Fire Case Study

Tornadoes are devastating atmospheric events that affect the ecology and the lives of people in their paths. Tornadoes are defined as “a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a funnel cloud” (Glossary of Meterology, 2011). The Tri-state tornado was the most deadly tornado in the United States. It stayed on the ground for a total of 219 miles through areas of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, killed a total of 695 people, and an estimated $16.5 million in damages (National Weather Service, 2011). Luckily, the tornado’s path was largely rural farmland with scattered small towns between them. <Add thesis>

seek all the supplies without being seen by anyone and even could not tell family or friends. Here is

Advise the individual not to move or touch anything relevant. Make sure all evidence is

In order to survive a tornado you must be listening to see if you can hear the tornado warning and if you do than you must grab the children (if you have them at home) and preferably the pets to. Than if you have a cellar, or a basement than I suggest you go down there and stay clear of windows, but if you don’t than just find a small space or hide in a closet that has no windows. If you ae in a car and you hear the tornado siren go off, than I highly suggest you get out of the car and grab the kids and go into the closet store to you. And if you are in the middle of nowhere and there is no store by you than see if you can find something to hide under, because I can guarantee you that hiding under something is a lot safer than staying in your

Have you ever witness a hurricane or been in one well, I got some safety tips on how to survive and protect you and your family so don't worry.

A way you can evacuate is by asking friends and family that has stable houses is you can go their houses. After you figure out where you are going to go you need to gather up the supplies you need. When you arrive you need to see what supplies you are missing and go out and buy them before the weather gets to bad.

During a hurricane one should stay in a safe area on the first floor of their house if there are multiple floors. They should be away from windows and glass doors. They should not use any electrical appliances, if possible they should turn off their electricity at the main breaker in case of flooding. During a hurricane one should never go outside for any reason until the “all clear” is given. According to tripsavvy.com more people die from unstable trees or downed power lines after the hurricane because they are too anxious to survey the damages.

Remain in shelter until threat is declared to be over. Keep listening and checking local news or a NOAA weather radio, for updated information and instructions. Make sure to call 911 if there should be any life threatening situations. Any other facilities in the area may have been affected and response agencies may not be able to respond immediately so it's vital to use this resource. Notifying the Corporate Office of all emergency situations and taking roll to ensure that everyone is accounted for is important to report. Also report any missing persons to local emergency response authorities. Location of where you are is just as important as where the hurricane and tornadoes is located. You must be sheltered underground if possible. Making sure everyone is together and present with you is how you can keep you family safe. If separated, make an effort to prepare your family for when disaster does come. The role that location plays primarily is extremely dependent also on geographically where you are, and where the epicenter of the tornado damage is going to hit. That's why it's so important to have that plan in place beforehand so that you are able to protect your family when disaster

If you are not in an area that is advised to evacuate and you decide to stay in your home, plan for necessary supplies in case you lose power and water for several days and you are not able to leave due to flooding or blocked roads. Make a family emergency communication plan, luckily my family and I didnt need to.

There’s is no storm that doesn’t calm down, take a cold shower, cool down and move on.

"Run Run!" "A huge storm is coming" Hurricanes and Tornadoes are very different, but also alike. Let's talk more about that

The first step I would take is assessing the situation, stay calm and gather information from the nurse. Making sure to keep the patient safe while respecting the fact that the patient has a phobia of confined spaces. As a nursing assistant, I should be alert and maintain disaster preparedness skills and follow instructions from the nurse when dealing with this disaster. Prior to the tornado, I will go over emergency or tornado drills with my patient. Therefore, he or she will be more prepared and cooperate with emergency evacuation if needed. I would ensure to listen to the local news or an NOAA Weather Radio to stay informed. I would also choose a spacious room in the house to ensure my patient’s safety while ensuring that he/she does not

5. Avoid highway underpasses. If you find yourself on a highway and a tornado is approaching, you might think that an underpass will protect you. However, that is a mistake as high winds passing above and around the underpass can suck you from your hiding place. Even if you manage to stay in place, flying debris can strike

“Get down!” I’d yell while covering my face into my coat. Not only would I bury my face in my coat, but I’d keep my face covered as long as I can and as best as I can. The toxic debris would kill me if I didn’t have a pocket of clean air. Moreover, if there’s dust everywhere I won’t be able to see anything which could prevent me from seeing the lights that the firefighters flash for survivors to follow to safety. One of the first things I’d need to do to be protected, is to be either covered by something, or be in front of something so that all of the metal and other harmful debris doesn’t hit my body as hard.

The next item needing attention is search and rescue. Time is critical, as the tornado likely has left an unknown number of people wounded or trapped. A slow response could cost people their lives, as well as increase anxiety and panic levels among those with missing family members. Calling in the Federal Search and Rescue team(s) would be the most appropriate way to deal with this situation. In this particular case, the
