Emergency Response Scenarios

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

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.

Explain the importance of having an emergency plan in place to deal with unforeseen incidents

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).

Therefore, it is critical, to maintain a balance in emergency management planning as well as ensuring an implementation of all hazards approaches. There is also a need to address risk management through strategic planning to create programs and capabilities regarding the homeland security programs. Further, the National Strategy should incorporate operational planning to identify any threats and hazards and determine the risk-reduction objectives. The National Strategy for Homeland Security could benefit from information sharing in regard to terrorism response protocols.

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

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.

The use of scenarios in emergency planning as an exploratory tool would let emergency planners be able to explore and anticipate needs generated by the scenarios. So, having an assortment in possible outcomes, in conjunction with an assessment of emergency resources designed to answer the question of whether there are sufficient and appropriate to match the anticipated need. The more bizarre the scenario, the better ‘experienced’ the emergency planners would be if that scenario did

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Disaster Management Operation Cycle. Purpose of ‘Disaster Management Cycle’ is to ensure pre and post disaster measures. Phases of ‘Disaster Management Cycle’ normally overlap and their length depends on magnitude of disaster[5]:-
