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

Introduction
In this unit we will consider and compare the value and importance of two forms of support mechanisms affecting most all public fire service agencies: external and internal. External support comes from a wide range of agencies and organizations, both public and private, whereas internal support comes from within the department itself. Both sources of support functionality are an integral part of an effective and efficient modern fire department.
Chapter 5: Public and Private Support Organizations
National organizations and agencies: Support organizations and agencies can be found at many different levels: international, national, state, and local. Many private organizations are non-profit or not-for-profit agencies having tax exemption protection under the Federal Tax Code known as 501(c)(3). Non-profit organizations are allowed to solicit contributions and donations without paying taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) providing that such organization meets the criteria of the law. More on 501(c)(3) can be found in IRS Publication 557 in the Supplemental Reading section of the Unit IV Study Guide.
Not all private support organizations are tax exempt. However, typically their mission statement is to provide “free” services to those in need. Non-profit agencies rely heavily on contributions from the public-at-large in order to maintain a level of service within their geographical region or area of coverage. Conversely, publicly funded support agencies receive their operating budgets from tax dollars which come from local, state, and/or federal sources.
Your textbook lists approximately 49 national and international support agencies, 26 federal organizations, 15 state organizations, and 13 local agencies. The actual numbers are likely to vary from region to region, though the purpose is generally the same of all agencies. These organizations provide various forms of

CRJ Module 6 Overview
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. In this module, you will learn the role that the federal government plays in disaster recovery operations. You will list and explain the recovery programs that are administered by FEMA to fuel individual and community recovery operations. This module will also explain how federal agencies other than FEMA contribute to disaster recovery. The recovery role of national voluntary relief organizations will be discussed. The various tools that are available for community recovery planning will be identified.

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).

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 ...
The terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2001 was a ca.docx
The terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2001 was a catalyst for significant changes in emergency management nationwide. This tragic event spurred conversations and vigilant efforts at the local, state, and national levels on being prepared in the face of an emergency. Consequently, through new technology, heightened training, and increased interagency collaborations, the nation is, arguably, more prepared for a disaster than it ever has been before.
Select a health department and respond to the following questions regarding advancement in emergency preparedness:
How has emergency preparedness changed since the September 11, 2001 attacks?
How do you think the roles and responsibilities of local health departments in emergency preparedness should relate to national efforts?
Describe the emergency preparedness efforts of your local health department or a health department of your choice. Support your responses using information from the department's website or other published materials.
Data is critical in all the phases of emergency planning and response. They can be used to assess vulnerabilities in the case of an emergency, make informed decisions during an emergency, and evaluate the success or effectiveness of a response post an emergency.
Respond to the following discussion points in relation to use of data in emergency planning:
Identify sources of data used to plan and prepare for emergencies.
Explain how these sources of data are used by professionals as part of the emergency planning process.
sources must be cited within your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

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

This weeks problem is a little tricky. You are asked to evaluate a .docx
This week's problem is a little tricky. You are asked to evaluate a list of terms. You need the context to make sense of this. You need to apply this to
an interagency task force
, that is, your agency and others which are not your agency. Harking back to my disaster management proposition last week, you see a common goal (solving a problem that all have an interest in solving, but at different levels of service. So my "interagency" for a flood is (a) Police; (b) Fire; (c) local government; (d) governor's office; (e) food, shelter, clothing providers; (f) highway department; others.
For example, “The President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) is a cabinet-level entity created by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, which consists of some 15 agencies across the federal government responsible for coordinating U.S. government-wide efforts to combat trafficking in persons” (
https://www.state.gov/j/tip/response/usg
). If you visit this U. S. State Department web site, you will find a list of federal agencies that contribute to this task force. They would generate unifying policies to inform members of appropriate action, and to reduce duplication of efforts.
Now I have a list of terms. Which apply and why could they incur conflict or disagreement between participating agencies?
Examine and analyze the following checklist developed by an interagency task force for choosing an organizational structure. From this list, select the criteria that you find to be the best in terms of their relevance and the way they are able to keep administrative agencies accountable to the public for results and transparency.
Evaluate and explain which ones you think are most often in conflict with each other.
Public acceptance

Highlights of GAO-09-437T, a testimony
before the Subcommittee on Emergency
Communications, Preparedness, and
Response, Committee on Homeland
Security, House of Representatives
Recovery from major disasters is a
complex undertaking that involves
the combined efforts of federal,
state, and local government in
order to succeed. While the federal
government provides a significant
amount of financial and technical
assistance for recovery, state and
local jurisdictions work closely
with federal agencies to secure and
make use of those resources. This
testimony describes lessons and
insights that GAO has identified
from review of past disasters,
which may be useful to inform
recovery efforts in the wake of
Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, as well
as disasters yet to come.
These lessons come from two
reports GAO recently released last
fall on disaster recovery. The first
draws on the experiences of
communities that have recovered
from previous major disasters in
order to help inform recovery
efforts in the wake of Hurricanes
Ike and Gustav as well as the 2008
Midwest floods. The second
examines the implementation of
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s (FEMA)
Public Assistance grant program
and identifies several actions that
the Department of Homeland
Security can take to improve
operations of that program. These
include improving information
sharing and enhancing continuity
and communication. Commenting
on a draft of that report, the
department generally agreed with
our recommendations. In doing this
work, GAO interviewed federal,

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.

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.Assessment 4 Study GuideCiting Shafritz, J. M., Russell, .docx

Reading Assignment Chapter 13: Public Financial Management
Unit Lesson
Budgeting is an important area within public institutions. This allows the jurisdiction to reference these important documents when there are questions regarding expenditures, line item purchases, and overall capital budgets. Capital budgets normally are written and established in the year prior to the implementation, for example, budgets for 2013 would be asked for during 2012. These budgets can be used for formulating how much of a surplus will be made available for contractors that may be working for the institution, security measures such as cameras that may be needed for security at a public venue, and being able to budget for supplies that are required for everyday functioning capacity within the organization. Budget formatting can be intriguing for most public entities and the professionals working within those organizations.
The size of technological spreadsheets that cite policies and create a timeline for the expenditures being used have a section specially designated for program objectives, and have a section that normally is set aside to delineate the government’s total service effort. The flow of management funds is the backbone of any institution, government entity, or public service venue. Without the flow of monetary compensation and grant money distribution, there will be limited capabilities for the designated organization to perform the work necessary to manage the business. As with many changes over the past several decades, monetary systems and funds being made available are beginning to diminish from the Federal government. The monies that are received, for example, by a fire department can be used to purchase apparatus, new firefighting clothing and protective equipment, and other provisions to support the public organization.
While looking at the budget from the federal, state, local, or community governments, consideration must be given to whether the monies being used and given to local entities are going to be used for economic growth. There will be disagreements concerning the appropriation of funds and fund management for the communities, but also for the main distributor-the federal government. The budget is the key focal point for public administration to function and make decisions. Monies that are received by public entities create a huge sense of power for those who shape the methods of how the monies are going to be spent. The upper management or executives must learn the conceptual framework that is used for budgeting, financing, and the allocation of those funds that have been received. Thus an accountant will be necessary for any good executive team within the organization. There are several different types of budgets that can be issued for an organization:.

Terrorism and the Future of Emergency Management
The September 11th (9/11) and the October 2001 Anthrax attacks together prompted dramatic changes in U.S. emergency management and have been the impetus for a reexamination of the nation’s emergency management system, its priorities, funding and practices. These changes are ongoing and will continue for the foreseeable future. In this module, you will learn how the government's hazard focus has been affected by the changing risk of terrorism. The events of September 11, 2001, the consequences of those events, and how the government responded will be discussed. You will also learn about the Department of Homeland Security along with its components and its role in emergency management.
In addition, you will investigate how the U.S. government communicates terrorist threat information to the public. You will outline how Hurricane Katrina affected terrorism preparedness and response. Lastly, the possibilities the future holds for emergency management and how the profession may be improved in the near future will be discussed and analyzed.

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).

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 ...
The terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2001 was a ca.docx
The terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2001 was a catalyst for significant changes in emergency management nationwide. This tragic event spurred conversations and vigilant efforts at the local, state, and national levels on being prepared in the face of an emergency. Consequently, through new technology, heightened training, and increased interagency collaborations, the nation is, arguably, more prepared for a disaster than it ever has been before.
Select a health department and respond to the following questions regarding advancement in emergency preparedness:
How has emergency preparedness changed since the September 11, 2001 attacks?
How do you think the roles and responsibilities of local health departments in emergency preparedness should relate to national efforts?
Describe the emergency preparedness efforts of your local health department or a health department of your choice. Support your responses using information from the department's website or other published materials.
Data is critical in all the phases of emergency planning and response. They can be used to assess vulnerabilities in the case of an emergency, make informed decisions during an emergency, and evaluate the success or effectiveness of a response post an emergency.
Respond to the following discussion points in relation to use of data in emergency planning:
Identify sources of data used to plan and prepare for emergencies.
Explain how these sources of data are used by professionals as part of the emergency planning process.
sources must be cited within your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

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

an interagency task force
, that is, your agency and others which are not your agency. Harking back to my disaster management proposition last week, you see a common goal (solving a problem that all have an interest in solving, but at different levels of service. So my "interagency" for a flood is (a) Police; (b) Fire; (c) local government; (d) governor's office; (e) food, shelter, clothing providers; (f) highway department; others.
For example, “The President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) is a cabinet-level entity created by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, which consists of some 15 agencies across the federal government responsible for coordinating U.S. government-wide efforts to combat trafficking in persons” (
https://www.state.gov/j/tip/response/usg
). If you visit this U. S. State Department web site, you will find a list of federal agencies that contribute to this task force. They would generate unifying policies to inform members of appropriate action, and to reduce duplication of efforts.
Now I have a list of terms. Which apply and why could they incur conflict or disagreement between participating agencies?
Examine and analyze the following checklist developed by an interagency task force for choosing an organizational structure. From this list, select the criteria that you find to be the best in terms of their relevance and the way they are able to keep administrative agencies accountable to the public for results and transparency.
Evaluate and explain which ones you think are most often in conflict with each other.
Public acceptance
Adaptability
Professional competence
Participation, representativeness, and diversity
Effective databases
Cost and timeliness
Promotion of private efficiency
Accountability to the president
Accountability to Congress
Compatibility with state regulation

DISASTER RECOVERY
Past Experiences Offer Recovery Lessons for
Hurricanes Ike and Gustav and Future Disasters
Highlights of GAO-09-437T, a testimony
before the Subcommittee on Emergency
Communications, Preparedness, and
Response, Committee on Homeland
Security, House of Representatives
Recovery from major disasters is a
complex undertaking that involves
the combined efforts of federal,
state, and local government in
order to succeed. While the federal
government provides a significant
amount of financial and technical
assistance for recovery, state and
local jurisdictions work closely
with federal agencies to secure and
make use of those resources. This
testimony describes lessons and
insights that GAO has identified
from review of past disasters,
which may be useful to inform
recovery efforts in the wake of
Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, as well
as disasters yet to come.
These lessons come from two
reports GAO recently released last
fall on disaster recovery. The first
draws on the experiences of
communities that have recovered
from previous major disasters in
order to help inform recovery
efforts in the wake of Hurricanes
Ike and Gustav as well as the 2008
Midwest floods. The second
examines the implementation of
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s (FEMA)
Public Assistance grant program
and identifies several actions that
the Department of Homeland
Security can take to improve
operations of that program. These
include improving information
sharing and enhancing continuity
and communication. Commenting
on a draft of that report, the
department generally agreed with
our recommendations. In doing this
work, GAO interviewed federal,
state, and local officials involved in
recovery and reviewed relevant
documents, data ...
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.

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.Assessment 4 Study GuideCiting Shafritz, J. M., Russell, .docx

Reading Assignment Chapter 13: Public Financial Management
Unit Lesson
Budgeting is an important area within public institutions. This allows the jurisdiction to reference these important documents when there are questions regarding expenditures, line item purchases, and overall capital budgets. Capital budgets normally are written and established in the year prior to the implementation, for example, budgets for 2013 would be asked for during 2012. These budgets can be used for formulating how much of a surplus will be made available for contractors that may be working for the institution, security measures such as cameras that may be needed for security at a public venue, and being able to budget for supplies that are required for everyday functioning capacity within the organization. Budget formatting can be intriguing for most public entities and the professionals working within those organizations.
The size of technological spreadsheets that cite policies and create a timeline for the expenditures being used have a section specially designated for program objectives, and have a section that normally is set aside to delineate the government’s total service effort. The flow of management funds is the backbone of any institution, government entity, or public service venue. Without the flow of monetary compensation and grant money distribution, there will be limited capabilities for the designated organization to perform the work necessary to manage the business. As with many changes over the past several decades, monetary systems and funds being made available are beginning to diminish from the Federal government. The monies that are received, for example, by a fire department can be used to purchase apparatus, new firefighting clothing and protective equipment, and other provisions to support the public organization.
While looking at the budget from the federal, state, local, or community governments, consideration must be given to whether the monies being used and given to local entities are going to be used for economic growth. There will be disagreements concerning the appropriation of funds and fund management for the communities, but also for the main distributor-the federal government. The budget is the key focal point for public administration to function and make decisions. Monies that are received by public entities create a huge sense of power for those who shape the methods of how the monies are going to be spent. The upper management or executives must learn the conceptual framework that is used for budgeting, financing, and the allocation of those funds that have been received. Thus an accountant will be necessary for any good executive team within the organization. There are several different types of budgets that can be issued for an organization:.

20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical AttentionV-c.docx
20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
V-codes and z-codes
V-codes and Z-codes are conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not considered mental disorders. They correspond to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-9-CM (V-codes) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM (Z-codes that become effective in 2015. In most instances, third-party payers do not cover charges for delivering services to an individual if the diagnosis is solely a V- or Z-code alone. If the V- or Z-code is not the primary diagnosis then it should be documented following the primary diagnosis. In addition, when writing the psychosocial assessment any psychosocial and cultural factors that might impact the client's diagnosis should be documented. The psychosocial stressors reflected in these diagnoses are widespread across all classes and cultures and have been shown to impact all aspects of an individual's life from the physical and psychological to the financial. Furthermore, these conditions have been shown to significantly impact the diagnosis and outcome for a multitude of mental and medical disorders. V- and Z-codes are grouped into numerous categories including: relational problems, problems related to abuse/neglect, educational and occupational problems, housing and economic problems, problems related to the social environment, problems related to the legal system, other counseling services, other psychosocial, personal and environmental problems, and problems of personal history (APA, 2013).
Broadly speaking, the category “Relational Problems” describes interactional problems between family members (e.g., parent/caregiver-child) or partners that result in significant impairment of family functioning or development of symptoms in the distressed individual, spouses, siblings, or other family members. Relational problems are broken down into two categories, Problems Related to Family Upbringing and Other Problems Related to Primary Support Group. For example, in the first category a Parent-Child Relational Problem involves interactional problems between one or both parents and a child that lead to dysfunction in behavioral (e.g., inadequate protection, overprotection), cognitive (e.g., antagonism toward or blaming of the other) or affective (e.g., feeling sad and angry) realms. Here, the critical factor is the quality of the parent-child relationship or when the dysfunction in this relationship is impacting the course and outcome of a psychological or medical condition. Other examples include Sibling Relational Problem, Upbringing Away from Parents, and Child Affected by Parental Relationship Distress. Similarly, family relationships and interactional patterns leading to problems related to primary support group include Partner Relational Problem, Disruption of Family by Separation/Divorce, High Expressed Emotion Level with.

Predictive Analysis at Insta-Buy:
The predictive analytics is termed as what is likely to happen in the future. The predictive analytics is based on statistical and data mining technique. The aim of this technique is to predict the future of the project such as what would be the customer reaction on project, financial need, etc. In developing predictive analytical application, a number of techniques are used such as classification algorithms. The classification techniques are logistic regression, decision tree models and neural network. Clustering algorithms are used to segment customers in different groups which helps to target specific promotions to them. To estimate the relationship between different purchasing behavior, association mining technique is used (Mehra, 2014). As an example, for any product on Amazon.com results in the retailer also suggesting similar products that a customer might be interested in. Predictive analytics can be used in E-commerce to solve the following problems
1. Improve customer engagement and increase revenue
1. Launch promotions that target specific customer group
1. Optimizing prices to generate maximum profits
1. Keep proper inventory and reduce over stalking
1. Minimizing fraud happenings and protecting privacy

22-6 | Reporting the Plight of Depression Families
MARTHA GELLHORN, Field Report to Harry Hopkins (1934)
1. From Martha Gellhorn to Harry Hopkins, Report, Gaston County, North Carolina, November 11, 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Harry Hopkins Papers, Box 66. Online transcript available at http://newdeal.feri.org/hopkins/hop08.htm.
Journalist and novelist Martha Gellhorn’s heartrending field report describing impoverished Gastonia, North Carolina, families vividly captures the desperate hope of depression-era families. Hired by Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s point man for federal relief efforts, Gellhorn detailed the enormous challenge facing the administration. Compounding the epic humanitarian crisis she encountered was the political opposition, which she singled out as one among many obstacles hampering relief efforts.
All during this trip [to North Carolina] I have been thinking to myself about that curious phrase “red menace,” and wondering where said menace hid itself. Every house I visited — mill worker or unemployed — had a picture of the President. These ranged from newspaper clippings (in destitute homes) to large colored prints, framed in gilt cardboard. The portrait holds the place of honour over the mantel. . . . He is at once God and their intimate friend; he knows them all by name, knows their little town and mill, their little lives and problems. And, though everything else fails, he is there, and will not let them down.
I have been seeing people who, according to almost any standard, have practically nothing in life and practically nothing to look forward to or hope for. But there is hope; confidence, something intangible and real: “the president isn’t going to forget us.”
Let me cite cases: I went to see a woman with five children who was living on relief ($3.40 a week). Her picture of the President was a small one, and she told me her oldest daughter had been married some months ago and had cried for the big, coloured picture as a wedding present. The children have no shoes and that woman is terrified of the coming cold as if it were a definite physical entity. There is practically no furniture left in the home, and you can imagine what and how they eat. But she said, suddenly brightening, “I’d give my heart to see the President. I know he means to do everything he can for us; but they make it hard for him; they won’t let him.” I note this case as something special; because here the faith was coupled with a feeling (entirely sympathetic) that the President was not entirely omnipotent.
I have been seeing mill workers; and in every mill when possible, the local Union president. There has been widespread discrimination in the south; and many mills haven’t re-opened since the strike. Those open often run on such curtailment that workers are getting from 2 to 3 days work a week. The price of food has risen (especially the kind of food they eat: fat-back bacon, flour, meal, sorghum) as high as 100%. It is getting cold;.

Controlled Burn
The Gendering of Stress and Burnout in
Modern Policing
Don L. Kurtz
Kansas State University
Despite the interest in the interplay between subcultural attitudes, organizational
structure, and high stress events, most research on police stress fails to address a
fundamental concern—that of gender. In fact, the majority of research addressing officer
stress fails to mention gender or concentrates on gender as a simple control variable. Data
from the Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland,
1997-1999 study were analyzed to examine how gender affects stress and burnout in law
enforcement. Findings indicate that stress and burnout by officers is embedded in the
gender structure and process of policing and not simply a response to high stress events.
Keywords: policing; stress; burnout; masculinity; gender and policing; social construc-
tion of gender; gendered organization theory
Asignificant body of research contends that policing is one of the most stressfulprofessions in American society (Anderson, Litzenberger, & Plecas, 2002;
Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Howard, Howard Donofrio, & Boles, 2004; Liberman
et al., 2002; Lott, 1995). Officer stress is associated with a number of negative
behaviors and psychological outcomes, including high rates of substance abuse,
divorce, suicide, and violence (Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Lott, 1995; Violanti,
1996). Attempts to deal with officer stress and burnout generally focus on psycho-
logical, physical, or psychiatric responses to critical incidents or high stress work
environments (Anderson et al., 2002; Brooks & Piquero, 1998; Liberman et al.,
2002; Loo, 2004; Mashburn, 1993; Purpura, 2001). Some scholars identify a sub-
culture of policing through which selected behaviors and attitudes influence officers’
reactions to organizational and job related stress (Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Purpura,
2001). Despite interest in the interplay among subcultural attitudes, organizational

Abstract - The Vietnamese government have plan to develop the
wind farms with the expected capacity of 6 GW by 2030. With the
high penetration of wind power into power system, wind power
forecasting is essentially needed for a power generation
balancing in power system operation and electricity market.
However, such a tool is currently not available in Vietnamese
wind farms as well as electricity market. Therefore, a short-term
wind power forecasting tool for 24 hours has been created to fill
in this gap, using artificial neural network technique. The neural
network has been trained with past data recorded from 2015 to
2017 at Tuy Phong wind farm in Binh Thuan province of Viet
Nam. It has been tested for wind power prediction with the input
data from hourly weather forecast for the same wind farm. The
tool can be used for short-term wind power forecasting in
Vietnamese power system in a foreseeable future.
Keywords: power system; wind farm; wind power forecasting;
neural network; electricity market.
I. NECESITY OF WIND POWER FORECASTING
Today, the integration of wind power into the existing
grid is a big issue in power system operation. For the system
operators, power generation curve of wind turbines is a
necessary information in the power sources balancing. From
the dispatchers’ point of view, wind power forecast errors
will impact the system net imbalances when the share of
wind power increases, and more accurate forecasts mean less
regulating capacity will be activated from the real time
electricity market [1]. In the deregulated market, day-ahead
electricity spot prices are also affected by day-ahead wind
power forecasting [2]. Wind power forecasting is also
essential in reducing the power curtailment, supporting the
ancillary service. However, due to uncertainty of wind speed
and weather factors, the wind power is not easy to predict.
In recent years, many wind power forecasting methods
have been proposed. In [3], a review of different approaches
for short-term wind power forecasting has been introduced,
including statistical and physical methods with different
models such as WPMS, WPPT, Prediktor, Zephyr, WPFS,
ANEMOS, ARMINES, Ewind, Sipreolico. In [4], [5], the
methods, models of wind power forecasting and its impact on

Abstract — Personal Data Protection has been among the most
discussed topics lately and a reason for great concern among
organizations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation
in 20 years. The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in
which data is handled across every sector. The organizations had
two years to implement it. As referred by many authors, the
implementation of the regulation has not been an easy task for
companies. The question we aim to answer in this study is how far
the implementation of ISO 27001 standards might represent a
facilitating factor to organizations for an easier compliance with
the regulation. In order to answer this question, several websites
(mostly of consulting companies) were analyzed, and the aspects
considered as facilitating are listed in this paper.
Keywords - regulation (EU) 2016/679; general data protection
regulation; ISO/IEC 27001.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, data protection has become a forefront issue
in cyber security. The issues introduced by recurring
organizational data breaches, social media and the Internet of
Things (IoT) have raised the stakes even further [1, 2]. The EU
GDPR, enforced from May 25 2018, is an attempt to address
such data protection. The GDPR makes for stronger, unified data
protection throughout the EU.
The EU GDPR states that organizations must adopt
appropriate policies, procedures and processes to protect the
personal data they hold.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 series
is a set of information security standards that provide best-
practice recommendations for information security management
[3].
This international standard for information security, ISO
27001, provides an excellent starting point for achieving the

Trouble at 3Forks
Introduction: The foreclosure process can differ for deeds
versus mortgages. You will conduct research to determine
these differences since it is not only covered in the real estate
exam, but it is important to know this process in professional
practice.
Scenario: Henri and Lila own a restaurant which the
government has caused to close due to widening the road in
front of their establishment. Since this is the main source of
their income, and has caused Lila and Henri to stop payments
on their mortgage, address the following questions.
Checklist:
Explain the action that Henri and Lila should expect from the
bank regarding their property.
Describe how the banks actions would differ if it was a deed of
trust rather than a mortgage.
Respond in a minimum of 600–850-word essay with additional
title and reference pages using APA format and citation style.

Week 2 Discussion: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder is considered as a mental health disorder that negatively impacts how an individual feel, think and behave. Individuals who suffer from depression exhibit feelings of sadness and loss in interest in once enjoyed activities (Parekh. 2017). It can cause different kinds of emotional and physical problems and can minimize an individual’s ability to be functional in their daily routines. Annually, approximately 6.7% of adults are impacted by depression. It is estimated that 16.6% of individuals will experience depression at some time in their life (Parekh. 2017). Depression is said to manifest at any time, but on average, the first manifestation occurs during the late teens to mid-20s. The female population is susceptible to experience depression than the male population. Some research indicated that one-third of the female population would experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime (Parekh. 2017).
Among all the mental disorders, depression is one of the most treatable. It is estimated that between 80-90 % of individuals suffering from depression respond well to treatment and experienced remission of their symptoms (Parekh. 2017). As a mental health professional, prior to deciphering diagnosis and initiating diagnosis, it is paramount to conduct a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes an interview and, if necessary, a physical examination (Parekh. 2017). Blood tests can be conducted to ascertain that depression is not precipitated by a medical condition like thyroid dysfunction. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors, and environmental factors to derive a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan (Parekh. 2017). One of the assessment tools for depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In this discussion, I will be discussing the psychometric properties of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and elaborate on when it is appropriate to utilize this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be utilized to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was introduced in early 1960. It has been considered as a gold standard in depression studies and a preferred scale in the evaluation of depression treatment. It is the most vastly utilized observer-rated depression scale worldwide (Vindbjerg.et.al., 2019). The HDRS was initially created to measure symptoms severity in depressed inpatient; however, the 17-item HAM-D has advanced in over five decades into 11 modified versions that have been administered to various patient populations in an array of psychiatric, medical, and other research settings (Rohan.et.al., 2016). There are two most common versions with either 17 or 21 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Each item assists mental health professionals or c.

Technet Case Study for Virtualization
Technet is a hypothetical business in the storage manufacturing industry. This paper intend to elaborate the server virtualization concept using Microsoft
virtualization software from Windows server 2012R2. Organization’s Preparedness for Virtualization. As of now, the IT system design is a mishmash of old
frameworks that were obtained through various acquisitions of different providers in the storage industry. In any case, these old frameworks are aging and will soon
need to be upgraded. Generally, these old frameworks support applications that have been in service for about 10 years. The IT system situated in one of Technet
branch in Asia for instance comprise of old servers that have been in service for the last 5 years. These old servers were launched to support production and
productivity applications. The expense for permit of these old applications are presently being inspected to check whether they can be dropped and the
information moved to current Technet Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Consequently, since several IT related components are potential
contender for upgrading, this makes the likelihood of changing over current physical server farms into virtualized computing resources appropriate. Microsoft
Licensing of Virtualized Environments
Datacenter and the Standard edition are the two license version for Windows Server 2012R2 offered by Microsoft. There is likewise a free version called
Hyper-V Server which is an independent system that only contains the Windows hypervisor, a driver model as well as virtualization modules. Every window
version underpins Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor offering, likewise referred to as a bare-metal installation, and each Hyper-V server is known as a
Host (Portnoy, 2012). The Windows Server.

Sourcing
After 13 years, Kellwood, an American apparel maker, ended its soups!to!nuts IS outsourcing
arrangement with EDS . The primary focus of the original outsourcing contract was to integrate
12 individually acquired units with different systems into one system. Kellwood had been satis-
" ed enough with EDS ’ s performance to renegotiate the contract in 2002 and 2008, even though
at each renegotiation point, Kellwood had considered bringing the IS operations back in house,
or backsourcing. The 2008 contract iteration resulted in a more # exible $105 million contract that
EDS estimated would save Kellwood $2 million in the " rst year and $9 million over the remaining
contract years. But the situation at Kellwood had changed drastically. In 2008, Kellwood had been
purchased by Sun Capital Partners and taken private. The chief operating of" cer (COO), who was
facing a mountain of debt and possibly bankruptcy, wanted to consolidate and bring the operations
back in house to give some order to the current situation and reduce costs. Kellwood was suffering
from a lack of IS standardization as a result of its many acquisitions. The chief information of" cer
(CIO) recognized the importance of IS standardization and costs, but she was concerned that the
transition from outsourcing to insourcing would cause serious disruption to IS service levels and
project deadlines if it went poorly. Kellwood hired a third!party consultant to help it explore the
issues and decided that backsourcing would save money and respond to changes caused by both the
market and internal forces. Kellwood decided to backsource and started the process in late 2009. It
carefully planned for the transition, and the implementation went smoothly. By performing stream-
lined operations in house, it was able to report an impressive $3.6 million savings, or about 17% of
annual IS expenses after the " rst year. 1
The Kellwood case demonstrates a series of decisions made in relation to sourcing. Both the
decision to outsource IS operations and then to bring them back in house were based on a series of
This chapter is organized around decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle. The ! rst question
regarding information systems (IS) in the cycle relates to the decision to make (insource) or
buy (outsource) them. This chapter ’ s focus is on issues related to outsourcing whereas issues
related to insourcing are discussed in other chapters of this book. Discussed are the critical
decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle: how and where (cloud computing, onshoring,
offshoring). When the choice is offshoring, the next decision is where abroad (farshoring,
nearshoring, or captive centers). Explored next in this chapter is the ! nal decision in the
cycle, keep as is or change in which case the current arrangements are assessed and modi-
! cations are made to the outsourcing arrangem.

The Digestive System
– Food nourishes the body by providing energy for
activity
– Digestion begins in the mouth
• Salivary glands provide moisture that allows food to
have taste
• Importance of good mastication
The Digestive System
The Digestive System
– Food is swallowed and then moves through the
pharynx and esophagus
– Peristalsis moves food through the digestive
system
– In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices
so it can be absorbed by the small intestine
– Most nutrients are digested in the small intestine
– Digestion process is complete when waste is
eliminated

Supporting the Gut Microbiome
Dysbiosis = unbalanced gut microbiome
• associated with weight gain, insulin resistance,
inflammation
Probiotics
• contain live microorganisms
• maintain or improve the "good" bacteria (normal microflora)
in the body
• e.g., fermented foods, yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi
Prebiotics
• act as food for human microflora
• helps improve microflora balance
• e.g., whole grains, bananas, greens, onions, garlic

Factors in Weight Maintenance
– Stable weight occurs when calories eaten equal those
expended for body metabolism and physical exercise
[OLD THINKING]
– Complicated interplay of nutrients, hormones, and
inflammation
• Metabolic rates differ from person to person
• Ghrelin, a hormone, stimulates appetite
• Leptin, a protein, signals satiation and fat storage
• Insulin, a hormone produced in pancreas
– unlocks cells for glucose use for energy
– cues hypothalamus for satiation and decreased appetite
Factors in Weight Maintenance
What is obesity?
– Overeating is not the sole cause of obesity
– Various methods to assess body fat
• Skin-fold technique
• Percentage body fat
• Body mass index (BMI)
– Can also be thought of in terms of social and
cultural standards
– ideal body = thinner in past 50 years

2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.

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