HM500: Crisis and Emergency Management
Unit 2 Discussion Question
Part 1: Topic: Out of Control Grass Fire
You are the director of emergency services for your community. The temperature outside is over 100 degrees, the humidity is only 17%, and the Santa Ana winds have begun to blow. At 10:15 a.m., a grass fire is reported and the local fire department is responding. As these first units arrive on scene they realize that the fire is out of control, and that homes are being threatened.
The on-scene commander quickly calls for additional fire units and for the police to begin evacuating homes that are being threatened. By 1:30 p.m., the fire has grown 10 times its original size and continues out of control; several houses are in immediate danger, and all local resources are now exhausted.
What steps would you take and when would you call for mutual aid? Additionally, at what point would you request federal assistance? Discuss the options available to you as the director of emergency services. Provide a thorough explanation of your choices.
Part 2: Respond to Student #1Unit 2 Discussion - Out of Control Grass Fire
Kathryn Ostrom posted May 14, 2021 12:28 PM
Hello Professor and Class,
Due to the fire growing 10 times its original size, my first step would be calling for neighboring fire departments to assist in controlling the fire and helping to evacuate residence. It is important to asses which direction the wind is blowing to determine the direction the fire will continue to go until it is put out. If this did not at least slow the fire, this is when I would request federal assistance. "Federal responsibility for wildfire suppression is intended to protect lives, property, and resources on federal lands" (Hoover, 2019). Due to the fire continuing to grow and local response not being able to control it, to ensure lives are protected it would be important to call for federal assistance. They would be able to help with controlling the fire, evacuation of residence, and additional resources for individuals who have had to leave their homes.
Thank you,
Kathryn Ostrom

Matthew Burdette posted May 14, 2021 11:25 PM
There are a few steps that I would take when deciding to call for mutual aid. After assessing the situation, I would identify the resources and agencies available to me. I can do this by reviewing my state’s Mission Ready Package or MRP. FEMA (2017) explained the MRP as “a specific mechanism that uses NIMS resource typing criteria to describe expected mission parameters and select the resources” (p. 12). This document would provide me with the information such as a mission statement, a description of any condi ...

Invervention Proposal (all assignments mentioned below are attached)
In Week Three, you created a literature review around the scenario that you selected in Week One (scenario is below). For the Week Six assignment, you will create an intervention proposal that contains a professional recommendation for the chosen case study. The Intervention Proposal should incorporate the Week Three Literature Review and Week One Annotated Bibliography assignments.
In a 10- to 12-page paper (not including the title page or references page) the student will:
Briefly restate the problem from the chosen case study.
Compose a thesis statement that contains the student’s professional recommendation. The thesis statement should be located near the end of the second paragraph of the report.
Explain the relevant theories and empirical studies that have led to the student’s professional recommendation. The explanation must include evaluations of seven to eight, peer-reviewed articles from the Annotated Bibliography that was created in Week Two. At least one of these articles must be about a specific empirical study. In addition, the explanation must:
Evaluate each article (comparing and contrasting them with the other articles) and answer the following questions:
What was the researchers’ research question?
What was their hypothesis?
How many participants did they have?
Was the research design method appropriate for that particular hypothesis? Was it valid?
Did their findings support the hypothesis?
What are the implications?
What are the limitations?
Discuss the opposing sides to the student’s recommendation and explain:
Why it is relevant.
Why it should be considered.
Why it should be discounted for this recommendation.
Discuss any limitations or gaps in existing research.
Restate the professional recommendation in one to two concluding paragraphs.
The paper must include a title page and references page, and it must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Organization tip: It is best to start with the least related and most broad article and move toward the most relevant. It can be helpful to think of the organization for this report as a funnel: The articles evaluated should get more and more specific and narrow in breadth throughout the report.
Language Note: This report is being written for an audience that is not familiar with the theories and material that are discussed. This means that the paper needs to be accessible to all individuals. All technical terms, acronyms, and theories should be explained and jargon should be avoided.
Scenario Three: The Psychology of Disaster Preparedness
In September 2003 a Category Two hurricane made landfall in a town that was ill prepared for such a natural disaster. The hurricane claimed over 100 lives and caused approximately $1.4 billion in damages. This large American city had not experienced a natural disaster of this proportion for more than 100 years.

The Johnson county emergency manager, the city of Smith police chief, and the state of chaos director of homeland security are working together to plan for evacuations of citizens and their pets and livestock during wildfires, which are prevalent in their region each summer. During the last round of fires this past summer, several critical issues surfaced.
People were reluctant to leave pets and livestock behind, but it was critical that they evacuate quickly to save their own lives. Some people were caught sneaking back into the area to liberate their animals, and one woman was severely injured by returning to a closed area for a pet.
People often attempted to defend their own properties from fire with water hoses, fire repellents, and with makeshift earthen berms. Trying to force them to leave their land led to several confrontations and even a few arrests for physical altercations. These encounters also consumed precious time and resources.
Shelters that could be ready quickly had very limited space on short notice. More space could be arranged, but it often took 24 hours or longer to coordinate larger areas. None of the currently designated shelters permit pets.
Residents of vulnerable areas complained that they had little advance warning of an approaching fire. They received no word when an "all clear" was called.
Residents who were evacuated more than once are publicly demanding that local and state leadership take proactive preventative measures.
You are a planner within one of the three agencies listed in the scenario. In developing plans for crisis response, you have found the scientific method to be extremely effective, especially because it helps to identify empirical evidence that supports predicting behavior and prescribing policy. Based on the scenario, you must do the following:
Assignment Guidelines
Develop three (3) separate research questions with regard to the wildfire information above.
In 1,000–1,250 words, address the following
For each research question, explain why the research question has merit and how it is tied to lessons learned from the past fire season.
Consider and present arguments for what real-world applicability answering each question could provide to your agency.
For each research question, develop three (3) separate hypotheses that could be tested.
For each hypothesis, identify the independent and dependent variables.
Explain why the causality between these variables goes in the direction you claim that it goes. (In other words, make clear why the variables cannot logically be reversed.)

SMART Fire incident objectives in San Francisco
Following the fire incident on the coast of San Francisco there some measures that will be taken by the emergency incident responder on the ground that will set objectives that are consistent with the priorities gauged on the ground considering the place carries a capacity of thousands of people. The thermal pulse is likely to cause too much damage and within seconds people will die because of the spread of fire in the next 24 hours. S: Evacuation of all the people in the area that the fire has not reached should be executed immediately within this minute to prevent more damage. This objective is what should be done because the lives of the people are a priority in this case, (Cheng, et.al, 2017).
M: 5,000 jets have been sent on the coast of San Francisco to transport the people being evacuated including the injured people. This objective is important in this case because the progress in achieving the directive should be pursued, (Cheng, et.al, 2017). A: A number of jets have been seen departing the shore with more than 100,000 people and there are more planes to come. This shows that there is action being taken that describes the expected accomplishment of the situation. T: The evacuation of the people should be achieved in the next 6 hours to save more lives as possible. This ensures that there is immediate action that does not lead to delays that can cause more damage and loss of people considering the impact of the radiation from the fall out has significant impact on their health hence need to get them from the place.
PART 2:
The Fire Department that was assigned to respond to the situation at hand in San Francisco and life safety was their priority in this case. They a have a crucial role to play in an event of a hazardous situation which means that the team was well trained about fire blasts and explosions. They could not control the ignition of the fire and therefore the only thing they could do was to save as many lives as possible, (Nunavath, et.al, 2016). Fire responders always work strategically and quickly in a situation where a fire can escalate causing more damage and controlling the threat may pose a challenge. They did all they could to minimize the loss of lives by evacuating all the people from buildings. Although, the blast had a huge impact on the shore leading to many people dying, they took the initiative of trying to save the remaining lives.
The resources used in the fire incident were not entirely available in our Fire Department; the jets were provided by other fire departments and the federal government who had a major role to play in the incident also sort for help. The department has not handled such as event of thousands of people. We lack financing of more jets in the fire department and should be strengthened to increase efficiency, (Jensen & Thompson, 2016). We need resources that can support ...

Disaster Logistics Management Evaluation Criteria
In Module 2 SLP, evaluation criteria were developed for the different phases of a disaster. In this SLP, we will now use the criteria developed to assess for management success or failure. First, disasters will be reviewed, and then further research and analysis will need to be accomplished to assess each disaster logistics management.
1. Review three relatively recent widespread US disasters and very briefly describe the event to include when, where, what, type of disaster, damage, fatalities. This can be done in outline form.
2. Develop a table and briefly assess each for logistical management success or failure in each of the phases (preparedness, response, and recovery) based on the criteria developed in Module 2 SLP. Justify your answers.
3. Select one of the disasters evaluated and further discuss some lessons learned for each phase of logistics management at the federal, state, and local levels.

Disaster Management
Recently Widespread Disasters in the United States
Some of the widespread disasters in the United States include; wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, and winter storms. Wildfires have become a common occurrence in the United States. For instance, in the year 2021, wildfires began in the central and western parts of Kansas. The fire resulted in the death of two individuals and injuries to three other individuals. It is also prudent to note that the wildfires destroyed approximately 163,000 acres of wildlife and about 42 structures. The second form of widespread disaster in the United States is tornadoes (LeComte, 2019). The most recent tornado occurred on December 10th, 2021 in Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. This disaster led to the deaths of approximately 90 individuals and injured many more. Hurricanes have also become one of the most widespread disasters in the United States due to the proximity of most states to water bodies. The most recent hurricane popularly known as hurricane Ida occurred and caused mass destruction along the gulf coast of Louisiana after which it moved north and led to the flooding of households. This hurricane led to the deaths of close to 115 individuals and serious destruction as well. The final widespread disaster in the United States is Winter storms. The most common winter storm occurred on February 13th, 2021. The worst hit state was Texas since it faced a power crisis due to the storms. The storms led to the deaths of 223 individuals.

celebration is a winter festival which has its origin from the Han dynasty, a festival
for Chinese people to gather and chat normally takes place between Dec 21st and
23rd. I meet some people who are like-minded such as myself. We shared similar
goals and ambitions like giving back to the community in which we grew up. what
was even more shocking to me was when we didn't even know each other and
they made me feel very comfortable. The event was pretty small but, I saw the
bigger picture. It was to promote the Chinese culture at TCU so that real

The second form of widespread disaster in the United States is tornadoes (LeComte, 2019). The most recent tornado occurred on December 10th, 2021 in Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. This disaster led to the deaths of approximately 90 individuals and injured many more. Hurricanes have also become one of the most widespread disasters in the United States due to the proximity of most states to water bodies. The most recent hurricane popularly known as hurricane Ida occurred and caused mass destruction along the gulf coast of Louisiana after which it moved north and led to the flooding of households. This hurricane led to the deaths of close to 115 individuals and serious destruction as well. The final widespread disaster in the United States is Winter storms. The most common winter storm occurred on February 13th, 2021. The worst hit state was Texas since it faced a power crisis due to the storms. The storms led to the deaths of 223 individuals.

NIMS Supporting Technology Evaluation Program
For this assignment, you will research and examine an actual emergency situation of your choosing (either a man-made or natural disaster) occurring within the last 8 years that required interaction among the local, state, and national levels. The research and examination should be reported in a paper written from the position of a local emergency management employee assigned to draft a report to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This assignment will require research into the authority, responsibility, and technological capabilities of FEMA.
Within the past 8 years, there have been many catastrophes, not necessarily involving terrorist acts but requiring crisis management resources. Examples include Hurricane Katrina; the 2010 oil well explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; the broken natural gas pipeline and resulting explosion in San Bruno, California; and major wildfires in California, Colorado, and other states, to name a few.

goals and ambitions like giving back to the community in which we grew up. what
was even more shocking to me was when we didn't even know each other and
they made me feel very comfortable. The event was pretty small but, I saw the
bigger picture. It was to promote the Chinese culture at TCU so that real

Terrorism at the XXVI Summer Olympiad
Terrorism
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken the broad spectrum of terrorism and divided the types into two areas: domestic terrorism and international terrorism. The definitions for both areas are rather broad in scope. According to Watson, domestic terrorism is defined by the FBI as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction” (para. 8). Additionally, the FBI uses the definition of “violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or any state. Acts are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a government, or affect the conduct of a government” (para. 9) for their international terrorism category.
Both domestic and international terrorism is rooted in extremist and their ideals and the use of tactics that promote terror to further their agenda. According to Martin (2019), the typical objectives for terrorism are to change the existing order, social disruption, psychological disruption, and creating a revolutionary environment (pp. 10-11).
Eric Rudolph was responsible for the July 27, 1996 bombing during the XXVI Summer Olympiad in Atlanta when he used a nail-laden pipe bomb in Centennial Olympic Park that killed a woman who had driven with her daughter to Atlanta to celebrate the Olympics, and injured over 100 others (History, 2010, para. 1). According to the FBI, the motives behind Rudolph’s attack included his anti-government, anti-gay, and other biases (para. 12).

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

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). ...

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

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

RE: Week 6 Discussion 1
The most significant obstacle to obtaining an education in developing countries is funding. Money is needed to fund the education system so they can bring in skilled teachers to educate the students in the classroom. If money is a problem then it will be hard to find teachers, then it will be hard for students to find a job if they do not finish their education. Providing funding to school systems in developing countries should take priority because this affects our future children of the world. If our children are educated, then they are more likely to find a decent paying job. Another reason this should take priority is because it allows the developing countries to grow economically. If there is proper funding for the education system, then this could allow for better job opportunities that could benefit the developing country in the long run.
Week 6 Discussion 2
"Preparing for Emergencies" Please respond to the following:
· Read the scenario below. Use the Internet to research the various grant opportunities for outfitting emergency response units. Then, select two (2) funds that you would apply for based on the scenario. Provide a rationale for your selection.
Imagine that you are the director of homeland security for a state where several high-risk terrorism targets are located. There is a high probability of hazardous material incidents and you have identified credible threats associated with the emerging sovereign citizens’ movement. Your state agency is well prepared by having response units in place. However, you don’t have the funds to properly outfit all possible response units for each of the possible threats. Your agency is eligible to receive federal grant funds and you have been tasked with researching and writing the grant proposal.
· Over the last few years, potential pandemics have gained increased attention among law enforcement professionals at both the state and local levels. As the top law enforcement official in your community, develop a reaction plan, which contains the first three (3) main procedures to maintain public orders if a pandemic occurred.

Grand Challenges for Disaster ReductionFrancisYee1
The Grand Challenges for Disaster Reduction outlines a ten-year
strategy crafted by the National Science and Technology Council’s
Subcommittee on Disaster Reduction (SDR). It sets forth six Grand
Challenges that, when addressed, will enhance community
resilience to disasters and thus create a more disaster-resilient
Nation. These Grand Challenges require sustained Federal
investment as well as collaborations with state and local
governments, professional societies and trade associations, the
private sector, academia, and the international community to
successfully transfer disaster reduction science and technology
into common use.
To meet these Challenges, the SDR has identified priority science and technology
interagency implementation actions by hazard that build upon ongoing efforts.
Addressing these implementation actions will improve America’s capacity to prevent and
recover from disasters, thus fulfilling our Nation’s commitment to reducing the impacts
of all hazards and enhancing the safety and economic well-being of every individual
and community. This is the wildland fire-specific implementation plan. See also sdr.gov

· Agriculture and Food
· Banking and Finance
· Communications
· Defense Industrial Base
· Energy
· Information Technology
· National Monuments and Icons
· Transportation Systems
· Water
What are some of the major threats to the CI/KR sectors identified above? Discuss some of the critical vulnerabilities of these CI/KR sectors. What are some of the prime consequences if these CI/KR sectors are damaged or destroyed? Describe DHS plans to deter threats, mitigate vulnerabilities, and minimize consequences.

Hello classmates/Professor
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 provides the basis for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsibilities in the protection of the Nation’s CIKR. The act assigns DHS the responsibility for developing a comprehensive national plan for securing CIKR and for recommending the “measures necessary to protect the key resources and critical infrastructure of the United States coordination with other agencies of the Federal Government and in cooperation with State and
local government agencies and authorities, the private sector, and other entities. (Chertoff, 2009) The NIPP defines the organizational structures that provide
the framework for coordination of CIKR protection efforts at all levels of government, their framework includes the action of setting goals and objectives, Identify Assets, Systems and Networks, Assess Risk, consequences, vulnerabilities, and threats. Prioritize, Implement Programs and Measure effectiveness.
The NIPP Conducts research and development and using technology to improve CIKR protection-related capabilities to ensure refined risk assessments for many years into the future. The NIPP assistance programs offers Federal grant assistance to State, local, tribal, and territorial entities; and complement relevant private sector activities. Part of their mission is to make America safer and more secure from cyber attacks and also both man made and natural disasters. Together, the NIPP and SSPs provide the mechanisms for identifying critical assets, systems, and networks, and their associated sectors. In dealing with risk and emergencies the NIPP has Sector Specific Agencies that are assigned certain areas of responsibilities such as Agriculture, Food, Energy and Water.

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 ...
Disasters can be devastating for state and local governments. These events can threaten lives, the environment, local economies, and a government’s financial resources as it tries to respond. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) was created to lessen the suffering of affected tribal, state, and local governments during these events. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is responsible for administering this aid through the Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program. The problem was that the City of Largo lacked a comprehensive understanding of FEMA Public Assistance Grant Program procedures. The purpose of this applied research was to use the descriptive research method to identify shortcomings in the City of Largo's current disaster reimbursement protocols. The procedures for this research consisted of a focused literature review followed by the assemblage of data using various sources including City policy and expert interviews. The data were then analyzed to determine (a) What are the City of Largo's current disaster reimbursement procedures? (b) What are Pinellas County's expectations of local municipalities seeking reimbursement post-disaster? (c) What are the State of Florida's expectations of local municipalities seeking reimbursement post-disaster? The research highlighted several areas within the City of Largo's current disaster reimbursement procedures that warrant improvement. Following the analysis, recommendations were made including identifying and training personnel who will be responsible for participating in the reimbursement process, developing a formal disaster reimbursement policy, and the overall improvement of documentation standards.

Written Lecture
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

To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 2 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to multicultural perspectives and considerations
Review the article, “Psychological Assessment of Children in Disasters and Emergencies,” and focus on the special issues related to assessing the needs of children and adolescents after a crisis. Also concentrate on the different psychological assessment tools that are appropriate for use with this population after a crisis.
Review the article, “Natural Disasters that Reveal Cracks in Our Social Foundation.” Think about the ways in which a break down in services and communication can be avoided for the elderly population during crises like the 2003 France heat wave.
Review the article, “The Transformation of Traditional Mental Health Service Delivery in Multicultural Society in California, USA That Can Be Replicated Globally,” paying particular attention to the necessity of mental health services as a top priority during crises.
Review the article, “Vulnerable Populations in an American Red Cross Shelter After Hurricane Katrina,” and think about the ways in which the ‘Model of Vulnerable Populations’ helps address crises wherein people suffer from multiple losses in their communities. Also think about appropriate mental health obligations that should be taken into consideration when working with vulnerable populations during and after a crisis.
Review the article, “Responding to Student or Teacher Death: Preplanning Crisis Intervention,” and focus on the importance of communicating with parents and students, as well as fostering a grieving process that facilitates healing after a student or teacher death.
Reflect on your Application Assignment from this week and think about the alternative communication systems and strategies that can be used when assisting individuals who have experienced a crisis. Also think about the ways in which to reach and communicate with vulnerable populations in these same situations(Whether a crisis or disaster is natural or man-made, effective communication strategies are needed no matter where it occurs. A great deal was learned about communication issues in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. After this disaster, thousands of residents in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana were without roads, electricity, or cell phone towers. Because of this, creative means of communication, both inside and outside the region, were needed. Agencies with satellite phones had no difficulty, but for most survivors this was not a possibility—it was difficult to make phone calls both outside and inside the region. One means of communicating, however, was successful for many—text messaging. But, of course, this required a digital phone with texting capability, which not all had access to. In order to reach survivors who did not have this capability, four-wheel drive vehicles or trucks were necessary because roads and bridges were destroyed. Tr ...
Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully an.docxSusanaFurman449
Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully and then ask me in class to explain anything that isn't clear. You can also email me with questions.
At the end there is a short list of possible sites for the ethnography: Sikh, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist. Shumei. There are other religions and many other sites. Bahai is an interesting religion but you have to be invited to attend by a member.
Mormon the same.
If you have access to a Santeria or similar ceremony, great!
To make the project worthwhile choose a site as different from your own background as you can.
If you have a Christian or Catholic background do not do your paper on any kind of Christian or Catholic service.
You are welcome to attend a non-English language service as long as you understand the language being used.
Be sure to okay your choice with me. Some places that don’t work for this project are Scientology, the Self Realization Fellowship, the Kabbalah Center, SGI Buddhist, Hare Krishna.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Attend a religious activity that you’re curious about and would like to explore.
You must attend a service, not simply visit a religious site.
Examples: a mosque, temple, synagogue, gurdwara.
You can probably find an interesting place of worship near where you live or work.
It’s always a good idea to phone or email the place of worship before you attend.
Research methods must include participant/observation and informal conversation. One slightly more formal interview is desirable.
Be absolutely sure to allow time to stay after the service for food, lunch, other refreshment, or informal gathering. This may well be the most important part of your experience and will enable you to answer the question, “What meaning does this place and this service have for the participants?
You must go some place you’ve never been to before. Do NOT choose your own tradition or somewhere you’re even a bit familiar with. Choose somewhere entirely new and different.
The important thing is to come to the service as an outsider, with the eyes and ears of an anthropologist and take note of everything. Use the skills you’ve learned in this class.
You can attend alone or with a co-researcher or two from the class. Best, you can be the guest(s) of a classmate or someone else you know and discuss the event with them. Invite a classmate or two to attend a service from your tradition.
Do not write about an event you attended in the past. But you can use past experiences for comparison and reflection.
It is almost never appropriate to jot down notes during a religious service. Better, write everything you remember immediately after the event. Get sufficient detail to write what anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick”, or rich description.
In writing your paper use terms we've discussed in class and think about connections to the reading we’ve done and films we’ve seen.

3. The different styles/genres of songs the artist(s) perform.
4. Use your notes and experience to describe the different musical elements (i.e. melody, harmony, timbre, technology, form, volume, etc.) you recognize in most (if not all) the songs/pieces.
5. Be sure to arrive on time to hear the
entire concert.
6. Attach a photo of the flyer, ticket, or webpage (or social media event) when you submit this assignment.
7. Describe your personal reaction to the concert. List reasons why you think it was successful or not. However, do not make this the center of your paper. It should be
one or two paragraphs at the end. Further, use
data to support your arguments about why it was successful or not successful. (e.g., How did people respond verbally and non-verbally? Was this based on your perception or was there a general consensus? If it is a consensus, then what facts do you have to support this?)
8. Try to do some background research on the genre or artist before and after you attend the concert. This is not a research paper, but if you use any information from any source (including the artist's website), you
must cite it both in-text and on a works-cited page.

Terrorism at the XXVI Summer Olympiad
Terrorism
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken the broad spectrum of terrorism and divided the types into two areas: domestic terrorism and international terrorism. The definitions for both areas are rather broad in scope. According to Watson, domestic terrorism is defined by the FBI as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States (or its territories) without foreign direction” (para. 8). Additionally, the FBI uses the definition of “violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or any state. Acts are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a government, or affect the conduct of a government” (para. 9) for their international terrorism category.
Both domestic and international terrorism is rooted in extremist and their ideals and the use of tactics that promote terror to further their agenda. According to Martin (2019), the typical objectives for terrorism are to change the existing order, social disruption, psychological disruption, and creating a revolutionary environment (pp. 10-11).
Eric Rudolph was responsible for the July 27, 1996 bombing during the XXVI Summer Olympiad in Atlanta when he used a nail-laden pipe bomb in Centennial Olympic Park that killed a woman who had driven with her daughter to Atlanta to celebrate the Olympics, and injured over 100 others (History, 2010, para. 1). According to the FBI, the motives behind Rudolph’s attack included his anti-government, anti-gay, and other biases (para. 12).

I think we can all agree that conducting a risk assessment in the forefront is perhaps the most important part of any emergency response plan. This sets the foundation for identifying risks and hazards that our response area could be exposed to. Planning, training, coordination and communication are equally as important. Planning helps us to outline how we would respond in kind to the incidents, risks and hazards that we identified in our risk assessment. Training ensures that each agency involved is on not only on the same page but understand their responsibilities once that plan is enacted. Coordination goes hand in hand with training, properly coordinated actions results in a well coordinated dance with everyone knowing their part. And communication, we cannot stress enough how important communication is because if we cannot properly transmit information in real time within the responding agencies, our plan is going to suffer and things could be missed.
The best way to ensure all of these steps are followed and the plan gets executed properly is simply to train on it quarterly as well as hold hot washes, an after action get together where what went right and what went wrong is discussed so that we can improve. Continuous training as well as constant communication is the only way we all get on the same page.

A successful emergency operations plan (EOP) requires cooperation and understanding from all groups and agencies involved. A major component of the EOP is the base plan. “The base plan: Contains the most comprehensive information about the community, its risks, its statutory authorities, and the general concept by which emergency operations are conducted (Haddow et al, 2021, p. 136). This is an important component because it lays out what the problem is, the risks or hazards it proposes, and who has what authority or roles and responsibilities for certain actions. This supports the idea that risk assessment is an important part of the EOP. Risk assessment can also be a great tool for inclusion and preparation of all supporting organizations. Including them in the risk assessment conversation will allow any uncertainty in the plan to be vocalized and help with better cohesion as the plan is implemented.
To make sure that all levels have a common vision of the EOPs goals and focus, we have NIMS and the NRF that help with the concept of ...

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). ...

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

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

RE: Week 6 Discussion 1
The most significant obstacle to obtaining an education in developing countries is funding. Money is needed to fund the education system so they can bring in skilled teachers to educate the students in the classroom. If money is a problem then it will be hard to find teachers, then it will be hard for students to find a job if they do not finish their education. Providing funding to school systems in developing countries should take priority because this affects our future children of the world. If our children are educated, then they are more likely to find a decent paying job. Another reason this should take priority is because it allows the developing countries to grow economically. If there is proper funding for the education system, then this could allow for better job opportunities that could benefit the developing country in the long run.

There is a high probability of hazardous material incidents and you have identified credible threats associated with the emerging sovereign citizens’ movement. Your state agency is well prepared by having response units in place. However, you don’t have the funds to properly outfit all possible response units for each of the possible threats. Your agency is eligible to receive federal grant funds and you have been tasked with researching and writing the grant proposal.
· Over the last few years, potential pandemics have gained increased attention among law enforcement professionals at both the state and local levels.

Challenges that, when addressed, will enhance community
resilience to disasters and thus create a more disaster-resilient
Nation. These Grand Challenges require sustained Federal
investment as well as collaborations with state and local
governments, professional societies and trade associations, the
private sector, academia, and the international community to
successfully transfer disaster reduction science and technology
into common use.
To meet these Challenges, the SDR has identified priority science and technology
interagency implementation actions by hazard that build upon ongoing efforts.
Addressing these implementation actions will improve America’s capacity to prevent and
recover from disasters, thus fulfilling our Nation’s commitment to reducing the impacts
of all hazards and enhancing the safety and economic well-being of every individual
and community. This is the wildland fire-specific implementation plan. See also sdr.gov
for other hazard-specific implementation plans.

Topic 1: Infrastructure Protection
A detailed discussion of threats to and the process of protecting critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) sectors from man-made and natural disasters are essential for understanding one of the main missions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In detailed analysis of threats and protection challenges, several CI/KR sectors have emerged that require the attention of DHS professionals. These sectors include:
· Agriculture and Food
· Banking and Finance
· Communications
· Defense Industrial Base
· Energy
· Information Technology
· National Monuments and Icons
· Transportation Systems
· Water
What are some of the major threats to the CI/KR sectors identified above? Discuss some of the critical vulnerabilities of these CI/KR sectors. What are some of the prime consequences if these CI/KR sectors are damaged or destroyed? Describe DHS plans to deter threats, mitigate vulnerabilities, and minimize consequences.

Jeffery Bailey
Hello classmates/Professor
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 provides the basis for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsibilities in the protection of the Nation’s CIKR. The act assigns DHS the responsibility for developing a comprehensive national plan for securing CIKR and for recommending the “measures necessary to protect the key resources and critical infrastructure of the United States coordination with other agencies of the Federal Government and in cooperation with State and
local government agencies and authorities, the private sector, and other entities. (Chertoff, 2009) The NIPP defines the organizational structures that provide
the framework for coordination of CIKR protection efforts at all levels of government, their framework includes the action of setting goals and objectives, Identify Assets, Systems and Networks, Assess Risk, consequences, vulnerabilities, and threats. Prioritize, Implement Programs and Measure effectiveness.
The NIPP Conducts research and development and using technology to improve CIKR protection-related capabilities to ensure refined risk assessments for many years into the future. The NIPP assistance programs offers Federal grant assistance to State, local, tribal, and territorial entities; and complement relevant private sector activities. Part of their mission is to make America safer and more secure from cyber attacks and also both man made and natural disasters. Together, the NIPP and SSPs provide the mechanisms for identifying critical assets, systems, and networks, and their associated sectors. In dealing with risk and emergencies the NIPP has Sector Specific Agencies that are assigned certain areas of responsibilities such as Agriculture, Food, Energy and Water. Banking and Finance Communications, in dealing with the potential risk that may befall any of these entities the NIPP takes critical steps to assess, mitigate, protect, and plan for futur ...

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 ...
Disasters can be devastating for state and local governments. These events can threaten lives, the environment, local economies, and a government’s financial resources as it tries to respond. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) was created to lessen the suffering of affected tribal, state, and local governments during these events. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is responsible for administering this aid through the Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program. The problem was that the City of Largo lacked a comprehensive understanding of FEMA Public Assistance Grant Program procedures. The purpose of this applied research was to use the descriptive research method to identify shortcomings in the City of Largo's current disaster reimbursement protocols. The procedures for this research consisted of a focused literature review followed by the assemblage of data using various sources including City policy and expert interviews. The data were then analyzed to determine (a) What are the City of Largo's current disaster reimbursement procedures? (b) What are Pinellas County's expectations of local municipalities seeking reimbursement post-disaster? (c) What are the State of Florida's expectations of local municipalities seeking reimbursement post-disaster? The research highlighted several areas within the City of Largo's current disaster reimbursement procedures that warrant improvement. Following the analysis, recommendations were made including identifying and training personnel who will be responsible for participating in the reimbursement process, developing a formal disaster reimbursement policy, and the overall improvement of documentation standards.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to:
1.Describe various types of support organizations and their related purposes.
2.Discuss how support organizations assist the fire service.
3.Summarize how to contact specific organizations when their services are needed.
4.Identify support functions and explain their responsibilities and duties needed by the fire service.
5.Analyze the value and importance of fire service support functions.
6.Identify the characteristics of a managerial support function and a technical support function.
Written Lecture
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

To prepare for this DiscussionReview Chapter 2 in your course.docxrowthechang
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 2 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to multicultural perspectives and considerations
Review the article, “Psychological Assessment of Children in Disasters and Emergencies,” and focus on the special issues related to assessing the needs of children and adolescents after a crisis. Also concentrate on the different psychological assessment tools that are appropriate for use with this population after a crisis.
Review the article, “Natural Disasters that Reveal Cracks in Our Social Foundation.” Think about the ways in which a break down in services and communication can be avoided for the elderly population during crises like the 2003 France heat wave.
Review the article, “The Transformation of Traditional Mental Health Service Delivery in Multicultural Society in California, USA That Can Be Replicated Globally,” paying particular attention to the necessity of mental health services as a top priority during crises.
Review the article, “Vulnerable Populations in an American Red Cross Shelter After Hurricane Katrina,” and think about the ways in which the ‘Model of Vulnerable Populations’ helps address crises wherein people suffer from multiple losses in their communities. Also think about appropriate mental health obligations that should be taken into consideration when working with vulnerable populations during and after a crisis.
Review the article, “Responding to Student or Teacher Death: Preplanning Crisis Intervention,” and focus on the importance of communicating with parents and students, as well as fostering a grieving process that facilitates healing after a student or teacher death.
Reflect on your Application Assignment from this week and think about the alternative communication systems and strategies that can be used when assisting individuals who have experienced a crisis. Also think about the ways in which to reach and communicate with vulnerable populations in these same situations(Whether a crisis or disaster is natural or man-made, effective communication strategies are needed no matter where it occurs. A great deal was learned about communication issues in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. After this disaster, thousands of residents in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana were without roads, electricity, or cell phone towers. Because of this, creative means of communication, both inside and outside the region, were needed. Agencies with satellite phones had no difficulty, but for most survivors this was not a possibility—it was difficult to make phone calls both outside and inside the region. One means of communicating, however, was successful for many—text messaging. But, of course, this required a digital phone with texting capability, which not all had access to. In order to reach survivors who did not have this capability, four-wheel drive vehicles or trucks were necessary because roads and bridges were destroyed. Tr ...
Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully an.docxSusanaFurman449
Please read the description of the Religion ethnography carefully and then ask me in class to explain anything that isn't clear. You can also email me with questions.
At the end there is a short list of possible sites for the ethnography: Sikh, Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist. Shumei. There are other religions and many other sites. Bahai is an interesting religion but you have to be invited to attend by a member.
Mormon the same.
If you have access to a Santeria or similar ceremony, great!
To make the project worthwhile choose a site as different from your own background as you can.
If you have a Christian or Catholic background do not do your paper on any kind of Christian or Catholic service.
You are welcome to attend a non-English language service as long as you understand the language being used.
Be sure to okay your choice with me. Some places that don’t work for this project are Scientology, the Self Realization Fellowship, the Kabbalah Center, SGI Buddhist, Hare Krishna.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Attend a religious activity that you’re curious about and would like to explore.
You must attend a service, not simply visit a religious site.
Examples: a mosque, temple, synagogue, gurdwara.
You can probably find an interesting place of worship near where you live or work.
It’s always a good idea to phone or email the place of worship before you attend.
Research methods must include participant/observation and informal conversation. One slightly more formal interview is desirable.
Be absolutely sure to allow time to stay after the service for food, lunch, other refreshment, or informal gathering. This may well be the most important part of your experience and will enable you to answer the question, “What meaning does this place and this service have for the participants?
You must go some place you’ve never been to before. Do NOT choose your own tradition or somewhere you’re even a bit familiar with. Choose somewhere entirely new and different.
The important thing is to come to the service as an outsider, with the eyes and ears of an anthropologist and take note of everything. Use the skills you’ve learned in this class.
You can attend alone or with a co-researcher or two from the class. Best, you can be the guest(s) of a classmate or someone else you know and discuss the event with them. Invite a classmate or two to attend a service from your tradition.
Do not write about an event you attended in the past. But you can use past experiences for comparison and reflection.
It is almost never appropriate to jot down notes during a religious service. Better, write everything you remember immediately after the event. Get sufficient detail to write what anthropologist Clifford Geertz called “thick”, or rich description.
In writing your paper use terms we've discussed in class and think about connections to the reading we’ve done and films we’ve seen.

Johnson & Johnson’s Tylenol Crisis
Background
“The killer’s motives remain unknown, but his — or her, or their — technical
savvy is as chilling today as it was 30 years ago.
On Sept. 29, 1982, three people died in the Chicago area after taking
cyanide-laced Tylenol at the outset of a poisoning spree that would claim seven
lives by Oct. 1. The case has never been solved, and so the lingering question —
why? — still haunts investigators.
Food and Drug Administration officials hypothesized that the killer bought
Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules over the counter, injected cyanide into the red
half of the capsules, resealed the bottles, and sneaked them back onto the shelves
of drug and grocery stores. The Illinois attorney general, on the other hand,
suspected a disgruntled employee on Tylenol’s factory line. In either case, it was a
sophisticated and ambitious undertaking with the seemingly pathological go.

They are all about Art and Politics in Renaissance Florence Period
1. Short Paper
Street corners, guild halls, government offices, and confraternity centers contained works of art that made the city of Florence a visual jewel at precisely the time of its emergence as a European cultural leader. In shared religious and secular spaces, people from the city of Florence commissioned altarpieces, chapels, buildings, textiles, all manner of objects – at home, interior spaces were animated with smaller-scale works, such as family portraits, birth trays, decorated pieces of furniture, all of which relied on patrons, artists, and audiences working with the beauty and power of sensory experience. Like people all over Europe, viewers believed in the power of images, and they shared an understanding of the persuasiveness of art and architecture. Florentines accepted the utterly vital role that art could play as a propagator of civic, corporate, religious, political and individual identity.
Select one or two of the test case studies [that is, talk about Cosimo or Lorenzo the Magnificent or Savonarola's impact on Florence or the new Republic under Soderini] from this Module on Art and Politics in Renaissance Florence, and explore your understanding of people in Florence, who was so alive to the power and communication possibilities in works of art, objects, and spaces throughout the city and beyond.

Being the change you wish to see in the world is crucial, in my opinion. According to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, "Behavior is the mirror in which everyone exhibits their picture." My main priorities are the well-being of the team members and developing effective solutions via cooperative effort.

Life example
Working as a Management Analyst in the realm of government spending, I am frequently required to communicate with the Program Management Team of a third party firm. No collimated staff members prevent me from personally performing some of the work necessary to maintain an accurate external organization ledger. As a result, I need to be approachable, polite, and nice to my coworkers so that they would feel comfortable confiding in me and trusting me with their ideas. By consistently soliciting feedback from staff and management, I want to foster a culture of collaboration. This fosters innovation on the team and opens minds to new points of view.

Abstract
Background: Co-administration of multiple intravenous (IV) medicines down the
same lumen of an IV catheter is often necessary in the intensive care unit (ICU) while
ensuring medicine compatibility.
Aims and objectives: This study explores ICU nurses' views on the everyday practice
surrounding co-administration of multiple IV medicines down the same lumen.
Design: Qualitative study using focus group interviews.
Methods: Three focus groups were conducted with 20 ICU nurses across two hospi-
tals in the Thames Valley Critical Care Network, England. Participants' experience of
co-administration down the same lumen and means of assessing compatibility were
explored. All focus groups were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using
thematic analysis. Functional Resonance Analysis Method was used to provide a
visual representation of the co-administration process.
Results: Two key themes were identified as essential during the process of co-admin-
istration, namely, venous access and resources. Most nurses described insufficient
venous access and lack of compatibility data for commonly used medicines (eg, anal-
gesics and antibiotics) as particular challenges. Strategies such as obtaining additional
venous access, prioritizing infusions, and swapping line of infusion were used to man-
age IV administration pro.

Summary Using meta-analysis, we compare three attitudinal outcomes (i.e., job satisfaction, affective
commitment, and turnover intent), three behavioral outcomes (i.e., interpersonal deviance,
organizational deviance, and work performance), and four health-related outcomes (i.e.,
general health, depression, emotional exhaustion, and physical well being) of workplace
aggression from three different sources: Supervisors, co-workers, and outsiders. Results from
66 samples show that supervisor aggression has the strongest adverse effects across the
attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. Co-worker aggression had stronger effects than outsider
aggression on the attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, whereas there was no significant
difference between supervisor, co-worker, and outsider aggression for the majority of the
health-related outcomes. These results have implications for how workplace aggression is
conceptualized and measured, and we propose new research questions that emphasize a multi-
foci approach. Copyright # 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
I admit that, before I was bullied, I couldn’t understand why employees would shy-away from doing
anything about it. When it happened to me, I felt trapped. I felt like either no one believed me or no
one cared. This bully was my direct boss and went out of his way to make me look and feel
incompetent. . . I dreaded going to work and cried myself to sleep every night. I was afraid of
losing my job because I started to question my abilities and didn’t think I’d find work elsewhere.

Judicial OpinionsOverview After the simulation, justices writ.docxSusanaFurman449
Judicial Opinions
Overview: After the simulation, justices write judicial opinions in reaction to the oral argument, merits briefs, conference, and draft opinions as well as the facts of the case, Constitution, and case law. Justices circulate drafts so they know how their colleagues plan to rule and why, and so they can respond to one another in their final judicial opinion draft.
Instructions: You are a Supreme Court justice preparing an opinion for announcement. Read the case materials: case hypothetical, merits briefs, and judicial opinion drafts of your colleagues, and review your notes from oral argument and conference. Write a majority opinion resolving the major legal question in light of the facts of the case, Constitution, and case law, as well as all case materials: merits briefs, oral argument, and the views of your colleagues (in conference and draft opinions). Opinions must support an argument, refute counterarguments, and respond to attorneys (oral argument and/or merits briefs), and fellow justices (conference and/or draft opinions).
Opinions should contain the following five elements, in the following order:
1. an introductory statement of the nature, procedural posture, and prior result of the case;
2. a statement of the issues to be decided;
3. a statement of the material facts;
4. a discussion of the governing legal principles and resolution of the issues; and
5. the disposition and necessary instructions.
Each of these is developed further below.
Assessment: Complete opinions must support an argument, refute counterarguments, and respond to attorneys (oral argument and/or merits briefs), and fellow justices (conference and/or draft opinions). Strong opinions will be well organized, logically argued, and well supported through reference to and explanation of Supreme Court decisions and legal principles. Assessment rests on how well you make use of, identify, and explain relevant course material. It also rests on staying in character and not diverging from your justice’s political ideology and/or judicial philosophy.
Introduction
The purpose of the Introduction is to orient the reader to the case. It should state briefly what the case is about, the legal subject matter, and the result. It may also cover some or all of the following:
1. The parties: The parties should be identified, if not in the Introduction, then early in the opinion, preferably by name, and names should be used consistently throughout. (The use of legal descriptions, such as “appellant” and “appellee,” tends to be confusing, especially in multi-party cases.)
2. The procedural and jurisdictional status: relevant prior proceedings, and how the case got before the court should be outlined.
Statement of issues
The statement of issues is the cornerstone of the opinion; how the issues are formulated determines which facts are material and what legal principles govern. Judges should not be bound by the attorneys’.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. HM500: Crisis and Emergency Management
Unit 2 Discussion Question
Part 1: Topic: Out of Control Grass Fire
You are the director of emergency services for your community.
The temperature outside is over 100 degrees, the humidity is
only 17%, and the Santa Ana winds have begun to blow. At
10:15 a.m., a grass fire is reported and the local fire department
is responding. As these first units arrive on scene they realize
that the fire is out of control, and that homes are being
threatened.
The on-scene commander quickly calls for additional fire units
and for the police to begin evacuating homes that are being
threatened. By 1:30 p.m., the fire has grown 10 times its
original size and continues out of control; several houses are in
immediate danger, and all local resources are now exhausted.
What steps would you take and when would you call for mutual
aid? Additionally, at what point would you request federal
assistance? Discuss the options available to you as the director
of emergency services. Provide a thorough explanation of your
choices.
Part 2: Respond to Student #1Unit 2 Discussion - Out of Control
Grass Fire
Kathryn Ostrom posted May 14, 2021 12:28 PM
Hello Professor and Class,
Due to the fire growing 10 times its original size, my first step
would be calling for neighboring fire departments to assist in
controlling the fire and helping to evacuate residence. It is
2. important to asses which direction the wind is blowing to
determine the direction the fire will continue to go until it is put
out. If this did not at least slow the fire, this is when I would
request federal assistance. "Federal responsibility for wildfire
suppression is intended to protect lives, property, and resources
on federal lands" (Hoover, 2019). Due to the fire continuing to
grow and local response not being able to control it, to ensure
lives are protected it would be important to call for federal
assistance. They would be able to help with controlling the fire,
evacuation of residence, and additional resources for
individuals who have had to leave their homes.
Thank you,

Part 2: Respond to Student #2Unit 2 Discussion
Matthew Burdette posted May 14, 2021 11:25 PM
There are a few steps that I would take when deciding to call
for mutual aid. After assessing the situation, I would identify
the resources and agencies available to me. I can do this by
reviewing my state’s Mission Ready Package or MRP. FEMA
(2017) explained the MRP as “a specific mechanism that uses
NIMS resource typing criteria to describe expected mission
parameters and select the resources” (p. 12). This document
would provide me with the information such as a mission
statement, a description of any conditions that could affect the
situation, a description of logistics such as types of resources,
space, and money to finish the mission, and estimated costs
(FEMA, 2017).
After addressing the immediate needs of fighting the fire, itself,
and getting people out of harm’s way, I would establish shelters
to care for displaced residents and business owners. In
3. California’s back country, there are many resorts, campgrounds,
and recreational sites that would potentially need to be alerted
and evacuated. Sources of mutual aid might include the
California Department of Natural Resources, the California
Department of Parks and Recreation, the Red Cross, municipal
fire departments, and local and county EMA offices. Federal
mutual assistance at this point might come from the U.S.
Department of the Interior for assistance in any national par k
areas, and of course, the National Weather Association.
Since the Santa Ana winds are a factor in this scenario, placing
fire crews in front of the fire to contain it are going to be a
priority for issuing early alerts and completing any foreseen
evacuations in the fire’s path. The major plan of attack would
be a ground defense. According to Fovell (2002), “The winds
create turbulence and establish vertical wind shear (in which
winds exhibit substantial change in speed and/or direction with
height), both posing aviation hazards.” Fighting the fire by
aircraft would be extremely risky. I would then be able to call
in available ground crews and make the required inventories of
the resources as required by NIMS resource typing. “An
Incident Commander makes initial and ongoing assessments of
resource requirements and requests additional resources as
needed with specific guidance on exact reporting location (e.g.,
U.S. National Grid, latitude and longitude)” (FEMA, 2017, p.
13).
I would engage in other processes such as mobilizing and
demobilizing resources, developing performance standards and
metrics, developing plans for health and safety, establishing
rules of engagement, and completing necessary reports and
documentation (FEMA, 2017).
At any step, the Incident Commander could contact the governor
to request federal assistance. The governor would then request
the President of the United States to review the situation and
assign federal assistance. For a fire of this scale, the governor
might request federal funds to rebuild any homes or businesses
that were lost.

HM500 Crisis and Emergency Management
Unit 2 Assignment
For this assignment, you are the emergency manager in your
community. The city council has asked that you make a
presentation to them on the readiness of the community’s
emergency agencies to respond to a major hurricane (category 3
or greater). The city council wants to know the processes you
will follow to enlist other cities, counties, the state, or the
federal government if needed during this type of emergency.
In your presentation identify, the resources that are available
within your community; assets available throughout neighboring
cities, the county, state, and the federal governments; and
infrastructure organizations such as, public utilities, hospitals,
public health, etc. Identify three or more private sector
resources that might be required during the emergency. Use the
internet to research the resources available in your city, state,
and federal governments.
Then distinguish the roles of all of the organizations identified,
and break down the specific needs that each organization will
fulfill based on an emergency involving a hurricane (category 3
or greater). Discuss how each organization identified will
respond to the hurricane both independently and in
collaboration with the other organizations you have identified.
5. Your presentation should be 15 slides in length (excluding title
slide and references slide).
This assignment will require outside research. Use at least two
credible sources beyond the text material and discuss how you
evaluated the credibility of the resources used. You may consult
the Purdue Global Library, the internet, the textbook, other
course material, and any other outside resources in supporting
your task, using proper citations in APA style.
Directions
· Your 15 slide requirement is excluding your title,

Unit 2 Discussion Question
Part 1: Topic/Persuasive Essays: Take a Stance
Based on the specific topic you chose from the four options in
Unit 1, (The Death Penalty) write your preliminary thesis
statement and post it to the Discussion Board. Remember that a
thesis statement is a debatable point or claim. What debatable
point or claim are you going to make about your topic for your
persuasive essay? State that claim in the form of a single
sentence.
After you have posted your debatable claim, choose two of your
classmates’ preliminary statements and take a stance that is
counter to each of their claims.
Offer a one-sentence counterargument, refuting the basic claim
of your classmates’ thesis statement. Keep in mind as you
complete this exercise that a true thesis statement is debatable
and there are any number of possible counterclaims that could
be used to challenge any thesis.
This will help you and your fellow students to identify areas
that you will need to address when defending your thesis
statement in your persuasive essay.
Please note: You are not required to respond to any of the
counterarguments that may be posted on your discussion about
your thesis statement. The counterarguments that may be posted
are meant to help you foresee some of the areas that you will
need to cover to provide a successful defense of your thesis
7. statement in your persuasive essay.
In conclusion, keep in mind that when you take a stance, you
are engaging in a polite debate designed to offer your
classmates constructive ideas for consideration.

Death Penalty
In the U.S,United States individual states have their laws
concerning the death penalty for
violation of state laws. Reports indicate that the death penalty
was first exercised in the U.S in
1608. Some of the prominent people who have been executed in
the U.S. since the death penalty
9. was exercised include Captain George Kendall, Thomas Bird,
Mary Surratt, Julius, and Ethel
Rosenberg. From the onset of the death penalty as capital
punishment, there has been a heated
debate on the laws regarding the death penalty and how
offenders accused of capital crimes,
murder, or treason are handled in courts in the U.S. Some
sources have argued in support of the
current death penalty laws, while some have recommended
adjustments to the laws. In the
United States, the death penalty has been in existence since the
1970s (Broughton, 2017).
Reports show that over 8500 people have been executed in the
U.S for criminals such as treason,
murder, rape, and robbery with violence since the 1970s.
Capital punishment is considered legal
punishment to alleviate first-degree murder in the United States.
However, there are arguments
that there is not enough evidence to guarantee murder as a form
of punishment. This paper will
present arguments on the need to abolish the death penalty in
the United States. Some of the
arguments that will form the basis of this discussion include
causes of death sentence to families,
10. the equitability of the process, and the validity and credibility
of evidence used to convict the
offenders.
According to Broughton (2017), the death penalty should be
abolished because it causes
families' trauma. He further argues that capital punishment
causes trauma, stigma, and grief in
convicted individuals' families. Broughton (2017) argues that
“When an individual enters the
death row, family members undergo extensive trauma, stigma,
and grief." The survey conducted
by Garrett, Jakubow & Desai (2017) on 50 families of offenders
convicted of the death penalty

to determine challenges they face found that 30 families
undergo traumatic situations, ten
families suffer from stigma, and 25 suffer from grief. According
to the survey, the death penalty
has adverse effects on families, and it should be abolished to
protect families from these
sufferings. The reports tabled by the American Psychiatric
Association showed that families of
individuals convicted of a death sentence are more associated
with mental illnesses. The report
showed that five percent of mental illnesses recorded in the U.S
are from families of individuals
on a death sentence. Based on these arguments, there has been a
move to abolish the death
12. sentence because it subjects families to trauma, stigma, and
grief.
There are claims that the death sentence is administered
unequally. The Garrett, Jakubow
& Desa (2017) report shows that the death sentence targets
minority groups. Racial profiling
makes the Blacks experience unequal administration of death
sentences in terms of the
magnitude of the trials they are taken to determine the cases.
Desai & Garrett (2018) reported a
study that concluded that “black defendants convicted of killing
white victims were executed at a
rate 20 times greater than white defendants convicted of killing
Black victims.” This allegation
aligns with the findings of Desai & and Garrett (2018), which
shows that Blacks accused of
killing whites through stand-your-ground principles are 82
times more likely to be convicted
than whites who are charged with killing Blacks for self-
defence principles. The stand-your-
ground law has been severally reported to favour whites over
blacks, which leads to blacks' high
conviction with a death sentence than whites. The unfair
administration of the death sentence is
13. an indication that the death penalty should be abolished.
The analysis of race and the death penalty shows that the death
penalty promotes racism.
Garrett (2017) indicated that most cases involving the death
penalty have a pattern of either race
of victim or race of the defendant. Garrett, (2017) has shown
that judges are biased when

administering death penalty sentencing. According to Garrett
(2017), the death penalty should be
abolished because criminal justice does not administer justice
equally. The death penalty
promotes racial discrimination; hence it should be abolished
because it is not administered
equally.
14. Garrett (2017) argues that minority groups are side-lined
in the ruling on the death penalty
regardless of the evidence they present. Garrett (2017) has
shown that over 80 percent of people
on death row were convicted in cases involving white victims.
Based on these allegations, there
has been a move to criticize the death penalty for overlooking
evidence.
Garrett (2017) argues argued that prosecutors determine the
cases that end up getting death
sentencing regardless of the evidence's magnitude. Some
allegations have been rooted in the fact
that influential people are protected from the death sentence.
The move to criticize death
sentencing is based on the unfair administration of the process
on race.
The opponents have argued that the death penalty has
reduced crime in the U.S since there
are over 2500 prisoners who are currently facing execution. The
level of capital offenses,
including murder, robbery with violence, rape, and treason, has
greatly declined in the United
States. The death penalty in the USA United States found that
crime has greatly declined in
15. hotspot areas due to the fear of the death penalty for capital
offenses. These allegations have
shown that a reduced number of criminals have led to fewer
offenses in society, making society
safe.
According to Amnesty International, the death penalty plays a
minor role in deterring
criminals because it increases the probability of crime in society
since its aim is not to restore or
rehabilitate offenders.

16. The ideas presented in this paper, including the effect of the
death penalty on families,
unfair administration, and lack of emphasis on the presented
evidence, show that the death
penalty should be abandoned. The death penalty promotes
racism and mental illnesses to
defendants and plaintiffs; therefore, it should be abolished.
Besides, it undermines democracy by
promoting racial discrimination. The death penalty has not
achieved the desired outcome of
deterring crime; hence it should be abolished.
