Click on the following links for the Phase 4 Reading Assignment: 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. Assignment Guidelines Address the following in a report of 750 words: Briefly describe and summarize the event. When did the event occur, and what happened? Were there any casualties or injuries? Was there any environmental damage? If so, explain What was the primary cause of the event? Explain. What intergovernmental jurisdictions were involved? How were they coordinated? Explain. What types of technology were used during the response and recovery phases? Summarize them. What tools, equipment, or technology could have significantly improved relief efforts? How? Were any special technologies or scientific developments used to restore the situation back to normal? If so, explain. Who should be responsible for funding and providing the tools, equipment, and technology—federal, state, or local governments? Why? Were there any coordination problems, such as interagency communication or conflict? Why or why not? What types of forecasting technologies could have been or were used in the event you selected? Explain. Were they effective? Why or why not? What conclusions and recommendations could you make? Explain. Compile your responses in the final report, and submit the file to your instructor. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. .

Unit IVProject Disaster Recovery The purpose for this Unit IV Project is to describe how emergency management has changed over the last 20 years in your community with both preparation and technological advancements. Be sure to identify your local community. Compare those changes over the years to that of the post-Katrina era. For this assignment, you are to take photographs of your local community (e.g., governmental or nongovernmental organizations, railyards, firehouses, police departments) so that you can show what your area has done to address the issue of a disaster. Using what you learned about your community and what you learned about past disasters from Units III and IV, write a report concerning your community’s disaster organization plans and addresses the points listed below. Explain how either governmental or nongovernmental organizations were or are able to use technology in order to plan for future disasters. Explain who conducted these efforts from a governmental or nongovernmental agency and the vulnerabilities they faced in their community, and include the role these individuals or groups played with mitigating, responding, and/or recovering from the risk. Examine the causes and recovery efforts of at least one past disaster that either occurred in your community or that you have researched. Explain the causes and contributing factors of this disaster. Examine the vulnerability in a larger context. Considering past disasters, either in your community or surrounding areas, do you feel that your community has done enough to prevent future disasters? Why, or why not? What recommendations can you offer to your community to address future risks? Consider future tasks that are associated with the governmental or nongovernmental agency, and use that information to help you explain how your community may be vulnerable to future disasters and emergencies. Discuss the documentation (e.g., policies, procedures) in place to mitigate the future hazards. Your paper should be a minimum of four pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages (title and reference pages do not count toward meeting the minimum page requirement). You are required to use a minimum of three outside sources for your assignment; at least one should be from the Waldorf Online Library. You should also use your textbook as a source. All sources, including the textbook, must be cited and referenced according to APA Style guidelines. Additionally, include at least four visual aids/images that support your content.

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 Hoover, K. (2019, July 11). Federal Assistance for Wildfire Response and Recovery. Congressional Research Service. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/IF10732.pdf 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).

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.

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

i HOW FIRE DEPARTMENTS RESPOND TO DISASTERS by Student X This Thesis is being submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree in Public Safety Management Great College Jacksonville Jacksonville, Florida Fall, 2015 ii DEDICATION I would like to thank my wife Lindsey Perrotta for all of the help she has given me throughout this research proposal, she was phenomenal in helping me complete this project by answering questions for me and taking care of the children while I worked on the project. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge Lindsey Perrotta for helping with the project, and Professor Davis for providing guidance and the template for the project. iv 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. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication ii Acknowledgements iii Abstract iv Chapter 1 Introduction 6 Chapter 2 Review of Literature 8 Chapter 3 Methodology and Procedure 13 References 16 6 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 week's problem is a little tricky. You are asked to evaluate a list of terms. You need the context to make sense of this. You need to apply this to an interagency task force , that is, your agency and others which are not your agency. Harking back to my disaster management proposition last week, you see a common goal (solving a problem that all have an interest in solving, but at different levels of service. So my "interagency" for a flood is (a) Police; (b) Fire; (c) local government; (d) governor's office; (e) food, shelter, clothing providers; (f) highway department; others. For example, “The President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) is a cabinet-level entity created by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, which consists of some 15 agencies across the federal government responsible for coordinating U.S. government-wide efforts to combat trafficking in persons” ( https://www.state.gov/j/tip/response/usg ). If you visit this U. S. State Department web site, you will find a list of federal agencies that contribute to this task force. They would generate unifying policies to inform members of appropriate action, and to reduce duplication of efforts. Now I have a list of terms. Which apply and why could they incur conflict or disagreement between participating agencies? Examine and analyze the following checklist developed by an interagency task force for choosing an organizational structure. From this list, select the criteria that you find to be the best in terms of their relevance and the way they are able to keep administrative agencies accountable to the public for results and transparency. Evaluate and explain which ones you think are most often in conflict with each other. Public acceptance Adaptability Professional competence Participation, representativeness, and diversity Effective databases Cost and timeliness Promotion of private efficiency Accountability to the president Accountability to Congress Compatibility with state regulation ...

10.1177/0002716205285404 604MarchTHE ANNALS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMYAGILITY AND DISCIPLINE For more than thirty years, the U.S. emergency management community has been increasing its ability to structure, control, and manage a large response. The result of this evolution is a National Response System based on the National Response Plan and the National Incident Management System that is perceived to have failed in the response to Hurricane Katrina. Over the same period, social scientists and other disaster researchers have been documenting and describing the nonstruc- tural factors such as improvisation, adaptability, and cre- ativity that are critical to coordination, collaboration, and communication and to successful problem solving. This article argues that these two streams of thought are not in opposition, but form orthogonal dimensions of discipline and agility that must both be achieved. The critical success factors that must be met to prepare for and respond to an extreme event are described, and an organizational typology is developed. Keywords: response; critical success factors; agility; improvisation; discipline Extreme events such as the September 11,2001, attacks on the United States, the De- cember 2004 Sumatra earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the October 2005 Pakistan earthquake produce catastrophic immediate impacts and cause long- term disruption of economic and social systems.

Competency Analyze ethical and legal dilemmas that healthcare workers may encounter in the medical field. Instructions You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed. An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure. Introduction: Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient. Living Will Template: Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes. Summary: In this section, you will discuss the importance of this document and encourage patients to complete it. Address how this document ensures that a patient's wishes are known and followed by the healthcare team. NOTE - APA formatting and proper grammar, punctuation, and form required.

Competences, Learning Theories and MOOCs: Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning Karl Steffens Introduction We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman & Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014, p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised pursuit of learning’. One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in 1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure, 1972, p. vi). Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http:// uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life- long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in 1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO, 2000, p..

Compensation, Benefits, Reward & Recognition Plan for V.P. Operations Learning Team B HRM 595 December 19, 2017 Rosalie M. Lopez Running head: COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, REWARD & RECOGNITION PLAN 1 COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, REWARD & RECOGNITION PLAN 2 Compensation, Benefits, Reward & Recognition Plan for V.P. Operations Introduction Base Salary Range For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position. Standard Employee Benefit In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .
