Click on the following links for the Phase 4 Reading Assignment: 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? What conclusions and recommendations could you make? Explain. Compile your responses in the final report, and submit the file to your instructor. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. .

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.

HSEM Employment Gap
This document discusses the gaps between the emerging homeland security and emergency management industries and higher education. It defines the key differences between homeland security and emergency management and analyzes their respective career markets. Homeland security focuses on active and passive measures to protect the US while emergency management is a broader framework of prevention, mitigation and response systems. The document examines employment dilemmas, as these fields are still emerging and organizations have not fully embraced related positions. It identifies the need for standardized training and outlines common competencies required across homeland security careers, which generally require at least a bachelor's degree.

Unit IVProject Disaster Recovery The purpose for this Unit IV Projec
Unit IVProject Disaster Recovery The purpose for this Unit IV Project is to describe how emergency management has changed over the last 20 years in your community with both preparation and technological advancements. Be sure to identify your local community. Compare those changes over the years to that of the post-Katrina era. For this assignment, you are to take photographs of your local community (e.g., governmental or nongovernmental organizations, railyards, firehouses, police departments) so that you can show what your area has done to address the issue of a disaster. Using what you learned about your community and what you learned about past disasters from Units III and IV, write a report concerning your community’s disaster organization plans and addresses the points listed below. Explain how either governmental or nongovernmental organizations were or are able to use technology in order to plan for future disasters.
Explain who conducted these efforts from a governmental or nongovernmental agency and the vulnerabilities they faced in their community, and include the role these individuals or groups played with mitigating, responding, and/or recovering from the risk.
Examine the causes and recovery efforts of at least one past disaster that either occurred in your community or that you have researched.
Explain the causes and contributing factors of this disaster. Examine the vulnerability in a larger context. Considering past disasters, either in your community or surrounding areas, do you feel that your community has done enough to prevent future disasters? Why, or why not? What recommendations can you offer to your community to address future risks? Consider future tasks that are associated with the governmental or nongovernmental agency, and use that information to help you explain how your community may be vulnerable to future disasters and emergencies.
Discuss the documentation (e.g., policies, procedures) in place to mitigate the future hazards. Your paper should be a minimum of four pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages (title and reference pages do not count toward meeting the minimum page requirement).
You are required to use a minimum of three outside sources for your assignment; at least one should be from the Waldorf Online Library. You should also use your textbook as a source. All sources, including the textbook, must be cited and referenced according to APA Style guidelines. Additionally, include at least four visual aids/images that support your content.

HM500 Crisis and Emergency ManagementUnit 2 Discussion Question
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

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).

Invervention Proposal (all assignments mentioned below are attache.docx
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.

This document discusses the roles of leadership, credibility, communication, and collaboration in emergency response and planning. It emphasizes that leadership is crucial and involves gaining credibility through expertise, communicating clearly and concisely, and collaborating by building consensus. The document provides examples from the author's experiences responding to disasters like Hurricane Katrina, and stresses that occupational health professionals must anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control hazards to protect response workers.FEMA maintains National Situation Updates, designed to provide emerg.docx
FEMA maintains National Situation Updates, designed to provide emergency managers with information and graphics drawn from myriad agencies, governmental, media, and other. The materials provided can be used to promote situational awareness or potentially have other applications.
For this unit’s discussion, visit this
website
. The situation updates start with today’s date and work backward. The site also lists archives for reports extending back to 2005 (and including Hurricane Katrina). Visit the report from June 7, 2011. Note how subordinate elements overlap or are incomplete and should be read with others. For example, “fire activity” lists a roll up of fires across the country, but “Fire Management Assistance Grant” details a few truly significant fires. Also, “flooding” is captured and reported by five separate regions, but the “Significant National Weather” details reveal that there are many rainstorms headed to those same regions.
Assignment Guidelines
In 4–5 paragraphs, address the following:
Read through the reports of the last week. What trends or patterns are worth noting for the nation?
What information is particularly important for the region your county is located in?
Do you anticipate that your county will be specifically impacted by any of the conditions that are listed for the week?
Why or why not?
In answering this, consider how conditions elsewhere might ultimately impact your region or county. (Be creative and think about environmental, political, economic, or other factors that are normally beyond an emergency manager’s concerns but certainly in the realm of community leaders.)
Visit reports from May 10, 2011.
Which is the most important event of the day, in your opinion?
Do any of the incidents have meaning for your county—how so or why not?
Name and detail at least two significant events of that day with which you heard little or nothing.
What might each of these incidents mean for that region, in terms of consequences beyond the precise incident?
Examine the section on disaster declaration activity for this day. Research independently one of the disaster declarations that is named (specify which one) and give details about its genesis and status. Reference the source that you used for your information.

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

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.Assignment 1 LASA 2 Monitoring Our Home PlanetThe Internet

International Relations and Disasters - Page Num Edit
This document summarizes a research paper that explores the potential for applying the American Incident Command System (ICS) model for disaster response internationally. The author analyzes ICS and other command systems used worldwide to determine if they could be effective models for coordinating multi-jurisdictional disaster responses. The paper uses the 2014 King Fire in California as a case study to show how ICS criteria were effectively applied even during a massive response. The author argues that with increasing globalization, a coordinated international emergency management system is needed and that ICS shows promise as an adaptable framework for multi-national disaster response.
This weeks problem is a little tricky. You are asked to evaluate a .docx
This week's problem is a little tricky. You are asked to evaluate a list of terms. You need the context to make sense of this. You need to apply this to
an interagency task force
, that is, your agency and others which are not your agency. Harking back to my disaster management proposition last week, you see a common goal (solving a problem that all have an interest in solving, but at different levels of service. So my "interagency" for a flood is (a) Police; (b) Fire; (c) local government; (d) governor's office; (e) food, shelter, clothing providers; (f) highway department; others.
For example, “The President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) is a cabinet-level entity created by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, which consists of some 15 agencies across the federal government responsible for coordinating U.S. government-wide efforts to combat trafficking in persons” (
https://www.state.gov/j/tip/response/usg
). If you visit this U. S. State Department web site, you will find a list of federal agencies that contribute to this task force. They would generate unifying policies to inform members of appropriate action, and to reduce duplication of efforts.
Now I have a list of terms. Which apply and why could they incur conflict or disagreement between participating agencies?
Examine and analyze the following checklist developed by an interagency task force for choosing an organizational structure. From this list, select the criteria that you find to be the best in terms of their relevance and the way they are able to keep administrative agencies accountable to the public for results and transparency.
Evaluate and explain which ones you think are most often in conflict with each other.

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

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.

HSEM Employment Gap
This document discusses the gaps between the emerging homeland security and emergency management industries and higher education. It defines the key differences between homeland security and emergency management and analyzes their respective career markets. Homeland security focuses on active and passive measures to protect the US while emergency management is a broader framework of prevention, mitigation and response systems. The document examines employment dilemmas, as these fields are still emerging and organizations have not fully embraced related positions. It identifies the need for standardized training and outlines common competencies required across homeland security careers, which generally require at least a bachelor's degree.

Be sure to identify your local community. Compare those changes over the years to that of the post-Katrina era. For this assignment, you are to take photographs of your local community (e.g., governmental or nongovernmental organizations, railyards, firehouses, police departments) so that you can show what your area has done to address the issue of a disaster. Using what you learned about your community and what you learned about past disasters from Units III and IV, write a report concerning your community’s disaster organization plans and addresses the points listed below. Explain how either governmental or nongovernmental organizations were or are able to use technology in order to plan for future disasters.
Explain who conducted these efforts from a governmental or nongovernmental agency and the vulnerabilities they faced in their community, and include the role these individuals or groups played with mitigating, responding, and/or recovering from the risk.
Examine the causes and recovery efforts of at least one past disaster that either occurred in your community or that you have researched.
Explain the causes and contributing factors of this disaster. Examine the vulnerability in a larger context. Considering past disasters, either in your community or surrounding areas, do you feel that your community has done enough to prevent future disasters? Why, or why not? What recommendations can you offer to your community to address future risks? Consider future tasks that are associated with the governmental or nongovernmental agency, and use that information to help you explain how your community may be vulnerable to future disasters and emergencies.
Discuss the documentation (e.g., policies, procedures) in place to mitigate the future hazards. Your paper should be a minimum of four pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages (title and reference pages do not count toward meeting the minimum page requirement).

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,

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.

It emphasizes that leadership is crucial and involves gaining credibility through expertise, communicating clearly and concisely, and collaborating by building consensus. The document provides examples from the author's experiences responding to disasters like Hurricane Katrina, and stresses that occupational health professionals must anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control hazards to protect response workers.FEMA maintains National Situation Updates, designed to provide emerg.docx
FEMA maintains National Situation Updates, designed to provide emergency managers with information and graphics drawn from myriad agencies, governmental, media, and other. The materials provided can be used to promote situational awareness or potentially have other applications.
For this unit’s discussion, visit this
website
. The situation updates start with today’s date and work backward. The site also lists archives for reports extending back to 2005 (and including Hurricane Katrina). Visit the report from June 7, 2011. Note how subordinate elements overlap or are incomplete and should be read with others. For example, “fire activity” lists a roll up of fires across the country, but “Fire Management Assistance Grant” details a few truly significant fires. Also, “flooding” is captured and reported by five separate regions, but the “Significant National Weather” details reveal that there are many rainstorms headed to those same regions.
Assignment Guidelines
In 4–5 paragraphs, address the following:
Read through the reports of the last week. What trends or patterns are worth noting for the nation?
What information is particularly important for the region your county is located in?
Do you anticipate that your county will be specifically impacted by any of the conditions that are listed for the week?
Why or why not?
In answering this, consider how conditions elsewhere might ultimately impact your region or county. (Be creative and think about environmental, political, economic, or other factors that are normally beyond an emergency manager’s concerns but certainly in the realm of community leaders.)

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

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.Assignment 1 LASA 2 Monitoring Our Home PlanetThe Internet
Assignment 1: LASA 2: Monitoring Our Home Planet
The Internet is a powerful tool that provides the ability to monitor natural phenomena and disasters that happen all over planet Earth.
In this assignment, you will research resources available on the Internet for monitoring natural phenomena including earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, global climate, and weather.
Based on your research, do the following:
Identify a minimum of three different natural phenomena that are typically responsible for natural disasters. Analyze the potential impact of these disasters.
Analyze how these phenomenon are monitored, or not, via the Internet. Critique available Web sites, which publicly display up-to-date monitored information related to each of the natural phenomena you have identified. Focus on the following aspects:
Geography
What parts of the world are potentially affected by these phenomena? Specifically identify the countries.

International Relations and Disasters - Page Num Edit
This document summarizes a research paper that explores the potential for applying the American Incident Command System (ICS) model for disaster response internationally. The author analyzes ICS and other command systems used worldwide to determine if they could be effective models for coordinating multi-jurisdictional disaster responses. The paper uses the 2014 King Fire in California as a case study to show how ICS criteria were effectively applied even during a massive response. The author argues that with increasing globalization, a coordinated international emergency management system is needed and that ICS shows promise as an adaptable framework for multi-national disaster response.
This weeks problem is a little tricky. You are asked to evaluate a .docx
This week's problem is a little tricky. You are asked to evaluate a list of terms. You need the context to make sense of this. You need to apply this to
an interagency task force
, that is, your agency and others which are not your agency. Harking back to my disaster management proposition last week, you see a common goal (solving a problem that all have an interest in solving, but at different levels of service. So my "interagency" for a flood is (a) Police; (b) Fire; (c) local government; (d) governor's office; (e) food, shelter, clothing providers; (f) highway department; others.
For example, “The President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) is a cabinet-level entity created by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, which consists of some 15 agencies across the federal government responsible for coordinating U.S. government-wide efforts to combat trafficking in persons” (
https://www.state.gov/j/tip/response/usg
). If you visit this U. S. State Department web site, you will find a list of federal agencies that contribute to this task force. They would generate unifying policies to inform members of appropriate action, and to reduce duplication of efforts.
Now I have a list of terms. Which apply and why could they incur conflict or disagreement between participating agencies?
Examine and analyze the following checklist developed by an interagency task force for choosing an organizational structure. From this list, select the criteria that you find to be the best in terms of their relevance and the way they are able to keep administrative agencies accountable to the public for results and transparency.
Evaluate and explain which ones you think are most often in conflict with each other.
Public acceptance
Adaptability
Professional competence
Participation, representativeness, and diversity
Effective databases
Cost and timeliness
Promotion of private efficiency
Accountability to the president

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.

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.

Instructions
You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:
Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
Living Will Template:
Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes.

Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

Introduction
Base Salary Range
For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

The document discusses the importance of physical security for computer and network security. It notes that physical access negates all other security measures, as an attacker can directly access systems if they have physical proximity. It outlines several ways an attacker could exploit physical access, such as using bootable media like LiveCDs to access tools and directly image hard drives. The document emphasizes that physical security is foundational and must be carefully designed and implemented to protect against unauthorized access to systems and data.

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.
- 2. 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? What conclusions and recommendations could you make? Explain. Compile your responses in the final report, and submit the file to your instructor. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
