The document discusses Colorado's resource mobilization plan and database for tracking resources during emergencies. It provides details on the process for activating state resources, outlines the resource ordering process from local to state levels, and describes the database for cataloging resources including facilities, equipment, supplies, and subject matter experts from government agencies and private sector organizations.
This document discusses policies to prevent youth smoking in Colorado. It notes that tobacco kills over 4,400 people in Colorado each year, and 80-90% of smokers start by age 18. The tobacco industry spends over $12.5 billion annually on marketing, including $170.7 million in Colorado. New nicotine products like e-cigarettes are also increasing in popularity among youth. The document proposes several policy options to reduce youth access and initiation, including increasing cigarette taxes, enacting retailer licensing laws, restricting flavored products and sales near schools, and updating the tobacco-free schools law. There is strong evidence that limiting youth access through these types of policies can effectively reduce smoking rates.

The document summarizes flooding risks in Colorado. It provides examples of major flood events from the 1920s to 2000s that caused billions of dollars in damages and hundreds of deaths. It notes that since floodplain management was implemented in the late 1960s, 4 of the 7 costliest floods in Colorado's history occurred. The document also outlines factors that can cause or exacerbate flooding like heavy rain, snowmelt, and rain on burned areas, and provides current snowpack and weather forecasts.

SugarCRM Pivotal Tracker Integration - SugarCRM Project ManagementAtcore Systems
The document discusses integrating SugarCRM with Pivotal Tracker to allow for cross-project reporting, visibility into assigned stories by user, counting stories by stage, cross-referencing CRM data with stories, and custom dashboards. It proposes linking Pivotal Tracker projects with SugarCRM projects to synchronize stories and enable robust reporting and searching across the two systems through a new SugarCRM module for Pivotal stories.
Wm moorhead practical steps in business continuity planning, shared strategiesBrandon Williams
The document discusses comprehensive business continuity planning and provides a practical planning process. It reviews common elements of continuity plans such as essential functions, orders of succession, and alternate facilities. Challenges to continuity planning like lack of leadership, time constraints, and employee buy-in are examined. The document offers strategies to overcome challenges like engaging individuals, focusing on practical threats, and gaining leadership support. Resources for continuity planning including FEMA templates and independent study courses are also provided.

This document discusses the degradation of plastics over time. It examines research on the breakdown of various plastic materials, such as polyethylene bottles and polystyrene cups, when exposed to different environmental conditions like weather, sediment, and heat over periods of 2 years. The research found that plastic type and environment significantly impact degradation rates, with thermal aging causing faster breakdown than weather or water exposure. Most plastics showed chemical changes within 24 months, with polyurethane breaking down most quickly. Cigarette butts were also examined and found to degrade into paper and acetic acid. Understanding plastic degradation can help address the global pollution problem.

It also notes the dilemma between requirements for transporting art versus sustainable solutions. Different transport methods like trucks, planes, ships and trains are discussed in terms of sustainability. Finally, it provides examples of sustainable packaging and transport approaches like reusable crates, flexible packaging systems and virtual couriering.
1. The document provides guidance on practicing integrated pest management (IPM) in a calm and reasonable manner. It advises focusing IPM efforts on key areas like sanitation, exclusion of pests, and monitoring, rather than trying to inspect and treat everything.
2. Effective monitoring of pest populations involves using traps, record keeping, and identifying problem areas. Traps should be placed strategically and checked regularly.
3. Proper inspection is the foundation of any IPM program. Inspections should be routine and involve looking for pests, signs of pests, and conditions that could attract pests. Focus inspection on vulnerable areas and artifacts.
