Emergency Response Scenarios

In my opinion, there are three advantages of scenario planning. Firstly, scenario planning can improve the decision making mechanism and activate the managing system, making the decision with a more scientific and democratic process. TAIDA™ is a primary model for scenario planning. Hundreds of scenario projects have been carried out on the basis of the model in the past decade (Mats Lindgren, 2003). TAIDA is short for five steps below: Tracking: trace changes and signs of threats and opportunities; Analyzing: analyze consequences of the changes and generate scenarios; Imaging: identify possibilities and create images

Having an emergency plan in place, helps people to deal with things in an emergency. It lays out what should be done and how things should be handled. The idea behind an emergency plan is to meet specific needs. In the event of a fire or gas leak, it lays out exactly what needs to be done to handle the situation. It provides strategies and ways to handle. For example, in the event of a fire, it would outline what procedure to follow. This can include how to raise the alarm, how to handle the

Emergency Management preparation involve planning, resources, and training that initialize, bolster, and fine tune operational capabilities before a hazard approaches. This is done by identifying what will be necessary to face a possible hazard and developing plans for delivering those resources when they would be needed. Being prepared necessitates a constant state of readiness and vigilance. Examples of preparedness include the posting of emergency contact numbers, conducting emergency drills, and posting and practicing evacuation

Emergency planning has changed very much since the 9/11 attacks. Law enforcement agencies focus more on prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. With planning and efforts made by law enforcement agencies, the law enforcement community can provide a comprehensive emergency management and security program (EMHSD/MSP, 2009).

This includes development of written plans and procedures to ensure critical operations are maintained. Preparedness includes identification of essential supplies and actions, critical positions, specific roles, responsibilities, orders of succession and delegation of specific authorities, and communication. The most important aspect of emergency planning is for the safety of the staff during an emergency. One or more secure location should be identified for staff during an emergency. Communication methods must be identified and tested between locations. Mutual aid agreements and emergency aspects of vendor contracts should also be reviewed as part of this process. It is also very important to exercise all sections of your plan (PublicRescourceOrg,

The future of Emergency Managers (EM) will be greatly enhanced by seeing more and more people obtaining their bachelors degrees in this field. This is credited to more colleges offering the program, and seeing the need for it in todays ever changeling, and changing environment. Having a BA in EM could also include a chance for promotions, and higher salaries.

As an official I use a S.W.O.T analyses of our event, and communicate with the public and the media for a clear and transparent agenda that is safe and organized for the public.

Should a contingency plan not be created, catastrophic results may occur. It’s evident that every day will not be the same and the likelihood of unforeseen events are typical to take place. Risk identification is a major step in the production of the plans. There may be a history of an issue that needs to be looked at. You may need to create a potential issue and work through the consequences of this happening. There may even be known problems that you are expected to face. It’s important to look at all scenarios and be ready for the worst.

This plan, which is updated every five years, provides County officials and emergency responders with a framework for preparing for, responding to, and recovering from major emergencies and disasters. When the plan is activated, emergency response agencies are integrated into a common emergency management organization.

The first step in the emergency process as stated in the introduction is to form a collaborative planning team that will take the emergency situation head on. The team must understand emergency planning as well as the ability to collaborate on an intellectual level with other team members. Each member must have the same goal as well as objective. These objectives include providing safety for people, property as well as facilities. The members must be comprehensive, which includes provisions to assess the severity of potential hazard. The team will then move on to take steps to eliminating the disaster or problem. In conclusion, the collaborative planning team must understand the four fundamental theories of disasters. This serves to develop the most effective plan or process for disaster relief. The four fundamental theories of disasters include acts of fate or God, acts of nature or natural disasters, joint effects of nature and society and social constructions.

As a health care professional, It is my responsibility to keep a very clean and safe facility at all times. The first step to making sure we are never in violation is making sure everyone is following the OSHA guidelines. Making sure to handle hazardous medical waste properly. I would also make sure my employees know what to do at all times in case of an emergency situation. During down time, I would have a requirement for every employee to just take a moment. To look around and see how they can improve the work environment.I would also make sure my patients are happy at all times.

At home most of us are aware that we should have a emergency readiness kit that includes flashlight, batteries, water, blankets etc. We are warned about changing the batteries in our smoke detectors, securing the patio furniture, and even charging our cell phone before a storm. But what about at work, do you and your employer have a plan? It is easy to take for granted the water that comes out of our tap and the electricity the lights the room. What about all of the systems in our buildings. We sometimes assume that all of our systems are working fine, unless there is a flashing light or an annoying beep, we may not even give a second thought to the health of a system that can be critical in a time of emergency.

Occurrences Natural epidemics and calamities date back to the very beginning of life we know today. Emergency incidences occur unpredictably in our daily life basis. It is hence essential to ensure that we are whole equipped with relevant basic knowledge of handling any unforeseen calamity that can happen here UFV school community. This report present the findings and analysis of an investigation conducted in the library section of the UFV campus

The effective contingency plan should only include the high-priority items and it should be as simple as possible. The purpose for the contingency plans is to response quickly when there are changes of an organization’s current strategy. For example, the predefined strategy is based on some assumptions about the economy but the outcome is not what the organization assumed, the contingency plan can support the organization to react promptly. The effective contingency planning includes a seven step process. First, Identify both beneficial and unfavorable events that could possibly derail the strategy. This step includes the development of the formal contingency planning policy statement in order to provide it to relevant stakeholders the authority and guideline that required developing the effective contingency plan. Policy will be published when executive confirms it. To gather the high-level business requirements, define scope and allocating project resources. Second, Specify trigger points and calculate about when contingent events are likely to occur. It involves the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify threat scenarios, prioritize key business processes and critical systems for business continuity. Executive approval on those choices of the critical business functions and the priority to recover during the disaster. Third, Assess the

In this study, the fields of emergency management, business continuity, strategic planning and scenario futuring were critically analyzed with a goal of developing an integrated strategic contingency planning model. This model will assist organizations in bringing their contingency planning program to a strategic level. Contingency planning can be fully integrated with day-to-day business processes if a new mindset is promulgated in the organization. Contingency planning no longer needs to be an isolated, specialized
