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

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

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 ...

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.

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

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 condi ...

Question 1 The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a well known ic.docx
Question 1
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a well known icon around the world.
The Sydney Opera House is about 500m away and from it, the angle of elevation
to the top of the bridge is measured as 14°54' (to the nearest minute).
The place where this measurement is made is 1m above the water level.
On the other side of the harbour bridge, a second reading is taken from the second floor of a building
700m away and 20m above the water level. The angle of elevation is observed to be 9°15' (to the
nearest minute).
(a) Calculate an estimate of the height of the Harbour Bridge above the
water level.
(b) Discuss all possible errors in all measurements taken.

Editor's Notes
- Weather refers, generally, to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time.Climate encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elemental measurements in a given region over long periods of time.These elemental changes can be discovered by classifying what is going on in the elements and then communicated to the public through maps and symbols. The weather has an important impact on society. In fact, most cultures form their customs and practices around what is going on in the weather. How and when crops grow is impacted by weather. Where a person lives is impacted by weather.
- Answer the questions:What were some of the things you saw in the clips?How would you feel if you were caught in severe weather?
