The Charlotte Food Festival is prepared to organize a food based event that affords the attendees a great experience in a safe and efficient manner. "An emergency action plan is a formal written plan, developed by the sponsor, that identifies potential emergency conditions at the event site and prescribes the procedures to be followed to minimize or prevent loss of life and property" (Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, n.d, pg.3). Therefore, the committee will develop an emergency action plan to address the potential risk associated with the particular event. The following sections of the Charlotte Food Festival’s disaster preparedness/emergency response plan will detail the various techniques and strategies to address the risks associated with food safety and illness prevention, alcohol, crowd control, weather, fire, violent threats, and various emergencies.
The presence of alcohol can add to the regular risks that may arise throughout the execution of a food festival. Therefore, it is vital that an alcohol protocol is in place to reduce the occurrence of problems that happen because the serving of alcohol. “As the people responsible for events’ overall management, event managers are also responsible for overall alcohol management, even if they are not the licensees” (Health Promotion Agency, 2014, para.16). The Charlotte Food Festival’s alcohol policy will address how the event will ensure alcohol is consumed in a legal and responsible manner by all
specific objectives include: identifying safety insecurities associated with drinking, identifying factors which lead/ influence public drinking, identifying common levels of alcohol consumption, the age of participants, mental and physical risks associated with public drinking and framings for prevention of health and safety risks of public drinking.
Social host liability laws are enacted to hold hosts accountable for any alcohol related injuries that were the result of the host serving alcohol to minors (under the age of 21 for this discussion) or adults. Presently, the State of Setonia has no formalized common-law duty addressing social host liability. In light case recently heard in the Setonia Court where a clearly intoxicated driver struck a pedestrian after departing a social gathering, it was questioned if Setonia should seek to formulate a common-law duty for social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired, or under the influence of alcohol. Two court decisions, with markedly opposed decisions, from Delaware (Shea v. Matassa, 2007) and North Carolina (Hart v. Ivey, 1992), were reviewed in anticipation of the potential formulation of a common-law duty of a social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired or under the influence of alcohol.
Yes, the server should be careful on the limits of people and should suggest to the person not to drink but at the end of the day the drunk is going to do whatever he/she wants. It is impossible to make the serving host responsible for every person to get home safe and respecting the laws of the road. The person drinking the alcohol should be of age to do it. If the person is of the age, they should be responsible
The current issue of concern to the Hospitality Industry relates to the responsible service of alcohol by the employers, management and employees of Hospitality Establishments in QLD. The main purpose of the Liquor Act of 1992 is to regulate the liquor industry, and areas in the vicinity of licensed premises to minimise harm and the potential for harm, minimising the effects on the health and safety of members of the public and community, as well as to regulate the sale and supply of liquor in particular areas to minimise harm caused by alcohol misuse and associated violence. The act is used for the benefit of the premises that supply and serve alcohol to patrons. The guideline for staff and management is to determine if a person is unduly intoxicated before being served.
Why is it necessary for our country to have an effective emergency plan in place? Why does it matter how the country responds to emergencies when every part of our country, including cities and states, face emergency situations on a daily basis all over? Some are bad to worse, and some horrific to deadly. Well, this paper explains the importance of the National Response Plan and why it is necessary for our country to have it in place. It explores several articles that have been published to show the results on the effectiveness and response of the National Response Plan.
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.
Guests will consume alcoholic beverages in a responsible manner. Intervention with an impaired, intoxicated or underage guest will be handled in a prompt and safe manner.
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.
As one of the most prominent petro chemical industrial centers in the state of Texas, located along the gulf coast makes La Porte a potential target for natural or man-made disasters. The purpose of this community assignment is to cultivate, promote and implement an effective emergency disaster program for the residents of the community of La Porte Texas. Our areas of teaching and operation will be community centers, churches and parks. The focus of this community assignment will be preparedness for natural or man-made tragedies. First, there should always be an emergency plan in place and all members of the family should be familiar with it. Knowing what supplies to
The adult consumption of alcohol, in moderation and in a responsible manner, is perfectly fine. Issues arise when the consumption of alcoholic beverages are done so in a way that is excessive, risky, done so as a coping mechanism, illegally, and done so in an irresponsible manner that could cause harm to other. The public’s health is the main concern of the health care field and to identify risks factors that affect our nation’s safety and health. Exposing what is causing health issues and finding
The Saint Louis County emergency Operations plan has the fundamental mission of establishing the emergency guidelines for the County and other offices to follow during a major incident or disaster situation ("St Louis County BEOP," 2013). It includes all requirements for request for assistance and informs at all levels what their responsibilities are during a response incident. The plan was designed to address all hazards that affect the county and everyone that lives in it. This is a plan that does not limit the individual response efforts of the various entities that are involved on responding to any hazard situation. The Plan is designed to provide the general frame work but allows for the innovative measures to be
The final stage in the emergency management program developed and implemented by the Los Angeles Unified School District is represented by the recovery. This phase occurs in the aftermath of the crisis situation and it is focused on helping the community to be restored to the standards that were existent before the emergency, or even higher standards, if this is a possibility.
The purpose of the Emergency Preparedness Plan is to save lives and prevent injuries in case of emergencies such as nuclear attack, fire, natural disaster, civil disorder or other, and provide the necessary best practices to ensure all possible and relevant forms of communicating with our faculty, staff, students, and parents. Mrs. Patricia Harris of the International Studies Elementary Charter School was interviewed about the International Studies Elementary Charter School’s Emergency Management Plan and the role of the school counselor during emergencies. Surprisingly, the school counselor does not play as important of a role than one would have thought. Although, the counselor does serve as one of the Designated School Emergency Team Members, some the tasks that would seem likely the counselor would perform, are performed by other administrators. Tasks such as talking to parents or being there for the students are performed by the principal while the school counselor is delegated to direct traffic. Based on the Emergency Management Plan, it would seem that the school counselor’s role is still not clearly understood. With all the expertise that counselors can bring to a crisis situation, it’s disappointing that counselors are assigned such a miniscule task as delegating traffic. Counselor Harris did discuss the Dougherty County School System’s Crisis Team. That team is
Disasters weather man-made, natural, or technological are ineluctable. Community stakeholders, leaders, and citizens are ultimately culpable for ensuring that a sound disaster preparedness and recovery plan is in place should a calamity materialize. Failure to enact such a plan comes with immeasurable consequences. Over the discourse of this paper, the Banqiao Dam disaster will be examined as a case analysis, to render what preparedness and recovery plans were sanctioned, as well as the scope of the response effort.
On August 29, 2009, Hurricane Katrina struck the United States Gulf Coast. It was a Category 3 Hurricane, according to the Saffir Simpson Scale. Winds gusted to up to 140 miles per hour, and the hurricane was almost 400 miles wide . The storm itself did a tremendous amount of damage, but the storm’s aftermath was cataclysmic. Many claimed that the federal government was slow to meet the needs of the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the storm. This paper will examine the four elements of disaster management – preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation – as well as an analysis on the data presented.
