Changes Within FEMA Select ONE of the topics listed below and write a 2-page paper . You must include a minimum of two references, one being from an outside, non-GU source. Topic #1 The decision to move the Federal Emergency Management Agency into the Department of Homeland Security changed the dynamics of emergency management, including the function and focus of FEMA, the interactions between the nations lead emergency manager and the President, among other changes. On one side, there is the feeling that incorporating FEMA into DHS has helped to concentrate the agencies dealing with hazard and risk under one roof, thereby eliminating some of the problems that occurred on September 11th. On the other side is the argument that inserting FEMA into DHS has severely weakened the ability of FEMA to perform its required function. Use this forum to state your opinion on whether or not you think FEMA belongs in DHS, or whether it should be returned to Cabinet-level status, and support your answer with examples (hypothetical or actual). Topic #2 FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate has made several significant changes to the way in which FEMA operates, which are intended to trickle down to the State and local levels. Examples include the Whole Community concept, a greater use of social media, and a move back towards the All-Hazards Emergency Management approach. State your impressions of Administrator Fugate’s tenure at FEMA, and give examples to support your statements. All of the written work submitted must clearly be your own. Keep in mind transcription of material (copying), followed by parenthetical identification of the source with little or no original thought added does not constitute an adequate essay. You are expected to provide some evidence that at least a significant portion of the each essay is your own reaction to, thought about or evaluation of the subject of the essay, composed in your own words. Agreement, disagreement, examples, etc. are appropriate – as long as evidence of some thoughtful and pertinent independent thought, reaction, or response to the term or question is included. ...

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.

HM500 Crisis and Emergency ManagementUnit 2 Discussion Question

SusanaFurman449

HM500: Crisis and Emergency Management Unit 2 Discussion Question Part 1: Topic: Out of Control Grass Fire You are the director of emergency services for your community. The temperature outside is over 100 degrees, the humidity is only 17%, and the Santa Ana winds have begun to blow. At 10:15 a.m., a grass fire is reported and the local fire department is responding. As these first units arrive on scene they realize that the fire is out of control, and that homes are being threatened. The on-scene commander quickly calls for additional fire units and for the police to begin evacuating homes that are being threatened. By 1:30 p.m., the fire has grown 10 times its original size and continues out of control; several houses are in immediate danger, and all local resources are now exhausted. What steps would you take and when would you call for mutual aid? Additionally, at what point would you request federal assistance? Discuss the options available to you as the director of emergency services. Provide a thorough explanation of your choices. Part 2: Respond to Student #1Unit 2 Discussion - Out of Control Grass Fire Kathryn Ostrom posted May 14, 2021 12:28 PM Hello Professor and Class, Due to the fire growing 10 times its original size, my first step would be calling for neighboring fire departments to assist in controlling the fire and helping to evacuate residence. It is important to asses which direction the wind is blowing to determine the direction the fire will continue to go until it is put out. If this did not at least slow the fire, this is when I would request federal assistance. "Federal responsibility for wildfire suppression is intended to protect lives, property, and resources on federal lands" (Hoover, 2019). Due to the fire continuing to grow and local response not being able to control it, to ensure lives are protected it would be important to call for federal assistance. They would be able to help with controlling the fire, evacuation of residence, and additional resources for individuals who have had to leave their homes. Thank you, Kathryn Ostrom Hoover, K. (2019, July 11). Federal Assistance for Wildfire Response and Recovery. Congressional Research Service. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/IF10732.pdf Part 2: Respond to Student #2Unit 2 Discussion Matthew Burdette posted May 14, 2021 11:25 PM There are a few steps that I would take when deciding to call for mutual aid. After assessing the situation, I would identify the resources and agencies available to me. I can do this by reviewing my state’s Mission Ready Package or MRP. FEMA (2017) explained the MRP as “a specific mechanism that uses NIMS resource typing criteria to describe expected mission parameters and select the resources” (p. 12).

HM500Unit 6 DQTopic 1 Developing an Emergency Response Plan

SusanaFurman449

HM500 Unit 6 DQ Topic 1: Developing an Emergency Response Plan Developing an emergency response plan is critical and requires considerable planning. The plan must be comprehensive to include, federal, state, local, and private sector resources. Discuss the major components of a quality emergency response plan. In your discussion address how you would ensure that if the plan had to be executed that the organizations involved would be prepared to respond. Topic 1: Topic 1: Student Response #1: (Respond to Josh below) Josh Moskaitis I think we can all agree that conducting a risk assessment in the forefront is perhaps the most important part of any emergency response plan. This sets the foundation for identifying risks and hazards that our response area could be exposed to. Planning, training, coordination and communication are equally as important. Planning helps us to outline how we would respond in kind to the incidents, risks and hazards that we identified in our risk assessment. Training ensures that each agency involved is on not only on the same page but understand their responsibilities once that plan is enacted. Coordination goes hand in hand with training, properly coordinated actions results in a well coordinated dance with everyone knowing their part. And communication, we cannot stress enough how important communication is because if we cannot properly transmit information in real time within the responding agencies, our plan is going to suffer and things could be missed. The best way to ensure all of these steps are followed and the plan gets executed properly is simply to train on it quarterly as well as hold hot washes, an after action get together where what went right and what went wrong is discussed so that we can improve. Continuous training as well as constant communication is the only way we all get on the same page. Topic 1: Topic 1: Student Response #2: (Respond to Gabe below) Gabe Gil A successful emergency operations plan (EOP) requires cooperation and understanding from all groups and agencies involved. A major component of the EOP is the base plan. “The base plan: Contains the most comprehensive information about the community, its risks, its statutory authorities, and the general concept by which emergency operations are conducted (Haddow et al, 2021, p. 136). This is an important component because it lays out what the problem is, the risks or hazards it proposes, and who has what authority or roles and responsibilities for certain actions. This supports the idea that risk assessment is an important part of the EOP. Risk assessment can also be a great tool for inclusion and preparation of all supporting organizations. Including them in the risk assessment conversation will allow any uncertainty in the plan to be vocalized and help with better cohesion as the plan is implemented. To make sure that all levels have a common vision of the EOPs goals and focus, we have NIMS and the NRF that help with the concept of ...

HM501 Unit6 DQ Part 1 Topic 1: Lessons Learned (Respond below) As you contemplate how to restructure DHS, are there any lessons learned from the creation of FEMA that can provide guidance on how to restructure DHS? Part 2 Topic 1: Student Response #1 (Respond to Carly) Carly Adams 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. Bullock, J.A., Haddow, G.D., Coppola, D.P. (2018). Homeland security: The essentials. (2nd ed.). Butterworth-Heinemann. Topic 1: Student Response #2 (Respond to Diego) Diego Salgado 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. References Bullock. J. A., Haddow, G.D., & Coppola, D.P. (2018). Homeland Security: The Es ...

The National Response Framework (NRF) expressly outlines roles and.docx

dennisa15

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. Be sure to reference .

Within your posting, describe how your chosen items tie to your course so far. You may use the Library or any other outside resource for your research. Be sure to use proper citation. Part 2: Topic 1: Student Response #1 (Respond to Angela Spindle below) Hello everyone. These are the current events I chose. I believe both of them tie directly to things we have covered in the last two weeks. Five Handguns Caught at Baltimore/Washington Checkpoints in June So far this has brought the total for this year to just one less that the total for all of 2020. In each instance TSA found the guns using x-rays for carry-on bags during passenger check in. This ties to the course so far because TSA was created for homeland security, and this is an example of the work they do. White House urges mayors to meet with state cybersecurity officials on ransomware. The White House is asking for Mayors to be more proactive with their cybersecurity measures in light of all the recent ransomware attacks. This is tied to this course so far because we have covered homeland security policies, and even spent some time coming up with changes we would suggest to help. This article pushes that further by acknowledging that it is an ongoing issue that we must all stay on top of. References Five Handguns Caught at Baltimore/Washington Checkpoints in June. (n.d.).

The crime affected some data from the U.S., South Korea, and Taiwan operations. Employee and customer personal information was compromised, but no financial data was compromised. I use this is as an example of a cybercrime being committed to a U.S. based company with International operations. This type of crime demonstrates the importance of cyber-protection within the private sector on their internal networks as referenced in our textbook (Bullock, et al., 2018).

Invervention Proposal (all assignments mentioned below are attached) In Week Three, you created a literature review around the scenario that you selected in Week One (scenario is below). For the Week Six assignment, you will create an intervention proposal that contains a professional recommendation for the chosen case study. The Intervention Proposal should incorporate the Week Three Literature Review and Week One Annotated Bibliography assignments. In a 10- to 12-page paper (not including the title page or references page) the student will: Briefly restate the problem from the chosen case study. Compose a thesis statement that contains the student’s professional recommendation. The thesis statement should be located near the end of the second paragraph of the report. Explain the relevant theories and empirical studies that have led to the student’s professional recommendation. The explanation must include evaluations of seven to eight, peer-reviewed articles from the Annotated Bibliography that was created in Week Two. At least one of these articles must be about a specific empirical study. In addition, the explanation must: Evaluate each article (comparing and contrasting them with the other articles) and answer the following questions: What was the researchers’ research question? What was their hypothesis? How many participants did they have? Was the research design method appropriate for that particular hypothesis? Was it valid? Did their findings support the hypothesis? What are the implications? What are the limitations? Discuss the opposing sides to the student’s recommendation and explain: Why it is relevant. Why it should be considered. Why it should be discounted for this recommendation. Discuss any limitations or gaps in existing research. Restate the professional recommendation in one to two concluding paragraphs. The paper must include a title page and references page, and it must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Organization tip: It is best to start with the least related and most broad article and move toward the most relevant. It can be helpful to think of the organization for this report as a funnel: The articles evaluated should get more and more specific and narrow in breadth throughout the report. Language Note: This report is being written for an audience that is not familiar with the theories and material that are discussed. This means that the paper needs to be accessible to all individuals. All technical terms, acronyms, and theories should be explained and jargon should be avoided. 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.

Thinking Passage: The Dangers of Ambiguous Language Ken Davis University of Potomac Yvonne Hood Questions for Analysis 1. If the pilot of the airplane were alive (all crew died in the crash), how do you think he would analyze the cause of the crash? 2. How do air traffic controllers and the FAA analyze the cause of the crash? 3. How do you analyze the cause of the crash? What reasons led you to that conclusion? 4. Describe a situation that you were involved in, or that you heard about, in which a misunderstanding resulted from an ambiguous use of language. Have a lot of time on your hands and become bored easily? Encounter the urge to “cheat” and check in with your usual technology outlets? Seek out non-technological forms of engagement that you had begun to disregard, such as reading favorite books or magazines, talking with a friend, or just going on a walk? Begin to consider how important your relationship to technology has become to your daily life and self-identity? Become freed up to engage more deeply or creatively with your own thoughts? Feel either more relaxed and at ease, or more anxious and distracted? After responding to these questions, analyze what factors accounted for your experience. Would you do a technology break again? Students will be required to explore and discuss regionally distinct yet similar youth cultural subgroups in a research paper. The purpose of this paper is to allow each student the opportunity to identify the historical, social, cultural and environmental aspects of one youth subgroup from a region outside of the United States and to then compare it to a similar subgroup from within the United States. The paper should be at least 10 pages (excluding title page, images, abstract, and bibliography), double-spaced 12-point Arial font, and written in APA format.
