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 a brief explanation of the utility of the Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process related to local disaster response. Explain whether you think either or both are useful in the scheme of responding to local disasters. Defend your position. Then explain whether federal emergency recovery programs in general are over-used by the states and whether you think they are adequate in providing for recovery from catastrophic events and justify your position. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Readings Haddow, G. D., Bullock, J. A., & Coppola, D. P. (2014).

Nonprofits respond as intergovernmental organizations post katrina
The document discusses how nonprofits and intergovernmental agencies responded after Hurricane Katrina:
- Disasters require an intergovernmental response across state, local, and federal agencies as well as collaboration with nonprofits, who provide critical on-the-ground services.
- After Katrina, FEMA partnered with over 400 organizations, relying on their experience to quickly provide shelter and food. The Red Cross sheltered 14,000 people while faith groups and local nonprofits sheltered another 12,000.
- The response highlighted the importance of adaptive, decision-making, and contextual theories in disaster management, as well as challenges coordinating thousands of agencies under legal structures like the National Response

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

Fema And The Federal Emergency Management Agency
The document provides information on disaster management in Pakistan. It discusses that Pakistan is susceptible to various natural hazards due to its diverse terrain, including droughts, floods, earthquakes, and cyclones. It has faced major disasters like the drought from 1995-2000 and devastating floods in 2010. The document outlines Pakistan's disaster management framework, which includes the National Disaster Management Authority that oversees disaster preparedness, response and recovery efforts. It also discusses the disaster management operation cycle that ensures pre- and post-disaster measures through various overlapping phases depending on the disaster's magnitude.
Discussion Topic #1 What are the two key recommendations .docx
The two key recommendations from the 9/11 Report that will have the most impact are:
1. Improving information sharing and coordination among government agencies related to homeland security.
2. Strengthening emergency preparedness and response at all levels of government.
The National Response Framework was created to address these recommendations by establishing structures for coordinated domestic incident response, defining roles for all levels of government and the private sector, and emphasizing preparedness planning and cross-agency partnerships.

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
. The Incident Annexes will be revised a.

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?
Topic 1: Reply to Student #1 Below (Help the student, give advice)
Courtney Wheeler
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). ...

The Disciplines of Emergency Management: Recovery
Recovery often begins in the initial hours and days following a disaster event and can continue for months or years. Recovery involves decisions and actions relative to rebuilding homes; replacing property; resuming employment; restoring businesses; and permanently repairing and rebuilding infrastructure. Because the recovery function has such long lasting impacts and usually high costs, the participants in the process are numerous, and include all levels of government, the business community, political leadership, community activists and individuals. An effective recovery brings all players together to plan, finance and implement a recovery strategy that will rebuild the disaster-impacted area safer and more secure as quickly as possible.
Recovery activities begin immediately after a Presidential declaration as the agencies of the Federal Government collaborate with the State in the impacted area in coordinating the implementation of recovery programs and the delivery of recovery services. The Federal government plays the largest role in providing the technical and financial support for recovery, with FEMA obligating an annual average of $2.88 billion on public assistance projects for major disaster declarations (with an average of $58 million per major disaster declaration) and $153 million in individual assistance.
Question 1When it comes to disasters, some contend that governme.docx
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
After reading Chapter 11 in the textbook, go to the online Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., which is the compendium of federal agency regulations. Explore to find regulations of one or more of the following agencies. Select one regulation that you think has an impact on or is related to the phases of emergency management. (Click on “Browse parts” links, if needed, to access regulations.) Write a short summary of the purpose of the regulation you chose, including its context (what kind of regulation is it part of and what agency enforces it) and how it is related to or could impact emergency/disaster management at the local or state level; include a citation to the CFR section (for example 9 CFR 56.10).

The role of the non-governmental organization is to support the gove.docx
The role of the non-governmental organization is to support the government entities in response and relief in many ways during a disaster. The roles of the government entities are more clearly defined in the National Response Framework (NRF) and are guided by policies and laws (Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola, 2014). The partnership of governmental and non-governmental organizations allows for disaster relief efforts to be spread across different organizations and allows each organization to focus on their duties during an incident.
While governmental disaster relief is paid for using tax dollars and federal grants, non-governmental organizations must rely heavily on donations. These donations may come in the form of both monetary and goods. Many non-governmental organizations collect supplies such as toiletries, clothing, and food for disaster relief needs. These organizations can be small local non-government organizations or larger organizations such as the American Red Cross.
Unlike governmental disaster relief assistance, non-governmental organizations are often set up for immediate needs of people for a short term basis. Non-governmental organizations are not trained for pubic safety efforts but relief efforts during an incident. These duties may include providing a short term shelter, food, or even a point of contact during an incident as seen in the American Red Cross (2011) video provided in the Week 8 resources (Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola, 2014).
Non-governmental organizations such as the Red Cross are recognized by the federal government as a key player in disaster relief efforts. In disasters declared by the President, the Red Cross takes on a role working with the federal government to support the temporary housing and care of mass people. The Red Cross often helps with feeding both the disaster relief workers and the people affected by the disaster. The government takes a more long term role in housing after a major disaster through programs such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These relief programs are aimed at rebuilding after the incident versus the non-governmental organizations whom provide short term assistance during and/or directly following a disaster (Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola, 2014).

Chapter 2 emergency stakeholders
Emergency management involves many stakeholders at different levels who influence policy decisions. At the local level, the main stakeholder groups are social groups like households and community organizations, economic groups like businesses, and political groups including local government agencies. These stakeholders have varying degrees of power and interests relating to emergency management. It is important for emergency managers to understand the different stakeholders and involve them throughout the emergency management process.

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?

The media is often a considerable factor in how the public views the relative success or failure of the disaster response to major catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina. Describe a time where you have seen the media cover a disaster in your community. It can be a smaller scale disasters, like a fire or weather damage. Do you think the media properly handled this disaster, or was it detrimental to the response and recovery efforts? What would you suggest that the media do differently in the future?

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

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

Introduction The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the the.docx
Introduction
The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the “the provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected” (UNISDR, 2009, p. 25). The primary focus of the disaster response is on immediate and short-term needs. Some response actions may extend well into the recovery stage. Since January 2008, FEMA introduced the National Response Framework (NRF) which intends “to ensure that the government executives, private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand the domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident” (Haddow et al, 2014, p. 176).
The different definitions highlight the importance of collaborative work in the response while providing the required and coordinated assistance to save lives. In the aftermath of the 9/11 events, the changes made in the emergency management system in the United States has led to the issuances of several Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs) on matters pertaining to homeland security. One of the directives is the HSPD-5 Management of Domestic Incidents which establishes a single, comprehensive National Incident Management System (
NIMS
) and the National Response Framework (
NRF
).
The next paragraphs will give a short description of the HSPD-5. Then, a position of this presidential directive on its potential impact will complement the discussion.
Description Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5
The emergency response responsibilities in the United States first belong to the local entities, being local and tribal communities or the local governments. The request for support is going beyond the local level towards higher levels such as state or federal levels, only if the local capacities to handle the crisis are completely overwhelmed or exceeded.
Actually, when the President Bush issued the HSPD-5 in 2003, his purpose was to enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system. The management system covered the prevention, preparation, response, and recovery of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The HSPD-5 was also aiming at allowing all levels of government throughout the nation to work efficiently and effectively together.
Possible impacts of the HSPD-5
The establishment and the implementation of the HSPD-5 through the NIMS and NRF (previously national response plan) have its pro and cons.
Positive impacts
Further empowerment of state and local authorities:
Despite the perceivable centralization of power Federal level, the directive clearly recognizes the primary roles and responsibilities of State and local authorities for the m ...
Class, this is the final forum of the course. From our readings fro.docx
Class, this is the final forum of the course. From our readings from Week 8, we see that field of emergency management including the Incident Command System and NIMS have changed drastically over the years. The NIC has been developed in order to make sure that our incident management systems are as efficient and effective as possible. Going forward, there will inevitably be changes that will positively impact our emergency response and disaster planning organizations. In the past 50 years we have seen significant changes to the field of emergency management in our country. Some of the notable turning points in the field of emergnecy management include the following:
1974 - Disaster Relief Act of 1974
- The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 authorized the president of the United States to implement a program of disaster preparedness and relief aid that would enable use of all federal agencies. The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 states that any federal assistance offered is dependent upon the president authorizing such aid in the form of issuing a declaration.
1979
- FEMA is created.
1988 - Stafford Act
- Part of the reason for the change from the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 to the Stafford Act was the fact that the federal government was concerned about expanding disaster declarations beyond only natural disasters, and this included other types of incidents such as technological disasters (Three Mile Island in PA) and other instances outside the scope of natural disasters. Terrorism is not yet included. Federal assistance could be requested by the state on behalf of either the local government or state government. However, the request from the state must come from the governor.
2002 - Homeland Security Act
- The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks resulted in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). FEMA is now included under the umbrella of DHS.
HSPD-5 established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Plan (NRP).
HSPD-8 established policies to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies by requiring a national domestic all-hazards preparedness goal, establishing mechanisms for improved delivery of Federal preparedness assistance to State and local governments, and outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of Federal, State, and local entities.
2005 - Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act
- the performance of FEMA and other emergency management agencies during Hurricane Katrina results in the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (
PKEMRA
) of 2006. The act enhances FEMA's responsibilities and its autonomy within DHS. Significant and meaningful changes to FEMA were made to increase preparedness levels of the general population and aid in mitigation and resilience efforts. These changes also included incident managem.
Emergency Management Laws And Act
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the lead federal agency that coordinates disaster response and recovery efforts at the federal level. FEMA works closely with state and local emergency management agencies to support their response efforts when local resources are overwhelmed. FEMA oversees disaster response operations, provides assistance to impacted communities, and helps coordinate support from other federal agencies as needed.

Disaster Planning and Relief
In the area of disaster relief, there are a good many jurisdictional gray areas. The Constitution is
silent on the federal government’s role—there are no enumerated powers,; only implied powers:
From Article I, Section 8:
(1) The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the
debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all
duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States".
… [the remaining 16 provisions enumerating the powers of Congress]
(18) To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the
foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the
United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
In the early days, it was unclear if these provisions allowed Congress to even appropriate funds to
help out a specific geographical affected by a disaster.

Jack M. Balkin from Yale University explains:
One of the earliest and most contentious debates during the first years of the Constitution's history was whether or
not the federal government had the power, under its authority "to pay the debts and provide for the common defence
and general welfare of the United States," to spend money for disaster relief for a specific community.
Jeffersonian strict constructionists argued that the words "general welfare" precluded such a power, arguing first, that
the general welfare clause only gave Congress the power to spend on behalf of one of its other enumerated powers,
and second, that even if the power to spend for the general welfare were an independent power, Congress could not
devote money to a specific locality or region, but must spend for the entire country as a whole, i.e., "the general
welfare of the United States." Loose constructionists, following Alexander Hamilton, argued that the general welfare
clause gave Congress a separate power, and that the clause gave Congress wide latitude to spend money to promote
what it viewed as conducive to the general welfare.
These competing ideas took center stage in the aftermath of a devastating fire in Savannah, Georgia in 1796.
Hamilton and his federalist friends appealed emotionally to Southern Representatives in Congress to
encourage a broad reading of the Art 1, s 8(1). However, Southern Rep.

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.A Review Of The Social Science Research Literature
This document reviews social science research on planning, warnings, evacuation, and search and rescue activities related to disaster preparedness. It finds that while planning is important, it is often lacking due to a lack of public interest. Warnings are also complex, as the public's response depends on how they interpret the message based on their experiences and social context. Effective warnings provide clear information from trusted sources. Evacuation is influenced by factors like previous experience and social relationships. Search and rescue is important but often emergent and done by volunteers in the critical early stages. Overall, the document examines the social factors that influence different aspects of disaster preparedness and response.

The federal government, through a series of historical precedents, h.docx
The federal government, through a series of historical precedents, has an obligation to assist states when an incident “causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance under the Stafford Act to supplement the efforts and available resources” (Sylves, 2015, p. 92) of already participating actors. However, the nature of presidential disaster declarations relies on loose delineations on its use, and many requests may be viewed as controversial and politically charged in choice. The fact that declarations are highly discretionary and subjective must not be forgotten, and it is important to consider each approval and denial of aid and its amount with a critical eye that not only takes in the human and economic loss of the disaster, but also the political forces behind each decision based on previous and future intergovernmental relations and status.
Let’s say there is a hurricane poised to hit Florida and nearby states in two weeks’ time. The hurricane has been rated on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale as a category three hurricane with winds liable to hit up to 110 miles per hour, meaning possibly that “structures (may) sustain damage; manufactured housing (is) likely to be destroyed; trees (may) be blown down. Inland and coastal flooding” (Phillips, 2015, p. 13) are completely possible. In this instance, it may be wise for a gubernatorial request to be made before the hurricane hits Florida or the president may move forward and offer assistance even without a request or preliminary disaster assessment (PDA) (Sylves, 2015, p. 114). Requests carried out this way are beneficial as agencies in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can immediately dispatch anticipated resources needs, set up an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and begin the process of fully utilizing and supporting emergency management systems up to the national level. However, there are limits on presidential disaster declarations due to the bureaucratic nature of its process. While PDAs can be provided for initial disaster and response needs, declarations appear to be far more concerned with immediate, short-term response and recovery operations rather than long-term recovery, which is where the bulk of assistance is needed to return communities to normalcy. Response must concern itself with strategic objectives rather than just the operational needs of the moment, and while the nation and national government may feel that they have reasonably met the needs of a disaster after the first few weeks, the people and communities need months or even years to progress and move forward personally, socially, and economically into an environment of normalcy and security.
From what I have read, I think disaster declarations are a significant and necessary part of the measure of any functioning emergency management system, and that assistance should always be considered a bottom-up phenomenon.

Alabama Emergency Operation Plan

October 8, 2019
Introduction
Alabama Emergency Operations Plan (AEOP) was created to handle emergency situations natural or man-made.
It provides guidelines for incident:
Prevention
Response
Preparedness
Recovery
Disasters can occur at any given point in time. History has repeatedly shown the power of nature and havoc that it has created over time. Since the advancement of technology, these disasters have only increased in number. In order to prevent the state of Alabama from such disasters and minimize the loss in case of unavoidable situations, a plan is developed. This plan is present in all states of the U.S. so as to be prepared in case any problem occurs. Not only does it include the prevention techniques but it also elaborately discusses the mitigation and recovery from such an incident. Moreover, it provides explicit guidelines for the responding team. Through this plan, resources can be used most efficiently and effectively as well. The responsibilities of government bodies are also discussed. It further mentions the co-ordination of the emergency management plan of the local, state and federal government.

Emergency Management Organizations
Federal Organization
State Policies must comply with the Federal Policies
State Organizations
Alabama Emergency Management Act (AEMA)
Alabama Department of Homeland Security (ALDHS)
On a federal scale, there are policies present which every state must follow in order to mitigate and be prepared for any hazard that might occur. Planning, training and all kinds of funding are provided by the federal organization to the Alabama State in order to ensure that the policies are understood. Within the state, there are many organizations which work together in order to reduce the risks of disasters that might happen. They also help in mitigating those risks, work with the resources available and reduce its impact as much as possible. And if in the worst case scenario, a disaster does happen, the state organizations work together. AEMA is a bill which compels the governor of the state to coordinate with the local as well as the state bodies in order to respond to an incident which may have occurred or will occur in the future. Initially the state government must try to resolve the issues in the incident themselves and through the local bodies but if they fail to do so, they must seek assistance from the federal government and its organizations.
ALDHS was created in order to prevent any terrorist attacks from happening in the state of Alabama. Not only does it prevent attacks but provides immediate response to any terrorist attack or threat (EOP, 2012).
Moreover, any agency part of the state can be called for help in times of need on the orders of the Governor of the state (EOP, 2012).

The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of community health personnel and public health nurses during a disaster in Franklin County. It describes how public health nurses helped assess needs, treat injuries, and provide medical care during evacuations. They also helped establish temporary shelters with supplies for evacuees. The nurses worked to address both immediate medical needs as well as potential long-term issues in the community from the disaster.
Lesson 3 when disaster strikes, what can government do
This document provides an overview of a lesson examining government's role in disaster response and relief. It discusses how the federal government's role has expanded from minimal involvement to creating agencies like FEMA. The key points are divided into what government should and should not do. Activities where benefits outweigh costs, like maintaining law and order or providing public goods, are suitable government roles. However, directly providing disaster relief has high costs and government is often ill-suited due to incentives facing officials that can lead to ineffective responses. The lesson uses Hurricane Katrina as a case study.
ANSWER THIS QUESTION 250 WORDS MIN EACH Discussion Que.docx
1. The greatest vulnerability facing the emergency management discipline is its reliance on personnel. Emergency management personnel must make ethical decisions, but their training, goals, and values could exacerbate problems if not aligned properly. For example, emergency plans sometimes fail to adequately address the needs of vulnerable groups like people with disabilities.
2. Another key vulnerability is the organizational structure of FEMA. As a part of the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA has struggled to maintain its disaster response focus across all hazards. It needs more autonomy to coordinate effectively between different levels of government and relief organizations. The changing nature of risks also makes it difficult to prepare fully for every possible disaster scenario.
Post 1The whole community” approach as described in the Nat
Post 1
The “whole community” approach as described in the National Preparedness Goal refers to the shared responsibility amongst governmental, non-governmental, public and private sector entities, communities and individuals to work together in order to ensure national security and promote resilient communities (FEMA.gov, 2015, p. 1-2). Meaning that individuals must not simply rely on the federal, state or local governments to ensure thier safety and security, but individuals must take thier own safety seriously. Furthermore, the problem does not go away with more funding. Appropriate guidance, laws, education, training, and equipment all play significant roles in national preparedness.
The concept of “whole community” is important when viewing both short- and long-term effects that natural and man-made disasters can have on a population. Hurricane Katrina is a perfect example of the lack of a "whole community approach" resulting in improper risk analysis and poor emergency planning. The substandard response and recovery efforts at the federal, state and community-level contributed to almost every issue negatively impacting this incident. Ultimately, there was no precedent for a natural disaster of that magnitude and community leaders and residents found themselves unprepared. There was no distinct chain of command to delegate resources for recovery and rescue operations. Breakdowns in coordination from the federal level to the local level were apparent. “State and local authorities understood the devastation but, due to destruction of infrastructure and response capabilities, lacked the ability to communicate with each other and coordinate a response, struggled to perform responsibilities such as the rescue of citizens stranded by the rising floodwaters, provision of law enforcement, and evacuation of the remaining population of New Orleans (Townsend, 2006, ch. 5).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency leads the charge of the whole community approach to emergency management with the goal of facilitating a culture that shifts primary responsibility from the federal government managing disaster recovery to a community-centric approach. Creating crosstalk between emergency management stakeholders, decision makers, and communities, facilitates exchange of information and best practices that can be shared between communities that have the same hazards and threats. Additionally, community leaders are able to form a shared understanding of thier respective needs and capabilities, leverage resources, strengthen infrastructure, forge more effective prevention, protection, response and recovery while increasing preparedness and resiliency across the community and the nation (FEMA.gov, 2011, p. 3).
Fostering a culture of shared responsibility places responsibility of emergency management on governments thereby sharing that responsibility amongst non-governmental, public and private sector agencies, and individual persons with the community ...

VENICE FAMILY CLINIC 4
Venice Family Clinic
Introduction
Venice Family Clinic (VFC) is well‐known for giving quality wellbeing services to populaces deprived through a powerful volunteer model. Established in 1970, it has a long history of volunteerism, which has been coordinated into the way of life of the association. There is great leadership involvement in the model just as an internal framework set up to enlist and support volunteer doctors, including clinic space, systems for scheduling patients, and a full‐time volunteer organizer. Additionally, VFC has longstanding relationships with private healthcare facilities in the region.
A department likely to exist within the organization
VFC has a unit that offers psychiatric health services that incorporates counseling, mental services, and psychosocial support identified with the social stress of poverty, homelessness, joblessness, and aggressive behavior at home. Services include emergency intercession just as an individual, family, and group treatment. Albeit, once in a while, challenges make it difficult to pick an ideal setting; it is significant as well, where conceivable, think about privacy. VFC thinks about confidentiality as one of the keys to excellent communication, as the client is probably going to reveal data of a private and sensitive nature (Carroll & Richardson, 2016).
The financial condition of the Clinic
Venice's family clinic financial report of 2012 current liabilities is 3,398, 342, while the total existing assets total up to 9,913,386. Therefore, 2.89 is the current ratio of the clinic. This ratio is somewhat high, which implies, the clinic is not using its financial capabilities resourcefully. The clinic, however, is in a position to meet its short-term financial obligation because it has good liquidity. Conversely, 0.21 is the debt to equity ratio, which means the facility can manage its daily operations without getting help from financiers. At the beginning of the year, net resources remain at 20,690,947, while toward the end of the year, the net resource was 18,876, 692, which suggests that the facility has a net loss of 1,841,255. This clearly shows the medical clinic will experience financial constraints in sustaining its operations. Therefore, the clinic needs to control its cost to avoid losing the money (Carroll & Richardson, 2016).
Healthcare trends likely to affect the Clinic
Today, health care systems are determined to provide a patient-centered treatment, which is a trend brought about due to technology proliferation. Most health centers are integrating technology in their operation, clinical aspects, as well as administrative. As healthcare transform to becoming more goals focused and systemic, they are coming up with approaches and techniques aimed to improve the patient’s experience. Analytics are also involved in helping hospitals foresee future trends and guide decision making.

The role of the non-governmental organization is to support the gove.docx
The role of the non-governmental organization is to support the government entities in response and relief in many ways during a disaster. The roles of the government entities are more clearly defined in the National Response Framework (NRF) and are guided by policies and laws (Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola, 2014). The partnership of governmental and non-governmental organizations allows for disaster relief efforts to be spread across different organizations and allows each organization to focus on their duties during an incident.
While governmental disaster relief is paid for using tax dollars and federal grants, non-governmental organizations must rely heavily on donations. These donations may come in the form of both monetary and goods. Many non-governmental organizations collect supplies such as toiletries, clothing, and food for disaster relief needs. These organizations can be small local non-government organizations or larger organizations such as the American Red Cross.
Unlike governmental disaster relief assistance, non-governmental organizations are often set up for immediate needs of people for a short term basis. Non-governmental organizations are not trained for pubic safety efforts but relief efforts during an incident. These duties may include providing a short term shelter, food, or even a point of contact during an incident as seen in the American Red Cross (2011) video provided in the Week 8 resources (Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola, 2014).
Non-governmental organizations such as the Red Cross are recognized by the federal government as a key player in disaster relief efforts. In disasters declared by the President, the Red Cross takes on a role working with the federal government to support the temporary housing and care of mass people. The Red Cross often helps with feeding both the disaster relief workers and the people affected by the disaster. The government takes a more long term role in housing after a major disaster through programs such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These relief programs are aimed at rebuilding after the incident versus the non-governmental organizations whom provide short term assistance during and/or directly following a disaster (Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola, 2014).

Chapter 2 emergency stakeholders
Emergency management involves many stakeholders at different levels who influence policy decisions. At the local level, the main stakeholder groups are social groups like households and community organizations, economic groups like businesses, and political groups including local government agencies. These stakeholders have varying degrees of power and interests relating to emergency management. It is important for emergency managers to understand the different stakeholders and involve them throughout the emergency management process.

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?

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

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.

Introduction The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the the.docx
Introduction
The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the “the provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected” (UNISDR, 2009, p. 25). The primary focus of the disaster response is on immediate and short-term needs. Some response actions may extend well into the recovery stage. Since January 2008, FEMA introduced the National Response Framework (NRF) which intends “to ensure that the government executives, private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand the domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident” (Haddow et al, 2014, p. 176).
The different definitions highlight the importance of collaborative work in the response while providing the required and coordinated assistance to save lives. In the aftermath of the 9/11 events, the changes made in the emergency management system in the United States has led to the issuances of several Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs) on matters pertaining to homeland security. One of the directives is the HSPD-5 Management of Domestic Incidents which establishes a single, comprehensive National Incident Management System (
NIMS
) and the National Response Framework (
NRF
).
The next paragraphs will give a short description of the HSPD-5. Then, a position of this presidential directive on its potential impact will complement the discussion.
Description Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5
The emergency response responsibilities in the United States first belong to the local entities, being local and tribal communities or the local governments. The request for support is going beyond the local level towards higher levels such as state or federal levels, only if the local capacities to handle the crisis are completely overwhelmed or exceeded.
Actually, when the President Bush issued the HSPD-5 in 2003, his purpose was to enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system. The management system covered the prevention, preparation, response, and recovery of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The HSPD-5 was also aiming at allowing all levels of government throughout the nation to work efficiently and effectively together.
Possible impacts of the HSPD-5
The establishment and the implementation of the HSPD-5 through the NIMS and NRF (previously national response plan) have its pro and cons.
Positive impacts
Further empowerment of state and local authorities:
Despite the perceivable centralization of power Federal level, the directive clearly recognizes the primary roles and responsibilities of State and local authorities for the m ...
Class, this is the final forum of the course. From our readings fro.docx
Class, this is the final forum of the course. From our readings from Week 8, we see that field of emergency management including the Incident Command System and NIMS have changed drastically over the years. The NIC has been developed in order to make sure that our incident management systems are as efficient and effective as possible. Going forward, there will inevitably be changes that will positively impact our emergency response and disaster planning organizations. In the past 50 years we have seen significant changes to the field of emergency management in our country. Some of the notable turning points in the field of emergnecy management include the following:
1974 - Disaster Relief Act of 1974
- The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 authorized the president of the United States to implement a program of disaster preparedness and relief aid that would enable use of all federal agencies. The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 states that any federal assistance offered is dependent upon the president authorizing such aid in the form of issuing a declaration.
1979
- FEMA is created.
1988 - Stafford Act
- Part of the reason for the change from the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 to the Stafford Act was the fact that the federal government was concerned about expanding disaster declarations beyond only natural disasters, and this included other types of incidents such as technological disasters (Three Mile Island in PA) and other instances outside the scope of natural disasters. Terrorism is not yet included. Federal assistance could be requested by the state on behalf of either the local government or state government. However, the request from the state must come from the governor.
2002 - Homeland Security Act
- The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks resulted in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). FEMA is now included under the umbrella of DHS.
HSPD-5 established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Plan (NRP).
HSPD-8 established policies to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies by requiring a national domestic all-hazards preparedness goal, establishing mechanisms for improved delivery of Federal preparedness assistance to State and local governments, and outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of Federal, State, and local entities.
2005 - Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act
- the performance of FEMA and other emergency management agencies during Hurricane Katrina results in the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (
PKEMRA
) of 2006. The act enhances FEMA's responsibilities and its autonomy within DHS. Significant and meaningful changes to FEMA were made to increase preparedness levels of the general population and aid in mitigation and resilience efforts. These changes also included incident managem.
Emergency Management Laws And Act
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the lead federal agency that coordinates disaster response and recovery efforts at the federal level. FEMA works closely with state and local emergency management agencies to support their response efforts when local resources are overwhelmed. FEMA oversees disaster response operations, provides assistance to impacted communities, and helps coordinate support from other federal agencies as needed.

Disaster Planning and Relief
In the area of disaster relief, there are a good many jurisdictional gray areas. The Constitution is
silent on the federal government’s role—there are no enumerated powers,; only implied powers:
From Article I, Section 8:
(1) The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the
debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all
duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States".
… [the remaining 16 provisions enumerating the powers of Congress]
(18) To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the
foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the
United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
In the early days, it was unclear if these provisions allowed Congress to even appropriate funds to
help out a specific geographical affected by a disaster.

Jack M. Balkin from Yale University explains:
One of the earliest and most contentious debates during the first years of the Constitution's history was whether or
not the federal government had the power, under its authority "to pay the debts and provide for the common defence
and general welfare of the United States," to spend money for disaster relief for a specific community.
Jeffersonian strict constructionists argued that the words "general welfare" precluded such a power, arguing first, that
the general welfare clause only gave Congress the power to spend on behalf of one of its other enumerated powers,
and second, that even if the power to spend for the general welfare were an independent power, Congress could not
devote money to a specific locality or region, but must spend for the entire country as a whole, i.e., "the general
welfare of the United States." Loose constructionists, following Alexander Hamilton, argued that the general welfare
clause gave Congress a separate power, and that the clause gave Congress wide latitude to spend money to promote
what it viewed as conducive to the general welfare.
These competing ideas took center stage in the aftermath of a devastating fire in Savannah, Georgia in 1796.
Hamilton and his federalist friends appealed emotionally to Southern Representatives in Congress to
encourage a broad reading of the Art 1, s 8(1). However, Southern Rep.

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.A Review Of The Social Science Research Literature
This document reviews social science research on planning, warnings, evacuation, and search and rescue activities related to disaster preparedness. It finds that while planning is important, it is often lacking due to a lack of public interest. Warnings are also complex, as the public's response depends on how they interpret the message based on their experiences and social context. Effective warnings provide clear information from trusted sources. Evacuation is influenced by factors like previous experience and social relationships. Search and rescue is important but often emergent and done by volunteers in the critical early stages. Overall, the document examines the social factors that influence different aspects of disaster preparedness and response.

The federal government, through a series of historical precedents, h.docx
The federal government, through a series of historical precedents, has an obligation to assist states when an incident “causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance under the Stafford Act to supplement the efforts and available resources” (Sylves, 2015, p. 92) of already participating actors. However, the nature of presidential disaster declarations relies on loose delineations on its use, and many requests may be viewed as controversial and politically charged in choice. The fact that declarations are highly discretionary and subjective must not be forgotten, and it is important to consider each approval and denial of aid and its amount with a critical eye that not only takes in the human and economic loss of the disaster, but also the political forces behind each decision based on previous and future intergovernmental relations and status.
Let’s say there is a hurricane poised to hit Florida and nearby states in two weeks’ time. The hurricane has been rated on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale as a category three hurricane with winds liable to hit up to 110 miles per hour, meaning possibly that “structures (may) sustain damage; manufactured housing (is) likely to be destroyed; trees (may) be blown down. Inland and coastal flooding” (Phillips, 2015, p. 13) are completely possible. In this instance, it may be wise for a gubernatorial request to be made before the hurricane hits Florida or the president may move forward and offer assistance even without a request or preliminary disaster assessment (PDA) (Sylves, 2015, p. 114). Requests carried out this way are beneficial as agencies in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can immediately dispatch anticipated resources needs, set up an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and begin the process of fully utilizing and supporting emergency management systems up to the national level. However, there are limits on presidential disaster declarations due to the bureaucratic nature of its process. While PDAs can be provided for initial disaster and response needs, declarations appear to be far more concerned with immediate, short-term response and recovery operations rather than long-term recovery, which is where the bulk of assistance is needed to return communities to normalcy. Response must concern itself with strategic objectives rather than just the operational needs of the moment, and while the nation and national government may feel that they have reasonably met the needs of a disaster after the first few weeks, the people and communities need months or even years to progress and move forward personally, socially, and economically into an environment of normalcy and security.
From what I have read, I think disaster declarations are a significant and necessary part of the measure of any functioning emergency management system, and that assistance should always be considered a bottom-up phenomenon.

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 ...

Alabama Emergency Operation Plan
EMC/320
October 8, 2019
Introduction
Alabama Emergency Operations Plan (AEOP) was created to handle emergency situations natural or man-made.
It provides guidelines for incident:
Prevention
Response
Preparedness
Recovery
Disasters can occur at any given point in time. History has repeatedly shown the power of nature and havoc that it has created over time. Since the advancement of technology, these disasters have only increased in number. In order to prevent the state of Alabama from such disasters and minimize the loss in case of unavoidable situations, a plan is developed. This plan is present in all states of the U.S. so as to be prepared in case any problem occurs. Not only does it include the prevention techniques but it also elaborately discusses the mitigation and recovery from such an incident. Moreover, it provides explicit guidelines for the responding team. Through this plan, resources can be used most efficiently and effectively as well. The responsibilities of government bodies are also discussed. It further mentions the co-ordination of the emergency management plan of the local, state and federal government.

Emergency Management Organizations
Federal Organization
State Policies must comply with the Federal Policies
State Organizations
Alabama Emergency Management Act (AEMA)
Alabama Department of Homeland Security (ALDHS)
On a federal scale, there are policies present which every state must follow in order to mitigate and be prepared for any hazard that might occur. Planning, training and all kinds of funding are provided by the federal organization to the Alabama State in order to ensure that the policies are understood. Within the state, there are many organizations which work together in order to reduce the risks of disasters that might happen. They also help in mitigating those risks, work with the resources available and reduce its impact as much as possible. And if in the worst case scenario, a disaster does happen, the state organizations work together. AEMA is a bill which compels the governor of the state to coordinate with the local as well as the state bodies in order to respond to an incident which may have occurred or will occur in the future. Initially the state government must try to resolve the issues in the incident themselves and through the local bodies but if they fail to do so, they must seek assistance from the federal government and its organizations.
ALDHS was created in order to prevent any terrorist attacks from happening in the state of Alabama. Not only does it prevent attacks but provides immediate response to any terrorist attack or threat (EOP, 2012).
Moreover, any agency part of the state can be called for help in times of need on the orders of the Governor of the state (EOP, 2012).

The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of community health personnel and public health nurses during a disaster in Franklin County. It describes how public health nurses helped assess needs, treat injuries, and provide medical care during evacuations. They also helped establish temporary shelters with supplies for evacuees. The nurses worked to address both immediate medical needs as well as potential long-term issues in the community from the disaster.
Lesson 3 when disaster strikes, what can government do
This document provides an overview of a lesson examining government's role in disaster response and relief. It discusses how the federal government's role has expanded from minimal involvement to creating agencies like FEMA. The key points are divided into what government should and should not do. Activities where benefits outweigh costs, like maintaining law and order or providing public goods, are suitable government roles. However, directly providing disaster relief has high costs and government is often ill-suited due to incentives facing officials that can lead to ineffective responses. The lesson uses Hurricane Katrina as a case study.

1. The greatest vulnerability facing the emergency management discipline is its reliance on personnel. Emergency management personnel must make ethical decisions, but their training, goals, and values could exacerbate problems if not aligned properly. For example, emergency plans sometimes fail to adequately address the needs of vulnerable groups like people with disabilities.
2. Another key vulnerability is the organizational structure of FEMA. As a part of the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA has struggled to maintain its disaster response focus across all hazards. It needs more autonomy to coordinate effectively between different levels of government and relief organizations. The changing nature of risks also makes it difficult to prepare fully for every possible disaster scenario.
Post 1The whole community” approach as described in the Nat
Post 1
The “whole community” approach as described in the National Preparedness Goal refers to the shared responsibility amongst governmental, non-governmental, public and private sector entities, communities and individuals to work together in order to ensure national security and promote resilient communities (FEMA.gov, 2015, p. 1-2). Meaning that individuals must not simply rely on the federal, state or local governments to ensure thier safety and security, but individuals must take thier own safety seriously. Furthermore, the problem does not go away with more funding. Appropriate guidance, laws, education, training, and equipment all play significant roles in national preparedness.
The concept of “whole community” is important when viewing both short- and long-term effects that natural and man-made disasters can have on a population. Hurricane Katrina is a perfect example of the lack of a "whole community approach" resulting in improper risk analysis and poor emergency planning. The substandard response and recovery efforts at the federal, state and community-level contributed to almost every issue negatively impacting this incident. Ultimately, there was no precedent for a natural disaster of that magnitude and community leaders and residents found themselves unprepared. There was no distinct chain of command to delegate resources for recovery and rescue operations. Breakdowns in coordination from the federal level to the local level were apparent. “State and local authorities understood the devastation but, due to destruction of infrastructure and response capabilities, lacked the ability to communicate with each other and coordinate a response, struggled to perform responsibilities such as the rescue of citizens stranded by the rising floodwaters, provision of law enforcement, and evacuation of the remaining population of New Orleans (Townsend, 2006, ch. 5).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency leads the charge of the whole community approach to emergency management with the goal of facilitating a culture that shifts primary responsibility from the federal government managing disaster recovery to a community-centric approach. Creating crosstalk between emergency management stakeholders, decision makers, and communities, facilitates exchange of information and best practices that can be shared between communities that have the same hazards and threats. Additionally, community leaders are able to form a shared understanding of thier respective needs and capabilities, leverage resources, strengthen infrastructure, forge more effective prevention, protection, response and recovery while increasing preparedness and resiliency across the community and the nation (FEMA.gov, 2011, p. 3).
Fostering a culture of shared responsibility places responsibility of emergency management on governments thereby sharing that responsibility amongst non-governmental, public and private sector agencies, and individual persons with the community ...

Venice Family Clinic
Introduction
Venice Family Clinic (VFC) is well‐known for giving quality wellbeing services to populaces deprived through a powerful volunteer model. Established in 1970, it has a long history of volunteerism, which has been coordinated into the way of life of the association. There is great leadership involvement in the model just as an internal framework set up to enlist and support volunteer doctors, including clinic space, systems for scheduling patients, and a full‐time volunteer organizer. Additionally, VFC has longstanding relationships with private healthcare facilities in the region.
A department likely to exist within the organization
VFC has a unit that offers psychiatric health services that incorporates counseling, mental services, and psychosocial support identified with the social stress of poverty, homelessness, joblessness, and aggressive behavior at home. Services include emergency intercession just as an individual, family, and group treatment. Albeit, once in a while, challenges make it difficult to pick an ideal setting; it is significant as well, where conceivable, think about privacy. VFC thinks about confidentiality as one of the keys to excellent communication, as the client is probably going to reveal data of a private and sensitive nature (Carroll & Richardson, 2016).
The financial condition of the Clinic
Venice's family clinic financial report of 2012 current liabilities is 3,398, 342, while the total existing assets total up to 9,913,386. Therefore, 2.89 is the current ratio of the clinic. This ratio is somewhat high, which implies, the clinic is not using its financial capabilities resourcefully. The clinic, however, is in a position to meet its short-term financial obligation because it has good liquidity. Conversely, 0.21 is the debt to equity ratio, which means the facility can manage its daily operations without getting help from financiers. At the beginning of the year, net resources remain at 20,690,947, while toward the end of the year, the net resource was 18,876, 692, which suggests that the facility has a net loss of 1,841,255. This clearly shows the medical clinic will experience financial constraints in sustaining its operations. Therefore, the clinic needs to control its cost to avoid losing the money (Carroll & Richardson, 2016).
Healthcare trends likely to affect the Clinic
Today, health care systems are determined to provide a patient-centered treatment, which is a trend brought about due to technology proliferation. Most health centers are integrating technology in their operation, clinical aspects, as well as administrative. As healthcare transform to becoming more goals focused and systemic, they are coming up with approaches and techniques aimed to improve the patient’s experience. Analytics are also involved in helping hospitals foresee future trends and guide decision making.

This summary analyzes the vignette using a narrative therapy approach. It discusses how John and Mary may have internalized different cultural narratives from their upbringings that influence their parenting styles. John's view of tough discipline could stem from experiencing racism growing up and wanting to prepare his sons, while Mary's desire to protect her sons may relate to traditional gender roles in African American families. The therapist would need to be culturally sensitive and understand each person's perspective without stereotyping, while also considering their ethical and legal obligations.

Narrative Therapy
A narrative therapist would listen respectfully to John and Mary’s stories, and to understand the influence that these stories have had on their lives (Corey, 2013). “Because of the power of dominant culture narratives, individuals tend to internalize the messages from these dominant discourses, which often work against the life opportunity of the individual” (p. 410). Growing up in a culture where he may have experienced racism and prejudice, John may have internalized a story that children must toughen up to the world. “Within the family, African-American parents use a number of disciplinary actions that prepare children to live in a racist environment where unfairness and discrimination are common. In that vein, respect for authority is typically nonnegotiable in African-American families; children who are disrespectful receive the most severe forms of punishment-usually physical” (Evans, 2013, p.65). Thus, the heavy-handed discipline John experienced himself as a child may be an acceptable cultural narrative of his own parenting style with his sons today. John’s view of the school of hard knox may represent his narrative that his sons should attend school where they will learn to, cope with racism, which includes developing a tough skin. Mary may have internalized a story from her own childhood where traditional African-American mothers raise daughters to be empowered and independent but for their sons, independence is not stressed as strongly and punishment is not as severe, often enabling their male children (Evans, 2013). This could explain her desire to protect and her sons from harmful aspects of life and John’s harsh disciplinary measures. The therapist must be aware of stereotyping and learn how to recognize diversity issues and work with John and Mary in the context of their worldview. It is an ethical obligation for counselors to develop sensitivity to cultural differences (Corey, 2013). While John’s style of discipline may be culture-laden, the therapist must look at his or her own professional obligation according to the legal and ethical code of the state in which they work.
Listening with an Open Mind
Narrative therapists must listen to clients without judgment or blame, affirming and valuing them. This might be difficult for the therapist in the vignette since there is already a judgment on John through problematic narratives of the therapist’s own father. The therapist may have difficulty working with John without imposing their value systems and interpretations. The therapist must listen to this couple’s problem-saturated stories without getting stuck (Core.

Constantinescu, C. & Samuels, C. A. (2016, September 6). Studies flag potential downside to
inclusion. Education Week. Retrieved from www.edweek.org.
Constantinescu and Samuels review studies that suggest inclusion of special education
students with typical peers can be problematic, particularly for younger children. In fact, several
studies indicated that typical children in kindergarten and first grade who have special needs
peers in their classes are more likely to have behavior issues, problems with social skills, and
lower scores in reading and math (2016). The article describes the experience of one education
teacher who expressed concern that inclusion of special needs students in the classroom
negatively influences the behavior of other students by precipitating and increasing incidents of
verbal and/or physical conflict between the students (Constantinescu & Samuels, 2016).
Education Week has been publishing since 1981, and they cover different angles on an
array of education-related issues. The authors have published other articles in Education Week
and elsewhere. The topics are all about education, but not all are focused on inclusion or special
needs students, which helped me conclude that they do not have a biased agenda. Within the
article, they cite research studies to support their ideas, and this article was published in 2016,
making it recent.
This article could be seen as a challenge to my argument. Clearly, the described situation
is unacceptable, but inclusion is not the problem; it is a lack of strategies and support to teach all

HIV/AIDS is one of the many factors that are usually affecting the world. Research shows that a total number of 1.1 million people are living with HIV, and 75% of the population in amerce don’t know that they get infected with the virus (Burkholder & Nash, Special populations in health care, 2013). HIV/AIDS affects people from all genders, races, and ethnic age. Today the most significant population of people living with HIV/AIDS are more affected in terms of Medicare and Medicaid. Healthcare facility though they offer antiretroviral which helps prolong patients with HIV it’s not sufficient enough to a permanent solution.
HIV/AIDS is more severe among the young generation. The youth are more likely to get HIV/AIDS than the old due to so many activities to which they indulge. When it comes to age HIV/AIDs, the young are more like to survive longer if they engage early with the treatment procedure and healthier factor than the old. When the old generation gets infected with HIV/AIDS that creates a crisis in the next generation in terms of survival, those affected are more likely to lose jobs, education, and health care to discrimination and end up relying on aid. The reliance on welfare is more likely to happen among those with HIV/AIDS as well to help mitigate their health condition.
According to research, those populations with HIV/AIDS are more likely to spend most of their incomes on healthcare than other items. HIV/AIDS populations are more like not to get hired on a job due to health issues and risk poverty lines. When a country has a large population of people with HIV/AIDS the country is headed in crisis and is likely to lead under a financial crisis to healthcare management. Infrastructure development and other beneficial programs that might benefit the country are halted to stop epidemic rise of HIV/AIDS in the country. There are no special jobs designed for those with HIV/AIDS, thus forcing the broad population into poverty. To mitigate the income crisis the government and private parties should work together and find way to help create specific jobs and cheap healthcare programs.

The following research is of a marketing plan for Apple Inc.’s iPhone. An accurate report of numerous factors, which enlighten Apple Inc.’s iPhone, along with the demographics of customers who buy the product. Some of the crucial components created in this paper consist of client analysis, opportunities of Apple Inc., and their main threat, and awareness on the targeted market.
Understanding Target Markets
Client Analysis
It is distinct that the desire for innovation and technology motivates the customers to purchase Apple iPhones. Apple is a corporation that has put its emphasis on technology innovation; therefore, it has become a favorable choice of purchase from the consumers. A majority of Apple’s clientele are fascinated by the fact that the organization can uphold its position concerning their innovative values as well as their leadership. The market of the Apple iPhone comprises of the customers in the high-social class (Khan et al., 2015).
Regarding this state, the customer’s pay rate permits them to buy the merchandise. Another thing, which observed is that many of Apple’s clientele are young adults who spend cash on such items and relish on having extravagances like an iPhone. Similarly, Apple Inc. can control the fascination of its clienteles by steadily improving the technology associated with the iPhone.
Opportunities
the organization has the opportunity of increasing its market section and proliferating sales of the phones in the market if it only makes use of the following commendations:
1. with a focus on the Asian and African markets, the middle-class persons in Africa are vexing to shift their class and have a better status; hence, they are chasing high-end gadgets that will display their anticipated level (Khan et al., 2015).
2. The Asian market is growing to be important in Apple Inc.

Overview
The US Coast Guard is the main organization recognized by the state and tasked with the role of providing security, and navigation guidance in the marine areas of the US ports and waterways. The Coast Guard defends more than 100,000 miles along the coast of the US and inland water routes. It also protects the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which comprises 4.5m miles2, which covers from above the Arctic Circle to below the equator, which is from Puerto Rico to Guam (United States Coast Guard 2016). The area covered is comprised of nine time zones, and this makes it the biggest EEZ.
The Coast Guard is part of the defence forces in the US and the only military branch in the Department of Homeland Security. It is not only part of the defence forces tasked with protection, but it is also the first respondent in disasters. The Coasts Guards are the first to respond and offer humanitarian help during distress, especially during natural and human-made disasters onshore and in the sea. The Coast Guard is also a law enforcement agency and a member of the intelligence community that has the regulatory role as well. The Coast Guard has a legal mandate on issues that revolve around maritime transportation, the shipping in and out of hazardous material, oil spillage responses, administering bridges, piloting, and operation of vessels and the building of vessels (United States Coast Guard 2016). Although the Coast Guard is usually under Homeland Security, it can be moved temporarily to the Navy, especially during cases of war.
Roles and Missions of The US Coast Guard/ Strengths of US Coast Guard
The US Coast Guard has several strengths when it comes to its roles and missions. One of the strong points of the Coastal Guard is maintaining maritime safety. In maintaining maritime safety, the Coastal Guard works towards eliminating deaths, injuries, and property damage that may occur in the course of transport, fishing, recreation, and any other activities on the water. The Coastal Guard also conducts missions such as investigations, preventing disasters from happening, and responding when disasters happen. They make sure that all the people operating vessels in the sea are licensed. They also conduct ice patrol to ensure that vessels do not run into the areas that are frozen.
The other strength of the Coastal Guard is that they participate in national defence. The Coastal Guard supports the National Security Strategy. Often, they operate under Homeland Security, but in instances of war, they are shifted to operate under the Navy. In national defense, the Coastal Guard is supposed to conduct maritime military interceptions, respond to military distress calls, secure ports, engage in peacetime military engagements, and oversee the coastal sea control operations.
The other strong role played by the Coast.

Values and Norms Inside a Tattoo Parlor
An Observational Study
Cascadia Community College
Introduction:
I have chosen to research the values and norms of the subculture surrounding tattoos. While many cultures the world over have had a reverent and traditional relationship with tattooing and other body modifications for generations, western culture has only become more accepting of this form of artwork in the past couple of decades. I was interested in studying this subculture because of the still-evolving shift of opinions about body modification. As mainstream culture becomes increasingly accepting of tattoos, the spaces where they are obtained are, in turn, more popular. Just over a decade after the turn of the twenty-first century, about 40% of Americans between 26 and 40 years old are tattooed (Larsen, Markham, & Patterson 2014), and even television shows centered on tattoos have become successful. However, there is still a fair amount of misunderstanding between mainstream western culture and tattoo culture. At present, there are still individuals and groups, usually who are more conservative, that look down on tattoos, not only on the grounds of relation to criminal activity, but also that the very act of getting tattooed is unsanitary and dangerous. Even in more accepting spaces, people with several visible tattoos are exoticized and can be subjected to repetitive and invasive questions surrounding their body art. In observing a tattoo parlor, I hoped to answer the following questions: In what ways can the process of tattooing be considered dangerous, if any? In what ways do the norms and values of this subculture differ from those of the western mainstream?
Literature Review:
In their review, Larsen, Markham, and Patterson (2014) share various studies reflecting a historically negative public opinion – a “stigma of deviance” – surrounding tattoos in western culture, dating as far back as the ancient Greeks. Deviance, as defined by McIntyre, is “the flip side of conformity” (2014), and the sanctions placed to prevent it from infiltrating the mainstream can have serious consequences. Tattoos represented the “other” in terms of social status and were even given involuntarily as a means of visually differentiating the tattooed person from the rest of society. Later, voluntary tattoos in the west were sought out mainly by criminals, or by those in the military. Tattooed people were not only avoided socially but could also be barred from employment in many spaces. While the twentieth century saw tattoos gain traction as a means of carving out identity, or a form of postmodernist self-expression, they describe a “tattoo Renaissance” taking place in the relatively recent 1980s. At this time, there was a growing focus on the artistry and creativity of tattooing, rather than the denouncement of the “type” of person who would seek it. The stigm.

Narrative Therapy
A narrative therapist would listen respectfully to John and Mary’s stories, and to understand the influence that these stories have had on their lives (Corey, 2013). “Because of the power of dominant culture narratives, individuals tend to internalize the messages from these dominant discourses, which often work against the life opportunity of the individual” (p. 410). Growing up in a culture where he may have experienced racism and prejudice, John may have internalized a story that children must toughen up to the world. “Within the family, African-American parents use a number of disciplinary actions that prepare children to live in a racist environment where unfairness and discrimination are common. In that vein, respect for authority is typically nonnegotiable in African-American families; children who are disrespectful receive the most severe forms of punishment-usually physical” (Evans, 2013, p.65). Thus, the heavy-handed discipline John experienced himself as a child may be an acceptable cultural narrative of his own parenting style with his sons today. John’s view of the school of hard knox may represent his narrative that his sons should attend school where they will learn to, cope with racism, which includes developing a tough skin. Mary may have internalized a story from her own childhood where traditional African-American mothers raise daughters to be empowered and independent but for their sons, independence is not stressed as strongly and punishment is not as severe, often enabling their male children (Evans, 2013). This could explain her desire to protect and her sons from harmful aspects of life and John’s harsh disciplinary measures. The therapist must be aware of stereotyping and learn how to recognize diversity issues and work with John and Mary in the context of their worldview. It is an ethical obligation for counselors to develop sensitivity to cultural differences (Corey, 2013). While John’s style of discipline may be culture-laden, the therapist must look at his or her own professional obligation according to the legal and ethical code of the state in which they work.
Listening with an Open Mind
Narrative therapists must listen to clients without judgment or blame, affirming and valuing them. This might be difficult for the therapist in the vignette since there is already a judgment on John through problematic narratives of the therapist’s own father. The therapist may have difficulty working with John without imposing their value systems and interpretations. The therapist must listen to this couple’s problem-saturated stories without getting stuck (Core.

Li and Zhang (2014), investigate how technology can be used in a simulation that would aid in determining how effectively smart grid technology can be implemented. The successful implementation of smart grid technology requires the combination of several different frameworks that rely on information communication technology to aid in the regulation of power created and supplied. A simulation of possible communication networks that can be used is made in the study as a way of testing the viability of a smart grid system and its application in reality. The paper successfully identifies various simulation frameworks that can be used to successfully gauge how the system can be created. The findings show that information technology can play an integral role in creating simulations that can support policymaking.

Sarabando, Cravino, and Soares (2014) investigate the use of computer simulation to analyse how students learn key concepts of physics. Software is used to analyse common learning processes used in teaching physics. Students in the sample population were asked to carry out learning activities ordinarily on the traditional learning environment. The results were then compared to learning activities that were carried out using computer software. The findings showed that the use of computer simulation in learning improved the retention rate, while the language used by teachers also impacted the speed of learning. The findings of the study can be used in the formulation of learning policies, which shows that IT simulation can be successfully used in the formulation of public policy.

Abstract
This study was aimed at determining and comparing the potential of various weights of activated bentonite (BN). BN is an essential adsorbent used to remove copper sulfate in aqueous systems. This bentonite composes of 1M ammonium chloride i.e. NH3CL ratio; 1:1, w/w. The investigation of the adsorption ability of the naturally activated material (BN) to adsorb copper sulfate (CUSO4.5H2O) was investigated using UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Raw BN (unheated) has the adsorption ability and thus eliminates copper (II) ions from this aqueous solution. BN has approximately 62% efficiency of eliminating Cu2+ from copper sulfate. Various studies have determined that the removal efficiency of copper (II) ions increase with the rise in temperature of BN with temperatures not exceeding 200 C having about 69% efficiency. The percentage was seen to rise to close to 90% when BN was treated thermally. The optimal values of the removal rate of Cu2+ resulted when the BN dosage was 0.4g/100mL.
1.0 Introduction
The existence of heavy metals in most of the aquatic systems has raised significant concern owing to their high toxicity. The contamination of water with heavy metals results from daily human activities. It has been observed that lead concentration in areas inhabited by people is 20 times higher than in regions that are not influenced directly by the actions of people. As a result, various regulations and laws have been enacted to control effluence with these heavy metals. Thus, the Environmental Protection Agency, an institution set by the federal government to adjust and observe pollutants discharge in the environment, has set the allowable limits of massive metal emissions as copper 1.3 ppm, mercury two ppb, cadmium 5ppb, lead 15 ppb and chromium 100 ppb (EPA). Copper is one of the conventional metal as it is used in metal mechanic manufactories, industrial plant, and also in food production. Although many laws have set limits of allowable copper emissions, excess of its compounds are prevalent in water bodies. Therefore, it has become necessary to find ways of safely removing copper from aqueous solutions.
This study is aimed at investigating the efficiency of an adsorbent material BN in adsorption of CuSO4 from aqueous solutions. The investigation was conducted using the usages rates of BN, the influence of BN dose, and results from other batch adsorption studies.2.0 Literature Review
In the last few decades, contamination of water resources with ions from heavy metals has increased, becoming a global concern. Studies have shown that some metals are toxic to the ecological environment and human lives. Copper sulfate is a compound of copper and sulfur which forms a heavy metal precipitate in water bodies. However, copper in controlled amounts is essential in life forms due to its extensive role in the ge.

Introduction
This course is designed for the department of engineering. In this engineering course, I will teach the learners about water resource engineering. They will learn Integrated Water Resources Development (IWRD) and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a general framework for Water Resources Engineering. The students will mention water challenges experienced in their locality. This will be done in groups of five students with the aim of stating challenges of water and how to solve them. At the end of each lesson the teacher will lead in demonstration of various water resources and how water from the sources can be harnessed. The following will be the student learning goals; Learners will be able to understand elements integrated water resources management. Learners will be able to know erosion and deposition in rivers, Learners will be able to learn laws governing water in their country and internationally, Learners will be able to know erosion and deposition in rivers, Learners will be able to sit in groups and discuss different water sources.
Since this is an engineering lesson, it will be necessary to conduct a practical experience. Learners play an active role and engage more during practical exercises than in theoretical practices. During practical exercises, students get a chance to utilize what they learnt in class and build confidence while at it to deal with real world situations. Allowing students to have discussions in groups’ plays a great role in learning experience by enhancing democratic learning, complements reflective learning and accommodates individual difference. Therefore, I aim to mix the low-ability learners with the high ability learners and help in leading discussions to ensure achievement of learning goals by the end of the course.
Learning goals
Learning goals state what the teacher intends the students to achieve as a result of a successful completion of the teaching experience. It could be at the end of a program, a course or learning experience. A course learning goal explains what the students will be capable to perform at the end of a course while program goal is what the student is capable of achieving at the end of their degree or diploma certificate. A well state learning goals should state the outcomes (Marzano, 2010). This is basically what the student will be in a position to do after they successfully complete the course. They should be simple and clear such that everyone comprehends them. They should focu.

One of the most interesting aspects of persuasion is that it can apply to so many different
areas in life, from the personal to the professional to the academic. A few months ago, I had an
opportunity to use persuasive writing on Facebook to help my cousin reach an important
decision. She had posted about wanting to adopt a cat but mentioned that she didn’t like having
to fill out the lengthy application that her local shelter required. She posted a little rant about this
and ended it with, “Maybe I should just buy a kitty at the pet store. It’d be a lot less
complicated!” As someone who has several rescue animals, I have strong feelings about this
subject, and I wanted to address this in a message to her. I told her about my experience adopting
my pets and how rewarding it was to know that these surrendered animals had found a loving
home with me. I even did a little research and shared some statistics I found: Over three million
unwanted cats are brought to shelters each year, and a significant percentage of them end up
getting euthanized (ASPCA, 2018). Since my cousin is a very down-to-earth person, I wrote
about all this in a way that I knew would speak to her: factually and straightforward, with a little
humor thrown in (I included some funny stories about Tippy, my newest rescue). She ended up
thanking me profusely for the message, and not two weeks later she was back on Facebook
again, posting pictures of the beautiful domestic shorthair cat she adopted from the shelter.
Another equally important area of persuasive communication is that which occurs in a
professional context. As a future psychologist, I will likely be responsible for proposing
treatment plans and collaborating on treatment plans in a team setting as well. For the time being,
I am working in a call center, and I recently had a firsthand experience with persuasive
workplace communication. My coworkers and I had been talking among ourselves about how
nice it would be to have “Casual Fridays” where we could have the option of wearing jeans to

I. Overview of Uber
Uber is a ride sharing company that was launched in San Francisco in 2010 when UberCab connected its first rider with a town car for a ride across the city (Uber.com). The company was designed to allow consumers to hail a ride from local drivers with the simple push of a button (using an app), and has since disrupted the taxi cab industry. The inception of Uber brought new technology and ideas into a transportation sector historically lacking in innovation and customer service. The company’s founders saw an opportunity to use technologies such as smartphones, GPS and Google Maps to improve transportation and the result has been a more convenient, faster and cheaper service.
Uber is headquartered in San Francisco, California and operates by charging consumers for rides. This is primarily how the company generates revenue (although they do participate in some advertising on their website). The Uber app facilitates the location of a driver and the transfer of funds. The fare is then charged to the consumer’s credit card (Investopedia.com, 2018). Uber quickly raised money and launched operations in hundreds of cities; it is now in over 65 countries and cities worldwide. Last year, Uber announced it had completed 4 billion trips (15 million trips are completed each day) (Uber.com).
Since 2010, Uber’s service offerings have become quite expansive. Although they initially offered only full service luxury vehicles, now when hailing a ride consumers have choices such as Uber Pool, Uber X, Uber XL and Uber Black. These choices were non-existent previously with taxi cab companies. More recently, Uber has entered other markets such as the food delivery business. They now offer services such as UberEATs which delivers food from local restaurants (Ubereats.com, 2018).
To understand Uber’s main competitors and market structure, it is important to understand some of the history behind taxi companies, especially in major cities. Taxi cab drivers had a monopoly prior to Uber entering in many cities such as New York. In 1937, New York City passed the Haas Act which established a licensing system to influence supply. The system required taxi drivers to purchase a medallion in order to operate. The government sells limited numbers of medallions which allows them to control competition and entry into the market. This is at the expense of consumers since it restricts supply and keeps costs high. Despite a growing population, the number of available medallions has remained partially fixed, only increasing marginally. Taxi drivers with a medallion enjoy high profits and have fewer incentives to ensure satisfaction. Today, the number of medallions in New York City remains capped, maintaining a barrier to entry.
After Uber launched in New York City, the prices of medallions dropped significantly; this has be.

Attitude refers to the tendency of positively or negatively responding to a particular situation, idea, person, or object. An individual's attitude affects the choices they make, as well as how they respond to rewards, incentives, and challenges. Abortion, on the other hand, refers to the termination of a pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus before its survival in the environment outside the uterus. When an abortion happens without intervention is known as a miscarriage. Induced abortion is what happens when there are intentional steps and procedures put in place to end a pregnancy. There are different attitudes toward abortion among various groups of people (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2010).
A significant percentage of women have a positive attitude towards abortion and support it if the pregnancy was unplanned. Women desire to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Some women also argue that abortion should be legalized while another portion is against the idea of legalizing it. Most of those who support its legalization have practiced or have helped others abort. Most people who believe in God do not support abortion because they think only God has permission to terminate one's life. They view abortion breaking the commandment, which states that thou shall not kill. Many religious leaders are also not in support of abortion since it is a way of murdering an innocent soul (Doran & Nancarrow, 2015). In most countries, abortion under the law is illegal except when the life of the mother is in danger, and the only way of saving the life of that mother would be by terminating the pregnancy.
Attitude affects the daily decision in my life as well of those around me. For example, my negative attitude towards a certain meal makes me avoid making it when it's my turn to prepare food at home. This causes chaos at home since my not liking the meal does not necessarily mean that the other members of the family do not like it. Also, sometimes, a day doesn't always go the way I wanted. This makes my moods and reactions for the rest of the day change, which profoundly affects those around me. This is due to most of the choices I make will be negative based on how the day has been.
My research about abortion has affected my view of the abortion issue. I have learned that it is not always that abortion is deliberate since sometimes miscarriage can occur without the consent of the pregnant woman. Sometimes it is understandable for the abortion to be affected, especially if the life of the mother is in danger. For example, if the child has died while still in the womb, the only way to save the mother's life would be by inducing them so that the child is removed.
Choosing the topic of abortion might lead to cropping up of different issues such as debates on whether abortion should be accepted or not as well as counseling issues. Counseling on pregnancy mig.

Introduction
A healthcare system is an organization of funds, individuals, and institutions which provide healthcare to satisfy the health requirements of a society. Globally, healthcare systems vary depending on the specific healthcare needs of particular states. Nevertheless, the common aspects of public and private care are often similar (Drummond, Sculpher, Claxton, Stoddart & Torrance, 2015). Over the years, we have witnessed the systems evolving, and with this constant change, it is vital to analyze operational challenges, trends, and issues for the U.S. healthcare executives. In this paper, the main areas that will be discussed are operational challenges, trends, and problems experienced in the United States health care executives.
Challenges experienced in the healthcare workplace
Various problems have been experienced in the healthcare workplace relating to healthcare provision in the United States. Financial difficulties are one of the main challenges being experienced in the healthcare workplace in the United States. The vital financial problems arise due to lack of enough finances for implementation of new technologies to improve healthcare delivery process (Mayes, 2017). Most healthcare facilities lack adequate funds to implement advanced technologies that can be used to increase the quality of healthcare delivery. As a result, this has reduced healthcare quality improvement plans in the United States. Therefore, there is a need for federal governments to meek proper arrangements to fund all healthcare activities to improve services delivery in the health sector.
Besides, healthcare professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records is another challenge that has been experienced in the United States healthcare workplace. For the past year, some healthcare professionals have failed to comply with federal government guidelines regarding health care delivery (Mayes, 2017). Furthermore, the increasing number of patients who cannot pay for health care services is a significant challenge that has been experienced in the United States healthcare delivery systems. These finance challenges adversely affect healthcare delivery system in the United States.
Work overload is another major challenge that has been experienced in the United States health sectors (Mayes, 2017). Observations for past years reveal that work overload at the workplace affects the performance of health care professionals in the United States. Most healthcare professionals are assigned many responsibilities at workplaces, which reduces their efficiency.
Another cause of the rising cost of healthcare is the introduction of government programs. For example, Medicare assists those without insurance, which led to an incre.

Cathedral
By Raymond Carver (1981)
This blind man, an old friend of my wife’s, he was on his way to
spend the night. His wife had died. So he was visiting the dead wife’s
relatives in Connecticut. He called my wife from his in-law’s. Arrangements
were made. He would come by train, a five-hour trip, and my wife would
meet him at the station. She hadn’t seen him since she worked for him one
summer in Seattle ten years ago. But she and the blind man had kept in
touch. They made tapes and mailed them back and forth. I wasn’t
enthusiastic about his visit. He was no one I knew. And his being blind
bothered me. My idea of blindness came from the movies. In the movies, the
blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-
eye dogs. A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to.
That summer in Seattle she had needed a job. She didn’t have any
money. The man she was going to marry at the end of the summer was in
officers’ training school. He didn’t have any money, either. But she was in
love with the guy, and he was in love with her, etc. She’d seen something in
the paper: HELP WANTED—Reading to Blind Man, and a telephone
number. She phoned and went over, was hired on the spot. She worked with
this blind man all summer. She read stuff to him, case studies, reports, that
sort of thing..

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Emergency recovery means to engage in efforts to return disaster-imp.docx
- 1. 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 a brief explanation of the utility of the Stafford Act and the presidential declaration process related to local disaster response. Explain whether you think either or both are useful in the scheme of responding to local disasters. Defend your position. Then explain whether federal emergency recovery programs in general are over-used by the states and whether you think they are adequate in providing for recovery from catastrophic events and justify your position. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Readings
