The National Response Framework (NRF) establishes the fundamental mission for emergency response in the United States, including engaging partnerships, tiered responses, and unified efforts. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) guides government and private sector organizations on allocating resources and coordinating response efforts for any type of national emergency. The Incident Command System (ICS) provides an organizational structure and tools to help all response agencies work together efficiently and precisely during emergencies. Effective communication and coordination between responding entities is also important for clear understanding of roles and responsibilities.

Execut ive Summary
The National Response Framework (NRF) provides foundational emergency management doctrine for
how the Nation responds to all types of incidents. The NRF is built on scalable, flexible, and adaptable
concepts identified in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to align key roles and
responsibilities across the Nation. The structures, roles, and responsibilities described in this
Framework can be partially or fully implemented in the context of a threat or hazard, in anticipation of
a significant event, or in response to an incident. Implementation of the structures and procedures
described herein allows for a scaled response, delivery of specific resources and capabilities, and a
level of coordination appropriate to each incident.
Responding to disasters and emergencies requires the cooperation of a variety of organizations; the
larger or more complex the incident, the greater the number and variety of organizations that must
respond. Think of a residential fire: Firefighters are leading the charge; public works may be on scene
providing traffic control; police are providing security; emergency medical services personnel are
triaging, transporting, and redistributing injured to local hospitals; and a local nonprofit or voluntary
organization (e.g., American Red Cross and Salvation Army) may be on hand to assist displaced
residents. For large disasters, such as major hurricanes or earthquakes, the incident complexity is
increased as others—such as states or tribes and, ultimately, the Federal Government—become
involved. Businesses, voluntary organizations, and other elements of the private sector are also key
stakeholders, providing the essential services that must be restored following an incident. The NRF
provides the foundation for how these organizations coordinate, integrate, and unify their response.
The unprecedented scale of recent disasters has spurred continued innovation in response operations
and highlighted the need for further progress to build resilient capabilities to respond to disasters of
increasing frequency and magnitude. This fourth edition of the NRF embraces lessons-learned from
those disasters and shares emerging best practices.
Since publication of the third edition of the NRF in 2016, disaster response operations have
underscored the paramount importance of sustaining essential community lifelines. The Framework
defines community lifelines as those services that enable the continuous operation of critical
government and business functions and are essential to human health and safety or economic security.
If disrupted, rapid stabilization of community lifelines is essential to restoring a sense of normalcy.

Lesson
Week Two – The National Preparedness System
In March of 2011, the executive branch of the federal government issued Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 8. This directive described how the nation will prepare for those threats and hazards that constitute the greatest risk to national security. PPD 8 was followed in the fall of that same year with the publication of the National Preparedness Goal (which was updated in 2015), and then a month later with the National Preparedness System (NPS). Similar to the term “risk” that was focused upon in our first lesson, “prepare” or “preparedness” are key terms as well as it relates to the underlying principles of this entire course. In order to properly examine the National Preparedness System, these terms as used within the context of the NPS must be understood.
As previously noted, we directed attention upon the notion of risk last week. We should remain cognizant that risk refers to the overall consequences represented by various types of threats and hazards. The analysis of risk rests within an all-hazards system and approach, wherein all dangers to a community are examined. In addition, these dangers are prioritized, not on preconceived notions of importance, but upon the actual, detrimental impact they have on a community. Acts of terrorism and of other man-made incidents of violence must be considered alongside natural and technological hazards as well; prioritized in a manner where preparedness and mitigation efforts can be appropriately discussed, formulated, and implemented. In essence, through its various components, the National Preparedness System offers a very consistent and dependable methodology that can be applied to a host of activities; those that range from aiding the decision making process to identifying and allocating resources (DHS, 2011).
So just as the NPS requires us to take a broad view of those elements that determine risk, it similarly requires us to take a wide-ranging view of preparedness as well. In essence, preparedness refers to a community’s ability to respond immediately to a disastrous event (remember, disaster events range from acts of terrorism to industrial accidents to natural disasters). Preparedness also refers to the community’s ability to recover from the event; and preparedness refers to all of those actions taken by the community to either prevent the event, or to mitigate the consequences of that event.
Within the National Preparedness System, the National Preparedness Goal (2015) defines the system’s measure of success as “A secure and resilient nation with capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respon ...

Post 1The whole community” approach as described in the Natanhcrowley
Post 1
The “whole community” approach as described in the National Preparedness Goal refers to the shared responsibility amongst governmental, non-governmental, public and private sector entities, communities and individuals to work together in order to ensure national security and promote resilient communities (FEMA.gov, 2015, p. 1-2). Meaning that individuals must not simply rely on the federal, state or local governments to ensure thier safety and security, but individuals must take thier own safety seriously. Furthermore, the problem does not go away with more funding. Appropriate guidance, laws, education, training, and equipment all play significant roles in national preparedness.
The concept of “whole community” is important when viewing both short- and long-term effects that natural and man-made disasters can have on a population. Hurricane Katrina is a perfect example of the lack of a "whole community approach" resulting in improper risk analysis and poor emergency planning. The substandard response and recovery efforts at the federal, state and community-level contributed to almost every issue negatively impacting this incident. Ultimately, there was no precedent for a natural disaster of that magnitude and community leaders and residents found themselves unprepared. There was no distinct chain of command to delegate resources for recovery and rescue operations. Breakdowns in coordination from the federal level to the local level were apparent. “State and local authorities understood the devastation but, due to destruction of infrastructure and response capabilities, lacked the ability to communicate with each other and coordinate a response, struggled to perform responsibilities such as the rescue of citizens stranded by the rising floodwaters, provision of law enforcement, and evacuation of the remaining population of New Orleans (Townsend, 2006, ch. 5).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency leads the charge of the whole community approach to emergency management with the goal of facilitating a culture that shifts primary responsibility from the federal government managing disaster recovery to a community-centric approach. Creating crosstalk between emergency management stakeholders, decision makers, and communities, facilitates exchange of information and best practices that can be shared between communities that have the same hazards and threats. Additionally, community leaders are able to form a shared understanding of thier respective needs and capabilities, leverage resources, strengthen infrastructure, forge more effective prevention, protection, response and recovery while increasing preparedness and resiliency across the community and the nation (FEMA.gov, 2011, p. 3).
Fostering a culture of shared responsibility places responsibility of emergency management on governments thereby sharing that responsibility amongst non-governmental, public and private sector agencies, and individual persons with the community ...
Response and recovery are the final two phases of disaster ma.docxwilfredoa1
Response and recovery are the final two phases of disaster management. As an agency, I would tell the chief that these phases are just as important as mitigation and preparedness and have subcomponents that need to be addressed. Romans 8:28 states, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” I would advise the chief that in response and recovery the purpose is to save lives, which requires working together for the good of the people. Working together means with other agencies to include federal, state and local, as well as working with the stakeholders of the community. Coming together in these phases is our purpose to save lives.
As a department, I would instruct the chief that we need to be informed and follow the procedures of the national response framework (NRF), the national incident management systems (NIMS), and the incident command system (ICS). Training needs to be held to understand how NIMS and ICS work and are implemented in response to a disaster. All members of the police department and especially supervisors need to train and be able to follow ICS. This will prepare the department for responding. The chief should encourage redundancy in response and recovery. According to Nemeth (2016), redundancy means that the department will have multiple systems, subsystems, assets, or processes in case one fails, or one is lost (p. 548). It is important to have redundancy because Murphy’s law plays into effect in the most serious of times, and having a backup system can help reduce saving lives.
In recovery, resiliency is also very important. According to FEMA’s document on the national disaster recovery framework, “Resilience is the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. Resilience includes the ability to withstand and recover from deliberate attacks, accidents, or naturally occurring threats or incidents” (p. 8). The department should research and find resources that are available in our area to help in recovery. Leaning on the stakeholders in the community to help with recovery is a necessary component, as taking on this task alone will be difficult. The recovery phase includes “the reconstitution of government operations and services, housing and services for displaced families and individuals; and replenishment of stockpiles” (Lindsay, 2012, p. 3). The community the department serves must work together with the agency to be successful in this phase. I would instruct the chief the importance of community relations to help with recovery as they will be able to provide resources and possibly help cut down on the budget required to provide services.
Continuity of operations planning is another component that requires training and budgeting to accomplish, but is a fairly simple concept. The phases within the continuity of operations is readiness and .

What’s New in the National Response Framework
New Name:
The
National Response Framework
supersedes the
National Response Plan
and more adequately serves as a guide to how the nation conducts incident response. The new name better aligns the document with its intent.
Purpose
: To ensure that government executives, private sector, nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident.
Broader Scope:
The
Framework
provides structures for implementing national-level policy and operational coordination for domestic incident response. In this document, incidents include actual or potential emergencies or all-hazard events that range from accidents and natural disasters to actual or potential terrorist attacks. Such incidents range from modest events wholly contained within a single community to others that are catastrophic in nature and national in their scope of consequences.
Wider Audience:
The
Framework
is intended for executive leadership and emergency management practitioners at all levels of government, as well as private sector, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
Integrated Key Concepts:
An effective, unified national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities, with States having the primary responsibility for public health and welfare of its citizens. Five elemental principles of operation constitute national response doctrine:
Engaged partnerships
Tiered response
Scalable, flexible and adaptable operational capabilities
Unity of effort through unified command
Readiness to act
Expanded Focus on Partnerships:
The
Framework
states that an effective national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities. This approach affirms that local communities, tribes and States have primary responsibility for the safety and security of their citizens; that local leaders build the foundation for response and that resilient communities begin with prepared individuals and families.
Updated Planning Section:
The
Framework
contains a section that focuses on the critical importance of planning. The intent is to lay the groundwork to:
Link planning, preparedness, resource and asset management processes, and data in a virtual environment;
Prioritize plans and planning efforts to best support homeland security strategies and allow seamless transition to execution; and
Provide parallel and concurrent planning at all levels of government.
Improved Annexes and Appendixes:
The Emergency Support Functions and Support Annexes have been updated and remain an integral part of the
Framework
. The Incident Annexes will be revised a.

Integrating Emergency and Disaster Planning
A critical point that is often over-
looked in emergency management
is that an emergency does not
begin or end with the incident
itself. How a community responds
and recovers from a disaster
depends on proper planning,
preparation, and integration of all
facets of government and of emer-
gency response into our emergency
operations plans (EOPs).
When we think of how a city might
respond to an emergency, we often
focus on firefighters, medics, and
police. They are all an important
part of emergency response, but
they are only a part. Just as criti-
cal are public works, community
services, finance, and administra-
tion. An integrated plan must
include all aspects of government
and how those aspects interrelate.
As we saw with Hurricane Katrina,
the disaster itself is only a small
part of an emergency. The logistics
of how you evacuate citizens, how
you support their needs, and how
you keep track of those citizens
and their needs are critical. How
services are restored, temporary
shelter is supplied, and everything
is funded must be planned for. An
integrated plan must also include
citizen preparedness, continuity of
government (COG), and continuity
of operations (COOP). It should be
coordinated with other local plans
as well as with regional and state
plans. It should encompass part-
nering with nongovernmental
agencies (NGOs) and preposi-
tioned contracts. It must consider
planning for citizens and animals.
It must embrace public facilities,
critical records, and possible relo-
cation. It is also critical that in
developing this plan, elected offi-
cials have a clear understanding of
how all the parts fit together.
Elected officials, especially those
from small communities (where
they are often employed part–
time), have myriad issues to face
every day. But one fact remains:
during a disaster, who are the citi-
zens going to look to for answers?
It is the duty of elected officials to
have a clear understanding of how
the community will respond. It is
also critical to understand the
process that emergency operations
plans present in order to work
smoothly with the EOP and not
create additional problems.
During a disaster, we elected offi-
cials still have a critical role to
play, but we are not necessarily
going to be the ones in charge.
Emergency management is not an
area where we can afford to let
egos get in the way.
A valuable resource we all have in
our communities is citizens who
want to help. However, if untrained,
these well-meaning citizens can
compound problems and make an
emergency even more critical and
dangerous. Rather than take a pass
on using these volunteers, offering
citizen-based training should be a
focus in the preparation portion of a
plan. Community Emergency Re-
sponse Training (CERT), Map your
Neighborhood (MYN), neighborhood
emergency teams, and many othe.
Introduction The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the the.docxBHANU281672
Introduction
The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the “the provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected” (UNISDR, 2009, p. 25). The primary focus of the disaster response is on immediate and short-term needs. Some response actions may extend well into the recovery stage. Since January 2008, FEMA introduced the National Response Framework (NRF) which intends “to ensure that the government executives, private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand the domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident” (Haddow et al, 2014, p. 176).
The different definitions highlight the importance of collaborative work in the response while providing the required and coordinated assistance to save lives. In the aftermath of the 9/11 events, the changes made in the emergency management system in the United States has led to the issuances of several Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs) on matters pertaining to homeland security. One of the directives is the HSPD-5 Management of Domestic Incidents which establishes a single, comprehensive National Incident Management System (
NIMS
) and the National Response Framework (
NRF
).
The next paragraphs will give a short description of the HSPD-5. Then, a position of this presidential directive on its potential impact will complement the discussion.
Description Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5
The emergency response responsibilities in the United States first belong to the local entities, being local and tribal communities or the local governments. The request for support is going beyond the local level towards higher levels such as state or federal levels, only if the local capacities to handle the crisis are completely overwhelmed or exceeded.
Actually, when the President Bush issued the HSPD-5 in 2003, his purpose was to enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system. The management system covered the prevention, preparation, response, and recovery of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The HSPD-5 was also aiming at allowing all levels of government throughout the nation to work efficiently and effectively together.
Possible impacts of the HSPD-5
The establishment and the implementation of the HSPD-5 through the NIMS and NRF (previously national response plan) have its pro and cons.
Positive impacts
Further empowerment of state and local authorities:
Despite the perceivable centralization of power Federal level, the directive clearly recognizes the primary roles and responsibilities of State and local authorities for the m ...

Assignment Brief
Conduct an analysis of the Case: Findings of the Inquest into the death of Albert Eric Bruce Biffin addressing the three sections as outlined.
In the report of the Inquest into the death of Albert Eric Bruce Biffin1 the Coroner identified the medical cause of death as complications of an incarcerated umbilical hernia. It was known that Mr Biffin had a long medical history however was still relatively independent in his residential care environment. Mr Biffin died on February 27, 2013 at the age of 86.
A number of registered nurses, were involved in Mr Biffin’s care in the period February 24, 2013 to February 27, 2013. The role of the assistant in nursing, the endorsed enrolled nurse and the registered nurse were key within the chain of events that transpired and affected the deterioration and death of Mr Biffin.

Post 1The whole community” approach as described in the Natanhcrowley
Post 1
The “whole community” approach as described in the National Preparedness Goal refers to the shared responsibility amongst governmental, non-governmental, public and private sector entities, communities and individuals to work together in order to ensure national security and promote resilient communities (FEMA.gov, 2015, p. 1-2). Meaning that individuals must not simply rely on the federal, state or local governments to ensure thier safety and security, but individuals must take thier own safety seriously. Furthermore, the problem does not go away with more funding. Appropriate guidance, laws, education, training, and equipment all play significant roles in national preparedness.
The concept of “whole community” is important when viewing both short- and long-term effects that natural and man-made disasters can have on a population. Hurricane Katrina is a perfect example of the lack of a "whole community approach" resulting in improper risk analysis and poor emergency planning. The substandard response and recovery efforts at the federal, state and community-level contributed to almost every issue negatively impacting this incident. Ultimately, there was no precedent for a natural disaster of that magnitude and community leaders and residents found themselves unprepared. There was no distinct chain of command to delegate resources for recovery and rescue operations. Breakdowns in coordination from the federal level to the local level were apparent. “State and local authorities understood the devastation but, due to destruction of infrastructure and response capabilities, lacked the ability to communicate with each other and coordinate a response, struggled to perform responsibilities such as the rescue of citizens stranded by the rising floodwaters, provision of law enforcement, and evacuation of the remaining population of New Orleans (Townsend, 2006, ch. 5).
The Federal Emergency Management Agency leads the charge of the whole community approach to emergency management with the goal of facilitating a culture that shifts primary responsibility from the federal government managing disaster recovery to a community-centric approach. Creating crosstalk between emergency management stakeholders, decision makers, and communities, facilitates exchange of information and best practices that can be shared between communities that have the same hazards and threats. Additionally, community leaders are able to form a shared understanding of thier respective needs and capabilities, leverage resources, strengthen infrastructure, forge more effective prevention, protection, response and recovery while increasing preparedness and resiliency across the community and the nation (FEMA.gov, 2011, p. 3).
Fostering a culture of shared responsibility places responsibility of emergency management on governments thereby sharing that responsibility amongst non-governmental, public and private sector agencies, and individual persons with the community ...
Response and recovery are the final two phases of disaster ma.docxwilfredoa1
Response and recovery are the final two phases of disaster management. As an agency, I would tell the chief that these phases are just as important as mitigation and preparedness and have subcomponents that need to be addressed. Romans 8:28 states, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” I would advise the chief that in response and recovery the purpose is to save lives, which requires working together for the good of the people. Working together means with other agencies to include federal, state and local, as well as working with the stakeholders of the community. Coming together in these phases is our purpose to save lives.
As a department, I would instruct the chief that we need to be informed and follow the procedures of the national response framework (NRF), the national incident management systems (NIMS), and the incident command system (ICS). Training needs to be held to understand how NIMS and ICS work and are implemented in response to a disaster. All members of the police department and especially supervisors need to train and be able to follow ICS. This will prepare the department for responding. The chief should encourage redundancy in response and recovery. According to Nemeth (2016), redundancy means that the department will have multiple systems, subsystems, assets, or processes in case one fails, or one is lost (p. 548). It is important to have redundancy because Murphy’s law plays into effect in the most serious of times, and having a backup system can help reduce saving lives.
In recovery, resiliency is also very important. According to FEMA’s document on the national disaster recovery framework, “Resilience is the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. Resilience includes the ability to withstand and recover from deliberate attacks, accidents, or naturally occurring threats or incidents” (p. 8). The department should research and find resources that are available in our area to help in recovery. Leaning on the stakeholders in the community to help with recovery is a necessary component, as taking on this task alone will be difficult. The recovery phase includes “the reconstitution of government operations and services, housing and services for displaced families and individuals; and replenishment of stockpiles” (Lindsay, 2012, p. 3). The community the department serves must work together with the agency to be successful in this phase. I would instruct the chief the importance of community relations to help with recovery as they will be able to provide resources and possibly help cut down on the budget required to provide services.
Continuity of operations planning is another component that requires training and budgeting to accomplish, but is a fairly simple concept. The phases within the continuity of operations is readiness and .

What’s New in the National Response Framework
New Name:
The
National Response Framework
supersedes the
National Response Plan
and more adequately serves as a guide to how the nation conducts incident response. The new name better aligns the document with its intent.
Purpose
: To ensure that government executives, private sector, nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident.
Broader Scope:
The
Framework
provides structures for implementing national-level policy and operational coordination for domestic incident response. In this document, incidents include actual or potential emergencies or all-hazard events that range from accidents and natural disasters to actual or potential terrorist attacks. Such incidents range from modest events wholly contained within a single community to others that are catastrophic in nature and national in their scope of consequences.
Wider Audience:
The
Framework
is intended for executive leadership and emergency management practitioners at all levels of government, as well as private sector, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
Integrated Key Concepts:
An effective, unified national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities, with States having the primary responsibility for public health and welfare of its citizens. Five elemental principles of operation constitute national response doctrine:
Engaged partnerships
Tiered response
Scalable, flexible and adaptable operational capabilities
Unity of effort through unified command
Readiness to act
Expanded Focus on Partnerships:
The
Framework
states that an effective national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities. This approach affirms that local communities, tribes and States have primary responsibility for the safety and security of their citizens; that local leaders build the foundation for response and that resilient communities begin with prepared individuals and families.
Updated Planning Section:
The
Framework
contains a section that focuses on the critical importance of planning. The intent is to lay the groundwork to:
Link planning, preparedness, resource and asset management processes, and data in a virtual environment;
Prioritize plans and planning efforts to best support homeland security strategies and allow seamless transition to execution; and
Provide parallel and concurrent planning at all levels of government.
Improved Annexes and Appendixes:
The Emergency Support Functions and Support Annexes have been updated and remain an integral part of the
Framework
. The Incident Annexes will be revised a.

Integrating Emergency and Disaster Planning
A critical point that is often over-
looked in emergency management
is that an emergency does not
begin or end with the incident
itself. How a community responds
and recovers from a disaster
depends on proper planning,
preparation, and integration of all
facets of government and of emer-
gency response into our emergency
operations plans (EOPs).
When we think of how a city might
respond to an emergency, we often
focus on firefighters, medics, and
police. They are all an important
part of emergency response, but
they are only a part. Just as criti-
cal are public works, community
services, finance, and administra-
tion. An integrated plan must
include all aspects of government
and how those aspects interrelate.
As we saw with Hurricane Katrina,
the disaster itself is only a small
part of an emergency. The logistics
of how you evacuate citizens, how
you support their needs, and how
you keep track of those citizens
and their needs are critical. How
services are restored, temporary
shelter is supplied, and everything
is funded must be planned for. An
integrated plan must also include
citizen preparedness, continuity of
government (COG), and continuity
of operations (COOP). It should be
coordinated with other local plans
as well as with regional and state
plans. It should encompass part-
nering with nongovernmental
agencies (NGOs) and preposi-
tioned contracts. It must consider
planning for citizens and animals.
It must embrace public facilities,
critical records, and possible relo-
cation. It is also critical that in
developing this plan, elected offi-
cials have a clear understanding of
how all the parts fit together.
Elected officials, especially those
from small communities (where
they are often employed part–
time), have myriad issues to face
every day. But one fact remains:
during a disaster, who are the citi-
zens going to look to for answers?
It is the duty of elected officials to
have a clear understanding of how
the community will respond. It is
also critical to understand the
process that emergency operations
plans present in order to work
smoothly with the EOP and not
create additional problems.
During a disaster, we elected offi-
cials still have a critical role to
play, but we are not necessarily
going to be the ones in charge.
Emergency management is not an
area where we can afford to let
egos get in the way.
A valuable resource we all have in
our communities is citizens who
want to help. However, if untrained,
these well-meaning citizens can
compound problems and make an
emergency even more critical and
dangerous. Rather than take a pass
on using these volunteers, offering
citizen-based training should be a
focus in the preparation portion of a
plan. Community Emergency Re-
sponse Training (CERT), Map your
Neighborhood (MYN), neighborhood
emergency teams, and many othe.
Introduction The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the the.docxBHANU281672
Introduction
The UNISDR defines the emergency response as the “the provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected” (UNISDR, 2009, p. 25). The primary focus of the disaster response is on immediate and short-term needs. Some response actions may extend well into the recovery stage. Since January 2008, FEMA introduced the National Response Framework (NRF) which intends “to ensure that the government executives, private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners across the nation understand the domestic incident response roles, responsibilities and relationships in order to respond more effectively to any type of incident” (Haddow et al, 2014, p. 176).
The different definitions highlight the importance of collaborative work in the response while providing the required and coordinated assistance to save lives. In the aftermath of the 9/11 events, the changes made in the emergency management system in the United States has led to the issuances of several Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs) on matters pertaining to homeland security. One of the directives is the HSPD-5 Management of Domestic Incidents which establishes a single, comprehensive National Incident Management System (
NIMS
) and the National Response Framework (
NRF
).
The next paragraphs will give a short description of the HSPD-5. Then, a position of this presidential directive on its potential impact will complement the discussion.
Description Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5
The emergency response responsibilities in the United States first belong to the local entities, being local and tribal communities or the local governments. The request for support is going beyond the local level towards higher levels such as state or federal levels, only if the local capacities to handle the crisis are completely overwhelmed or exceeded.
Actually, when the President Bush issued the HSPD-5 in 2003, his purpose was to enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system. The management system covered the prevention, preparation, response, and recovery of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The HSPD-5 was also aiming at allowing all levels of government throughout the nation to work efficiently and effectively together.
Possible impacts of the HSPD-5
The establishment and the implementation of the HSPD-5 through the NIMS and NRF (previously national response plan) have its pro and cons.
Positive impacts
Further empowerment of state and local authorities:
Despite the perceivable centralization of power Federal level, the directive clearly recognizes the primary roles and responsibilities of State and local authorities for the m ...

Assignment Brief
Conduct an analysis of the Case: Findings of the Inquest into the death of Albert Eric Bruce Biffin addressing the three sections as outlined.
In the report of the Inquest into the death of Albert Eric Bruce Biffin1 the Coroner identified the medical cause of death as complications of an incarcerated umbilical hernia. It was known that Mr Biffin had a long medical history however was still relatively independent in his residential care environment. Mr Biffin died on February 27, 2013 at the age of 86.
A number of registered nurses, were involved in Mr Biffin’s care in the period February 24, 2013 to February 27, 2013. The role of the assistant in nursing, the endorsed enrolled nurse and the registered nurse were key within the chain of events that transpired and affected the deterioration and death of Mr Biffin.
In a chapter provided for you on DIRECT readings on the study desk for NUR3020, McDonald and Then (2014) discuss that while individuals can make errors, it also may be difficult to attribute to one person. (McDonald & Then, 2014, p. 134).

Transforming Students’ Motivation to Learn Carol S. DweckWinter 2008
This is an exciting time for our brains. More and more research is showing that our brains change constantly with learning and experience and that this takes place throughout our lives.
Does this have implications for students' motivation and learning? It certainly does. In my research in collaboration with my graduate students, we have shown that what students believe about their brains — whether they see their intelligence as something that's fixed or something that can grow and change — has profound effects on their motivation, learning, and school achievement (Dweck, 2006). These different beliefs, or mindsets, create different psychological worlds: one in which students are afraid of challenges and devastated by setbacks, and one in which students relish challenges and are resilient in the face of setbacks.
How do these mindsets work? How are the mindsets communicated t.

Nur 6053. Mod2 Wk3 Assignment: Developing Organizational Policies and Practices
Competing needs arise within any organization as employees seek to meet their targets and leaders seek to meet company goals. As a leader, successful management of these goals requires establishing priorities and allocating resources accordingly.
Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients are often in conflict. Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assisting personnel, and employer reductions of education benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs in practice.
Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and inaction. In this Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you began work on in Module 1 by addressing competing needs within your organization.
To Prepare:
· Review the national healthcare issue/stressor you examined in your Assignment for Module 1, and review the analysis of the healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
· Identify and review two evidence-based scholarly resources that focus on proposed policies/practices to apply to your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
· Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post regarding competing needs.
The Assignment (4-5 pages):
Developing Organizational Policies and Practices
Add a section to the paper you submitted in Module 1. The new section should address the following:
· Identify and describe at least two competing needs impacting your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
· Describe a relevant policy or practice in your organization that may influence your selected healthcare issue/stressor.
· Critique the policy for ethical considerations, and explain the policy’s strengths and challenges in promoting ethics.
· Recommend one or more policy or practice changes designed to balance the competing needs of resources, workers, and patients, while addressing any ethical shortcomings of the existing policies. Be specific and provide examples.
· Cite evidence that informs the healthcare issue/stressor and/or the policies, and provide two scholarly resources in support of your policy or practice recommendations.

ISP Instructions
Use this form to develop your Individual Success Plan (ISP) for NRS-493, the Professional Capstone and Practicum course. An individual success plan maps out what you, the RN-to-BSN student, needs to accomplish in order to be successful as you work through this course and complete your overall program of study. You will also share this with your preceptor at the beginning and end of this course so that he or she will know what you need to accomplish.
In this ISP, you will identify all of the objectives and assignments relating to the 100 direct clinical practice experience hours and the 25 indirect clinical practice hours you need to complete by the end of this course. Use this template to specify the date by which you will complete each assignment. Your plan should include a self-assessment of how you met all applicable GCU RN-to-BSN Domains & Competencies (see Appendix A). General Requirements
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of each assignment as it pertains to deliverables due in this course:
· Use the Individual Success Plan to develop a personal plan for completing your clinical practice experience hours and self-assess how you will meet the GCU RN-to-BSN University Mission Critical Competencies and the Programmatic Domains & Competencies (Appendix A) related to that course.
Show all of the major deliverables in the course, the topic/course objectives that apply to each deliverable, and lastly, align each deliverable to the applicable University Mission Critical Competencies and the course-specific Domains and Competencies (see Appendix A).
Completing your ISP does not earn clinical practice experience hours, nor does telephone conference time, or time spent with your preceptor.
· Within the Individual Success Plan, ensure you identify all graded course assignments and indirect clinical assignments listed in the table on the next page.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
NRFThe National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide to how.docx
1. NRF
The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide to how the
nation responds to all types of disasters and emergencies.
The NRF is used to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and
recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other
emergencies.
The NRF also established a fundamental mission to (1) engage
partnerships; (2) tiered response; (3) flexible and adaptable
operational capability; (4) unity of effort through unified
command; and (5) readiness to act.
The governor coordinates state resources and provides the
guidance for all types of incidents.
NIMS
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) focus is to
better improve the nation's response to emergencies. Its goal is
a better system that can more efficiently allocate resources in
the event of a disaster and facilitate cooperation among diverse
entities and agencies.
NIMS guides all levels of government, non-governmental
organizations (NGO), and the private sector to work together to
prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from
incidents.
2. A comprehensive, nationwide, systematic approach to incident
management, including the command and coordination of
incidents, resource management, and information management
A set of concepts and principles for all threats, hazards, and
events across all mission areas (Prevention, Protection,
Mitigation, Response, Recovery)
Scalable, flexible, and adaptable; used for all incidents, from
day-to-day to large-scale
Standard resource management procedures that enable
coordination among different jurisdictions or organizations
ICS
Management system designed to enable effective and efficient
domestic incident management by integrating a combination of
facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and
communications operating within a common organizational
structure.
Structured to facilitate activities in five major functional areas:
command, operations, planning, logistics, Intelligence &
Investigations, finance and administration.
Purpose of enabling incident managers to identify the key
concerns associated with the incident often under urgent
conditions without sacrificing attention to any component of the
command system.
The National Response Framework (NRF) is the guide
that established the fundamental mission to engage partnerships,
3. tiered responses, and unit efforts. In short, the NRF is
responsible for all the planning and preparedness that goes into
the support of the communities.
The National Incident Management System (NIMS)
guides the government officials and organizations in the private
sector regarding the necessary recourses for the emergencies
they are faced with daily. The system is set-up to be resourceful
towards any kind of national emergency event, whether it’s to
mitigate, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from.
The Incident Command System (ICS) assist in bring the
necessary tools and plans of action to the major areas in an
emergency location. ICS provides a way for all organizations
involved in work together in a manner that allows them to
respond to emergencies more efficiently and with an increased
level of precision (Gregory, 2015).
I believe all these documents are important to
emergency planning. However, it is equally important for each
entity to communicate the duties/functions to each other,
therefore, eliminating any confusion regarding the duties of
each agency.
1Corinthians 14:40 (NIV) reads: “But all things should
be done in a fitting and orderly way.” Organization is the key to
any leadership.
