrorism preparedness and response. Lastly, the possibilities the future holds for emergency management and how the profession may be improved in the near future will be discussed and analyzed.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this module, you should be able to:
8I
Explain how the federal government funds first responders.
8J
Understand how the Department of Homeland Security was formed, its components, its role in the emergency management and counterterrorism efforts, and its accomplishments.
10C
Explain how the government's hazard focus has been affected by the changing risk of terrorism.
10D
Discuss the events of September 11, 2001, the consequences of those events, and how the government responded.

Emergency Management and the New Terrorist Threat
The September 11th (9/11) and the October 2001 Anthrax attacks together prompted dramatic changes in U.S. emergency management, and have been the impetus for a reexamination of the nation’s emergency management system, its priorities, funding, and practices. These changes are ongoing and will continue for the foreseeable future. Prior to 9/11, the Nunn-Lugar legislation provided the primary authority for domestic Federal preparedness activities for terrorism. FEMA, DOJ, HHS, DOD, and the National Guard all jockeyed for leadership on terrorism. Attempts a.

Preparedness and Mitigation
Storm Camille was the second-most extreme tropical violent wind to strike the United States on record. The most extreme tempest of the 1969 Atlantic typhoon season, Camille shaped as a tropical melancholy on August 14 south of Cuba from a since a long time ago followed tropical wave. Situated in an ideal domain for reinforcing, the tempest immediately strengthened into a Category 2 tropical storm before striking the western piece of the country on August 15. According to Buurman, Mens, & Dahm, (2017), emergency and disaster planning incorporates a sorted out, cooperated strategy of intending to facilitate the necessities with open resources. The stages are explored, forming, dispersal, testing, and revitalizing. Along these lines, an emergency plan should to be an active aspect that is irregularly adapted to changing circumstances in addition to that gives a manual for the traditions, techniques, as well as the division of obligations in emergency response.
Where the Organization Fall On the Preparedness Cycle
Rising into the Gulf of Mexico, Camille experienced another time of quick escalation and turned into a Category 5 sea tempest the following day as it moved northward towards the Louisiana– Mississippi area. In spite of debilitating marginally on August 17, the tropical storm rapidly re-increased back to a Category 5 preceding it made landfall in Pass Christian, Mississippi right off the bat August 18. The repeating idea of this model is imperative as it features that overseeing crises happens constantly, not simply amid 'the season' for instance for bushfires and tornados, It additionally demonstrates the manner in which the stages mix into one another and cover as opposed to being discrete classifications. This stage joins making gets ready for what to do, where to go, or who to call for help before an event occurs; exercises that will improve your chances of viably dealing with an emergency. For instance, posting emergency telephone numbers, and presenting smoke discoverers are all preparation measures.

Explain whether you agree with Kant's view that "an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination and with it every object of the will, so that nothing remains which can determine the will except objectively the law."

Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (selections)
Nothing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even out of it, which can be called good, without qualification, except a good will. Intelligence, wit, judgement, and the other talents of the mind, however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in many respects; but these gifts of nature may also become extremely bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good. It is the same with the gifts of fortune. Power, riches, honour, even health, and the general well-being and contentment with one’s condition which is called happiness, inspire pride, and often presumption, if there is not a good will to correct the influence of these on the mind, and with this also to rectify the whole principle of acting and adapt it to its end. The sight of a being who is not adorned with a single feature of a pure and good will, enjoying unbroken prosperity, can never give pleasure to an impartial rational spectator. Thus a good will appears to constitute the indispensable condition even of being worthy of happiness… A good will is good not because of what it performs or effects, not by its aptness for the attainment of some proposed end, but simply by virtue of the volition; that is, it is good in itself, and considered by itself is to be esteemed much higher than all that can be brought about by it in favour of any inclination, nay even of the sum total of all inclinations...
Now an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination and with it every object of the will, so that nothing remains which can determine the will except objectively the law, and subjectively pure respect for this practical law, and consequently the maxim that I should follow this law even to the thwarting of all my inclinations… Thus the moral worth of an action does not lie in the effect expected from it, nor in any principle of action which requires to borrow its motive from this expected effect. For all these effects agreeableness of one’s condition and1 Watch at least one of the posted videos for Week 10 below..docx

Dr. Leroy Little Bear connects quantum physics to the Indigenous belief in "spirit," an idea that implies each person's intense ethical relationship to the world. He also reminds us that science is as much a belief system (and value system) as any spiritual tradition. In a similar fashion, Physicist David Bohm (a student of Einstein) wrote a book called Wholeness and the Implicate Order, arguing that our measurements of the physical world provide an incomplete picture of reality, and that there is a non-local, interconnected realm in which everything is fundamentally linked to everything else.
Do you think that "infinite potential" can be left out of our discussion of ethics? You may recall that Kant, in the late 18th Century, left "noumena" outside of human cognition (which only knows "phenomena" or mental representations). In the 1920s, Whitehead questioned Kant's move to privilege reason over feeling, and to cast the metaphysical outside of human knowledge. In doing so, Whitehead offered a simpler explanation of ethics: the world itself is composed of feelings or values (prior to human cognition).
Looking at this question from your own background, tradition, and experience, do you think that we can experience the infinite (and, in it, infinite ethical interrelationship)?
Is it possible that science (as the video "Infinite Potential" suggests) is on the verge of discovering the "field" that connects all things. Ethically, this would mean that your every thought, word, and action affects the whole world. Given such confirmation, would you live any differently?
Conversely, do you think that the absence of scientific confirmation about (and interest in) the metaphysical dimensions of ethics allows us moderns to behave in questionable ways?

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

Discussion Topic #2:
Compare and contrast the NIMS and the National Response Framework (NRF). Do we need both?
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
Framework

After reviewing the article “First the Flood, Now the Fight” multiple times, I was unable to find clearly defined examples of horizontal or vertical integration in the article based off the definitions and examples we learned in the assigned video. Horizontal integration is when a company or organization acquires a similar company or organization in the same industry or field. The closest example to horizontal integration in the article occurred after the storm when FEMA oversaw and managed around 700 contractors and employees during the recovery process. Vertical integration is when a company or organization acquires a company that operates either before or after the acquiring company or organization in the production process. There was no clear demonstration of vertical integration that I found in this article.
Inter-organizational coordination after Katrina was poor and inconsistent at best. It was stated in the article that “current and former officials at all levels blame FEMA workers' inexperience with eligibility rules, weaknesses in U.S. disaster laws and inconsistent treatment by Congress for much of the wrangling”. I think the biggest problem was that the destruction that Katrina caused was so geographically widespread, that FEMA had to divide their personnel and resources up amongst a much larger area then originally planned for. Spreading their personnel out like this to cover a larger area is where I believe a lot of the problems happened, because it then forced them to have less experienced personnel operate in roles/capacities that they would otherwise not normally operate in because they were the only available resources at the time. This could have been one of the causes for the repeated disputes amongst local governments and FEMA representatives due to the improper interpretation of rules and disaster laws by FEMA representatives.
Horizontal recovery is something that I believe we in Emergency Management will revisit on many occasions. A form of temporary horizontal integration is something that occurs during most disaster recoveries. After a disaster, FEMA or a local emergency management agency usually takes over coordinating and leading the recovery effort. During this time, they also take control of available rescue and recovery organizations to use in whatever way to carry out the organization’s goal and overall mission. This is different than the corporate world where a company is taken over forever, whereas in the disaster recovery setting it is appropriate for this to occur on a temporary basis

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?

ABSTRACT: As is well known, most emergency incidents are managed by local
governments. However, when an incident of disaster-scale occurs, the traditional
model of emergency management has certain limitations. Emergency response
systems are primarily designed to manage incidents locally, not to facilitate
coordination across multiple jurisdictional boundaries. As a result, the threat of
a catastrophic terrorist attack and of other regional-scale natural disasters like
Hurricane Katrina has led to a policy demand for actual regional coordination
in emergency response. In this article, we discuss the local development of
regionalism in emergency management and present an approach to assessing
the effectiveness of such efforts (i.e., we examine local government conditions
conducive to regionalization). We discuss various strategies for assessing the
push for regionalism in emergency management, including providing several
regional integration performance indicators and an outline of the importance
of combining assessment strategies in this area. Our results suggest that local
capacity for regionalization, just as in other areas of emergency management, is
largely determined by unique local characteristics, thus presenting a challenge
to new policy doctrine.
KEYWORDS: disasters, emergency management, emergency response, regional

This decade has seen remarkable transformations in disaster and emergency
management policy in the United states. the magnitude of the terrorist attacks of

and other catastrophic incidents—the federal government moved decisively away
from its more traditional facilitative role in emergency management. instead it
moved to a much more centralized, top–down mode of policy development, more
explicitly directing state and local government actions (cigler, 2007; schneider,
2005). following the 9/11 attacks, the hurricanes of 2005, and especially the
ineffective response to hurricane Katrina, enhanced further the saliency of the
debate over how best to re-shape systems of preparedness for and management
of disaster incidents.

Mitigation Planning
Mitigation planning to include funding is important to building a sustainable and hazard-resilient community. Given the three layers of governmental bureaucracy (federal, state, and local) do you believe the system is readily accessible? How do you think the process can be improved to make funding available sooner and ultimately increase the level of mitigation activity? What checks and balances should remain, and which could be removed? Share any personal experiences with the process.

Good morning Y’all
The funding process is among the key determinant factors for the success of any mitigation measure directed to a disaster of any nature (Smith & Vila, 2020). Without sufficient funds, the hazard mitigation strategies are rendered ineffective in restoring the status of the community following a disaster. While funding is a critical factor in hazard mitigation, it is also one area with multiple ch ...
Scenario Three The Psychology of Disaster Preparedness In Sept.docx
Scenario Three: The Psychology of Disaster Preparedness
In September 2003 a Category Two hurricane made landfall in a town that was ill prepared for such a natural disaster. The hurricane claimed over 100 lives and caused approximately $1.4 billion in damages. This large American city had not experienced a natural disaster of this proportion for more than 100 years. Therefore, none of the current citizens had any personal knowledge of exactly what preparations might be in order to survive such an event. In the wake of the storm prosocial (helping) behaviors to aid hurricane victims were at an all-time high. Unfortunately, many lives were lost as a direct result of the lack of pre-disaster preparedness on the part of the citizens residing in the affected city.
Local and federal emergency management agencies have researched extensively what went wrong with their disaster response plans. Findings show that they were adequately prepared to respond to a disaster once it happened but that they were seriously lacking in preparing citizens to take seriously the possibility that disaster could strike at any time. In fact, in the days leading up to the approaching storm, many warnings were issued to the public to take precautions up to and including evacuation. However, public perception appeared to be that the media and local leaders were exaggerating the level of imminent danger. A recent national survey shows that even in light of this disaster and the widespread publicity it received, Americans are no more prepared for this type of catastrophe than they were in 2003 (FEMA, 2006).
These results are worrisome to federal and local authorities, and to disaster preparedness teams who attempt to warn the public of impending danger. The frustration lies in the fact that tactical plans for responding are well implemented, practiced, and executed successfully when disaster strikes. However, persuading the public to take seriously their personal responsibility has been a massive failure. Officials now realize that they need the advice of an applied social psychology expert to help them implement social marketing to raise public awareness of the need for disaster preparedness.
FEMA has retained you, an applied social psychology expert, to provide a scholarly analysis of the scientific, peer-reviewed literature on the factors related to attitude and behavior change such as risk perception, persuasion theories, persuasion techniques, motivation, and self-efficacy. You
PSY610: Applied Social Psychology Scenarios for Intervention Proposal must also render a professional opinion regarding your conclusion as to what FEMA officials can do to elicit greater public trust and participation in pre-disaster preparation particularly in towns where natural disasters are not likely to occur. Your opinion should be based on the scientific, peer-reviewed social psychology research that you reviewed. The following peer-reviewed journal articles are a good place to star.
The National Response Framework (NRF) expressly outlines roles and.docx
The National Response Framework (NRF) expressly outlines roles and responsibilities for various levels of government; these levels include not just the political leaders and administrations but also associated agencies. At the federal level, for example, DHS, FEMA, FBI, and DOD—among others—often play a marked role in all stages of crisis-response planning and management. At state levels, one can find the following (among others): state homeland security and/or emergency management offices; state highway patrol departments; state bureaus of investigations; state environmental, labor, or hazardous materials divisions. Local communities will also have regulatory agencies, commissions created by political leaders, task forces, interagency groups, citizens committees, and much more. Importantly, these many distinct entities spread across these levels also require unique technologies and capabilities.
Remember one more thing: all disasters are local. This means that the local community is normally the initial site of a crisis, incident, or disaster. Per the NRF, communities are expected to respond to the best of their capabilities and request help only when given resources are exhausted. In many cases, these requests for assistance are specific, covering specific needs. Local communities request resources from their intrastate regions or the state; states may request resources they’ve exhausted or don’t possess from neighboring states and/or the federal level.
For this unit’s assignment, you will use the Minnesota Bridge/ I-35W Collapse of 2007 as a case study.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 3–5 pages:
What are at least 3 forms of technology that made or could have made a significant difference in saving lives, lessening suffering, and/or protecting property? Explain in detail.
Describe each of the 3 technologies (specific form or class of capabilities). Discuss in detail.
Which level(s) of government did employ or should have employed this tool or capability? Explain.
Who specifically used it (or should have)? How did they use it? Explain and be specific.
How did each tool or type of technology make—or would have made—a significant impact in the management of this crisis? Explain.
Emphasize the ability to save or protect lives and property
Note the technologies you choose for this assignment may have been used or not.
They must be real, existing capabilities or tools that you will probably have to research specifically, not just “cool” ideas in need of invention or development.
Conclude your paper by arguing how and when technology is, or is not, a force multiplier for incidents such as the Minnesota Bridge Collapse, and support your arguments with evidence, not opinion.
Your final product should be well organized, well written, employ good mechanics, and be clear and persuasive. All information used that does not solely reflect original thought must be properly cited with appropriate references provided.

NIMS Supporting Technology Evaluation Program
For this assignment, you will research and examine an actual emergency situation of your choosing (either a man-made or natural disaster) occurring within the last 8 years that required interaction among the local, state, and national levels. The research and examination should be reported in a paper written from the position of a local emergency management employee assigned to draft a report to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This assignment will require research into the authority, responsibility, and technological capabilities of FEMA.
Within the past 8 years, there have been many catastrophes, not necessarily involving terrorist acts but requiring crisis management resources. Examples include Hurricane Katrina; the 2010 oil well explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; the broken natural gas pipeline and resulting explosion in San Bruno, California; and major wildfires in California, Colorado, and other states, to name a few.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in a report of 750 words:
Briefly describe and summarize the event.
When did the event occur, and what happened?
Were there any casualties or injuries?
Was there any environmental damage? If so, explain
What was the primary cause of the event? Explain.
What intergovernmental jurisdictions were involved? How were they coordinated? Explain.
What types of technology were used during the response and recovery phases? Summarize them.
What tools, equipment, or technology could have significantly improved relief efforts? How?
Were any special technologies or scientific developments used to restore the situation back to normal? If so, explain.
Who should be responsible for funding and providing the tools, equipment, and technology—federal, state, or local governments? Why?
Were there any coordination problems, such as interagency communication or conflict? Why or why not?
What types of forecasting technologies could have been or were used in the event you selected? Explain.

ABSTRACT
This research proposal will answer the question of how prepared fire departments
are to respond to major disasters, by utilizing SOP’s SOG’s and mutual aid. It will
discuss problems that lie within these guidelines, such as communication issues, and
different equipment issues. The research proposal will also take a look at how well the
local fire department is prepared for any major incidents that arise, based on a small

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Often times disaster strikes on an extremely large scale, a scale that is too big for
one agency to handle. When these types of disasters strike multiple agencies come
together to mitigate the incident. One of the biggest challenges to mitigating incidents
when multiple agencies are brought together is finding the middle area based on how all
the agencies operate, since many agencies have different operations. Scoppetta (2008)
stated that having capability and flexibility are vital components of being prepared for
natural disasters and when multiple agencies that come together have these qualities
disasters are mitigated with relative ease.
Background Context
Often time’s major disasters are too large for one municipal fire department to
handle and these departments call upon mutual aid. The mutual aid will almost always
have different literature and training on how to respond to these incidents, which can lead
to major complications on scene. By utilizing national models and outlines on how to
respond to incidents these problems are often curbed, however the challenge is getting all
agencies to have training once and a while to cover these models. This research project

For more than thirty years, the U.S. emergency manage-
ment community has been increasing its ability to struc-
ture, control, and manage a large response. The result of
this evolution is a National Response System based on
the National Response Plan and the National Incident
Management System that is perceived to have failed in
the response to Hurricane Katrina. Over the same
period, social scientists and other disaster researchers
have been documenting and describing the nonstruc-
tural factors such as improvisation, adaptability, and cre-
ativity that are critical to coordination, collaboration,
and communication and to successful problem solving.
This article argues that these two streams of thought are
not in opposition, but form orthogonal dimensions of
discipline and agility that must both be achieved. The
critical success factors that must be met to prepare for
and respond to an extreme event are described, and an
organizational typology is developed.
Keywords: response; critical success factors; agility;
improvisation; discipline
Extreme events such as the September 11,2001, attacks on the United States, the De-
cember 2004 Sumatra earthquake and Indian
Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the
October 2005 Pakistan earthquake produce cat-
astrophic immediate impacts and cause long-
term disruption of economic and social systems.
With the exception of the 9/11 attacks, these

Emergency Management and the New Terrorist Threat
The September 11th (9/11) and the October 2001 Anthrax attacks together prompted dramatic changes in U.S. emergency management, and have been the impetus for a reexamination of the nation’s emergency management system, its priorities, funding, and practices. These changes are ongoing and will continue for the foreseeable future. Prior to 9/11, the Nunn-Lugar legislation provided the primary authority for domestic Federal preparedness activities for terrorism. FEMA, DOJ, HHS, DOD, and the National Guard all jockeyed for leadership on terrorism. Attempts a.

Preparedness and Mitigation
Storm Camille was the second-most extreme tropical violent wind to strike the United States on record. The most extreme tempest of the 1969 Atlantic typhoon season, Camille shaped as a tropical melancholy on August 14 south of Cuba from a since a long time ago followed tropical wave. Situated in an ideal domain for reinforcing, the tempest immediately strengthened into a Category 2 tropical storm before striking the western piece of the country on August 15. According to Buurman, Mens, & Dahm, (2017), emergency and disaster planning incorporates a sorted out, cooperated strategy of intending to facilitate the necessities with open resources. The stages are explored, forming, dispersal, testing, and revitalizing. Along these lines, an emergency plan should to be an active aspect that is irregularly adapted to changing circumstances in addition to that gives a manual for the traditions, techniques, as well as the division of obligations in emergency response.
Where the Organization Fall On the Preparedness Cycle
Rising into the Gulf of Mexico, Camille experienced another time of quick escalation and turned into a Category 5 sea tempest the following day as it moved northward towards the Louisiana– Mississippi area. In spite of debilitating marginally on August 17, the tropical storm rapidly re-increased back to a Category 5 preceding it made landfall in Pass Christian, Mississippi right off the bat August 18. The repeating idea of this model is imperative as it features that overseeing crises happens constantly, not simply amid 'the season' for instance for bushfires and tornados, It additionally demonstrates the manner in which the stages mix into one another and cover as opposed to being discrete classifications. This stage joins making gets ready for what to do, where to go, or who to call for help before an event occurs; exercises that will improve your chances of viably dealing with an emergency. For instance, posting emergency telephone numbers, and presenting smoke discoverers are all preparation measures. Diverse points of reference fuse perceiving where you would have the ability to shield your animals in a calamity. One should similarly consider setting up a disaster unit with crucial supplies for your family and animals.

If you are commenting only in this forum, then please post a brief comment on Kant's notion of the "good will." Explain whether you agree with Kant's view that "an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination and with it every object of the will."
Explain whether you agree with Kant's view that "an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination and with it every object of the will, so that nothing remains which can determine the will except objectively the law."
Please be sure to use proper punctuation, and to avoid words and phrases that are vague and general. Aim for precision. Use short quotations from the primary text (the reading below) to develop and support your argument. It is perfectly acceptable to discuss lines or ideas that confused you.
Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (selections)
Nothing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even out of it, which can be called good, without qualification, except a good will. Intelligence, wit, judgement, and the other talents of the mind, however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in many respects; but these gifts of nature may also become extremely bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good. It is the same with the gifts of fortune. Power, riches, honour, even health, and the general well-being and contentment with one’s condition which is called happiness, inspire pride, and often presumption, if there is not a good will to correct the influence of these on the mind, and with this also to rectify the whole principle of acting and adapt it to its end. The sight of a being who is not adorned with a single feature of a pure and good will, enjoying unbroken prosperity, can never give pleasure to an impartial rational spectator. Thus a good will appears to constitute the indispensable condition even of being worthy of happiness… A good will is good not because of what it performs or effects, not by its aptness for the attainment of some proposed end, but simply by virtue of the volition; that is, it is good in itself, and considered by itself is to be esteemed much higher than all that can be brought about by it in favour of any inclination, nay even of the sum total of all inclinations...
Now an action done from duty must wholly exclude the influence of inclination and with it every object of the will, so that nothing remains which can determine the will except objectively the law, and subjectively pure respect for this practical law, and consequently the maxim that I should follow this law even to the thwarting of all my inclinations… Thus the moral worth of an action does not lie in the effect expected from it, nor in any principle of action which requires to borrow its motive from this expected effect. For all these effects agreeableness of one’s condition and1 Watch at least one of the posted videos for Week 10 below..docx

Dr. Leroy Little Bear connects quantum physics to the Indigenous belief in "spirit," an idea that implies each person's intense ethical relationship to the world. He also reminds us that science is as much a belief system (and value system) as any spiritual tradition. In a similar fashion, Physicist David Bohm (a student of Einstein) wrote a book called Wholeness and the Implicate Order, arguing that our measurements of the physical world provide an incomplete picture of reality, and that there is a non-local, interconnected realm in which everything is fundamentally linked to everything else.
Do you think that "infinite potential" can be left out of our discussion of ethics? You may recall that Kant, in the late 18th Century, left "noumena" outside of human cognition (which only knows "phenomena" or mental representations). In the 1920s, Whitehead questioned Kant's move to privilege reason over feeling, and to cast the metaphysical outside of human knowledge. In doing so, Whitehead offered a simpler explanation of ethics: the world itself is composed of feelings or values (prior to human cognition).
Looking at this question from your own background, tradition, and experience, do you think that we can experience the infinite (and, in it, infinite ethical interrelationship)?
Is it possible that science (as the video "Infinite Potential" suggests) is on the verge of discovering the "field" that connects all things. Ethically, this would mean that your every thought, word, and action affects the whole world. Given such confirmation, would you live any differently?
Conversely, do you think that the absence of scientific confirmation about (and interest in) the metaphysical dimensions of ethics allows us moderns to behave in questionable ways?

Plato's Allegory of the Cave seems to suggest that only through questioning social reality, and improving ourselves intellectually, can we discover the real source of virtue (and be virtuous). Aristotle's notion of phrónesis (“practical wisdom”) seems to dismiss the notion of an intrinsic source of virtue, to emphasize instead that virtue is a practical skill that we develop through practice, which enables us to reliably choose the middle point between extremes in all situations.
Who do you agree with more, Plato or Aristotle? And why?
"Virtue is a state of character concerned with a choice, lying in a mean relative to us, this being determined by a rational principle, and by that principle by which the person of practical wisdom would determine it." (Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 2.6)

Whitehead and Dr. Leroy Little Bear both emphasize the ethical implications of interconnectedness. We have seen in this course that moral frameworks from the Age of Reason emphasize knowledge/reason, while alternatives (care ethics, ecological ethics, Indigenous ethics, Buddhist ethics, nonwestern ethics) emphasize wisdom. What is wisdom? The sciences of ecology and quantum physics tell us about interconnectedness, based on careful measurements (knowledge), but can this sense of interconnectedness be accessed through contemplative wisdom?
Do we need an ethics grounded in wisdom?
As a group do you think that, as individuals, we ever experience ethical interconnectedness that is metaphysical or part of "spirit"? Are the brain and the mind the same thing?

The background of the research is the personal and professional experience of the researcher, who has worked in the museum sector in Ireland for the past five years and has recently moved into the university advancement sector. Through this experience, the author has identified gaps within fundraising strategies in Irish museums, which has led to an interest in exploring similar institutions and learning from their strategies.
This background is significant because it provides context for the research question and objectives, along with a personal motivation for the researcher. It also suggests that the author has a deep understanding of the museum and higher education sectors in Ireland, which can be valuable in conducting the research and analysing the results..
Research question and objectives
The inquiry into whether museums should seek guidance from higher education on fundraising strategies presents an intriguing topic for discussion. It is worth noting that both sectors rely on government grants, trusts, and philanthropy to supplement their budgets, among other similarities. However, universities have been fundraising for considerably longer than museums and have even established development offices solely dedicated to fundraising efforts. As a result, universities have developed sophisticated strategies for identifying and engaging donors. There may be valuable insights that museums can gain by examining and adapting these strategies to their specific requirements. The choice of Trinity College Dublin and Chester Beatty as case studies reflects the authors’ personal connection and deep understanding of these institutions, which can provide a rich and nuanced understanding of their fundraising strategies.Email us Homework1078@gmail.com cdfvf - Copy.pdf

FIRST UP: AI: What You Need to Know
AI is Multi-Generational – kids with tablets to grannies with smart phones are on AI.
AI Has Zero Barriers to Entry – so may AI tools are free.
The AI Can Train You on How to Use It – imagine if a spreadsheet or word processor had done it
AI Add-Ons: Apps, Search, Development – as AI cuts across every domain.
AI Lifecycle: The idea appears. The invention is created. There is select access due to cost and who controls the invention. Then public access starts to take shape.
Media Hype happens. News Reports come out.
AI Adoption: The tech or software is labeled a fad. With time, it becomes a trend due to FOMO.
Utility and use-cases come to those participating. Then the Next
Generation of products come out. Final stage is it becomes mainstream (IE: the toaster in your kitchen).
Innovation Invites Investigation: Review the news headlines on these inventions. The headlines spoke of the risks, the dangers and how civilization would crumble. Things like Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying machines, Distance writing (the telegraph), Speaking telegraph (the phone), Horseless carriage, Electric lamp, Word processing, Spreadsheets, Electronic mail, Wireless Telephone and social media.
Dirk’s Demon to Toaster Cycle The idea that every demonized innovation or technology eventually becomes as ubiquitous as the lowly single-function bread toaster.
Innovation Lifecycle Gartner© Hype-Curve is explained with examples for where I think AI currently fits on the curve.
Beyond AI, there are Universal Options for Transferable Skills. Those include Budgets in general. This to seek out include Budget Management, Excel (Visualization, Report Automation), Accounting Software (Compliance), Profit and Loss (P&L) Responsibilities.
Oral Communication skills for things like Streams, Video Meetings, Presentations, F2F Meetings, 1 on 1 Coaching, Team Mentoring. Written skills help across Emails, Reports, Online Content, Policies & procedures and Learning & Development (L&D).

Albright College Public Hurricane Katrina and FEMA Role Case Study.pdf
- 1. Albright College Public Hurricane Katrina and FEMA Role Case Study Analysis 2 Question DescriptionCase Study 2Hey there, this is a case study that I have provided all information for below. I will also attach a sample once I have chosen a tutor and I can provide any information that is needed IF I HAVE IT!These assignments are designed to provide you an opportunity to think about how you would handle specific public administration issues. There is no right or wrong answer for the assignments, per se. Your memo should have the following sections:Central IssueMajor Factors in Development of Policy/Management ProblemAlternatives for Resolving the ProblemAuthor’s Recommended Solution and RationaleLessons for Public AdministrationGrades will be determined on:Ability to present the relevance of the case, main facts, key issues, theoretical relationships, and practical lessons;Ability to adequately address the five sections;Ability to support your arguments; andAbility to write in a professional fashion.Case Study #2: HKS 1843.0 (Hurricane Katrina: Preparing for “The Big One” in New Orleans)This case tells the story of the lead-up to the storm, detailing the plans that officials would draw on to prepare for the hurricane’s onslaught, the steps that were taken to evacuate and shelter hundreds of thousands of residents in metropolitan New Orleans, and the communications among different agencies and levels of government as the storm drew near; it shows officials concerned about the effects of the hurricane, but confident that their preparations were commensurate with the challenges that Katrina would pose. The case asks readers to consider why local, state, and federal governments all proved unready to respond effectively to a catastrophic event which had been long predicted.Since the attacks of September 11th, 2001 the government has shifted the focus of many agencies towards terrorism. The reorganization of many agencies into the newly formed Department of Homeland Security has changed the operational structure with which many have been accustomed. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has asked you to form a work group to explain what some of the problems with DHS’s structure that were prevented it from helping Louisiana and the surrounding states prepare for hurricane Katrina.Recommended questions to address or to consider:What actions were taken by local, state and federal agencies to prepare for Katrina? Was DHS involved in these? Were they prevented from being involved?How had FEMA’s role and resources changed since becoming part of DHS?How could FEMA have been better able to assist in
- 2. preparations?What organizational changes in DHS and FEMA would allow for better preparation in the future?
