Emergency Response Vehicles

Oncor electric is a regulated distribution and transmission business of the private sector and owned by a limited number of investors. Oncors’ responsibility is to deliver reliable and safe electricity to the private sectors, so they can have the power to maintain productivity by keeping the backbone of our economy (oncor 2012). We are known as the “poles and wires” infrastructure company, we manage our business like the private sector does and our company invests in the latest technology and by putting our employees and customers first. When restoring outages due to large storms or natural disasters we respond quickly and safely to restore power to the critical infrastructure. Electric service providers are required to notify the Commission’s Emergency Management Response Team (EMRT) to be involved in the event of a major emergency and natural disaster that occurs such as hurricanes and ice storms (puc.texas.gov 2009). With the EMRT, they help to coordinate power restoration while communicating regularly with any affected electric service providers before, during, and after an event.

Each year numerous lives are lost due to careless and irrational driving. The disregard for safe driving has been a predicament to the United States of America for years. Many years Police have relied heavily on speed cameras, breathalyzer tests and heavy fines as a deterrent against unlawful drivers. Over the years fatality rates have increased, so the Department of Transportation and Highway Safety has composed a series of safe driving campaigns. On many occasions the Transportation Department informs and advises the public about the importance of responsible driving. They propagate safe driving through the various channels of the media and

“The safety of the people shall be the highest law,” (Cicero n.d. p1). Throughout history, the safety of people has been arguably the most important objective of the government. Political leaders have made a force including police, fire-fighters, and etc. to keep the common population safe. Unfortunately the system set up is not the most efficient at locating mistakes that could potentially bring harm to citizens. Within the city of Longview, located in Texas, there is one of these mistakes posing a threat to the population of the city. On the south side of the city there is a three way intersection between the roads Estes Parkway (running north and south) and Highway 281 (running from the west to Estes Parkway). This intersection designed

I’d like to start this speech today with a question. How many people have been in a vehicle whether being the driver or a passenger and drove by a stationary emergency vehicle sitting alongside the road? I can attest to driving by as well as being on the side of the road. My father, my grandfather, my uncle, and some of my ideals are alongside the road every single day. My grandfather owns a towing company, I have spent my entire life around emergency responders. So, the Move Over Slow Down Law hits very close to home. An article published by Matt Gray states, “Five firefighters per year, and one law enforcement officer per month are killed due to the violation of the Move Over Law. One tow truck driver is killed every six days due to Move Over violations,” (Gray). I am here today to persuade the audience to move over and slow down for emergency responders alongside the road as well as stranded motorists. People need to be aware of the Move Over Slow Down Law.

Adding to that to work with the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness to repeal provisions in the Citizenship Act that give the government the right to strip citizenship from dual nationals. Eliminate regulations that remove the credit provided to international students for half of the time that they spend in Canada and regulations that require new citizens to sign a declaration that they intend to reside in Canada.

Right now I want you to pretend you are in a bus talking to a group of your best friends. You are having one of the best day you could ever have, then it is your turn to get off the bus. Nothing can ruin this amazing day you are having. Boom! All of a sudden, you get stuck by a car, while crossing the street to walk to your wonder family and your wonder house, ending your precious little life. This tragic accident could all have been avoided, if that car stopped at the alternating red lights the bus was signaling. I believe drivers need to stop when the buses stop to pick up or drop off students to prevent future accidents and tragedies. Stopping on red can provide more safety when your kids come home or leaving for school, also you don't

An enormous division currently exists between the people who believe that automobile safety should be an option and those that feel it must be a requirement. The federal government feels the morally obligated to create the safest driving environment possible. On the other end of the spectrum, opinions exist that the average driver has ability to make the choice of safety on their own. Editorials, political assemblies, debates, and conversations have arrived on the concept of click it or ticket. This idea refers to ticketing any motor vehicle driver and passenger that is not fastened by a seat belt. Arguments have been made for both sides, and have been reviewed in multiple states.

Once the interstate came into existence, the public became safer, because all of a sudden it was easy to move large groups of people quickly during emergencies. Arnesen writes “As Eisenhower noted in his memoirs, ‘Our roads ought to be avenues of escape for persons living in big cities threatened by aerial attack or natural disaster, but I knew that if such a crisis occurred, our… highways, too small for the flood of traffic of an entire city’s people going one way, would turn into traps of death and destruction’(2). Now that we do have the interstate system, the next step is to make driving less of a hazard; this matter is spoken of by Chao “Safety will continue to be a priority-it’s the core of the Department’s mission. And the President’s recently announced budget protects those safety functions. Going forward, we must strengthen safety with a balanced regulatory approach, based on sound science and risk-based analysis. The goal is to prevent accidents and fatalities before they

. I was on my way to a 10:30 class on route 29 in Gainesville, heading towards route 66 when I looked over I noticed a car was flipped over on its side, and there was not a cop in site. The first thing that came to my mind was to stop, but there were multiple people helping. However, I knew how traffic was going to be on 66 to get to Mason on time. I had to juggle the choices of stopping, be late to class or keep driving and arrive to class on time. If I missed the class I would miss out on important information needed to pass the class to complete my degree. If I did not have a class that day I would have stopped because I care about people’s well-being. The consequence approach to this decision is deciding to keep driving because it is my

AA is a nonprofit company that offers emergency and nonemergency transportation activities within Missouri and Illinois. Due to the large area that they service, they utilize a computer system that prioritizes the resource allocation that is available. Based on the higher call volume, AA is faced with not being able to dispatch and utilize resources efficiently and effective. In order to help dispatchers answer nonemergency trips, a system was developed to categorize priority. This case study discusses the factors that affect the assignment of resources and how the system is audited for improvements.

We've all heard the stories about a family or an individual that gets stuck out in the middle of a snowstorm in their vehicle or the woman that was driving along a highway in the Arizona desert and ran out of gas. Certainly, they required help and the assistance of a roadside emergency kit. You are probably very familiar with the basics that are required. For example, a first aid kit, flashlight, flares, water, blanket, energy bars, water, but there is something else that is worth considering. Here is more on the subject.

Road safety is very important to those who are given the privilege to operate a motor vehicle. It is especially if you are constantly being taught from the most junior drivers to the more experienced drivers, safety is everybody’s responsibility, not just something that you only follow when you just get your license; it is something that should continually be used in your everyday driving experience. Driving safety can be as simple as remembering to turn your headlights on in the dark to the more complicated and complex rules of the road such as right of way. In order to drive you must follow a large number of rules, the most basic one being following the speed limit, it may sound fairly easy but most people have a problem with following that one rule, whether it is because you may be in a hurry, impatient, or just like to drive fast or faster than everyone. The speed limit is the most common broken law of driving but it can also be excuse such as when traffic is flowing well and everyone is going around eighty miles per hour on the highway, for example some may say “what is the cop going to do pull over all of us” though that may not be the case, driving at fast speeds may still cause your life to be in danger. Turn signals is another common one that people seem to constantly miss, although it is literally a click away drivers tend to forget its existence especially if they may be in a hurry or just find them unnecessary. I, during my daily driving, find myself using my
