Should the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) move out from under the DHS umbrella to become a stand alone agency? Yes. We will discuss two glaring reasons that this should take place, budget & mission statement. Will it be an easy move? No, but after working out the administrative kinks, the FEMA would operate much smoother as it's own organization.

Despite warnings of the impact, Hurricane Andrew the response was negligent and ill prepared. As predicted, the devastation was catastrophic. (20) Governor Chiles was either not informed as to how the state would be affected or was lax in his duties. The Governor waited too long before requesting help for the state. Governor Chiles felt that the state itself could handle the damages that arose after impact and refused government assistance. Once he realized the state could not handle the devastation on its own, government also waited for a formal request from the Governor before stepping in. The reaction from FEMA after the request was slow and ineffective waiting for word from Chiles. In essence, no one actually surveyed the damages caused by the hurricane and once surveyed properly; people had already waited too long and were in dire

We felt there was a huge urgency to help then and in the future. We started to act on the matter along with help from our fellow peers in the Honors College at North Campus in order to help those affected by Hurricane Irma. We are in the process of collecting items such as non perishable foods, clothing, textbooks, diapers, etc.. In addition, we are planning to create an encouraging video with the students and staff in the Honors College at North Campus to express kindness, love, hope, and encouragement. We want to send a warm and impactful message from

Natural disasters always bring many property damages, casualty and countless people who lost their home and all their belongings. "On May 22, 2011, the city of Joplin, Missouri was impacted by an EF-5 tornado. There were 158 deaths with over a thousand injured as a result of the tornado". Hurricane Katrina has been a good example as a warning on how the agencies as FEMA should have been handling the disasters. There were complaints from the survivors to the government, FEMA and other organizations that were involved in the rescue. Throughout the years, FEMA, the government, and some non-profit organizations have been working on the solution from the lesson of Hurricane Katrina and trying to minimize the casualty and property damages in the

As I have read an article regarding the hurricane Harvey and Irma, I was shocked to know that 1.7 million students can’t go to school because of these disasters. It has been a very hard time for all of you to experience such disasters that caused devastating effects not only to the school but also to each and every one. This might be one of the events that all of you would not forget but I am hoping for guidance that teachers would continue to teach the students and students would have the courage to continue pursuing knowledge. You might be feeling unfortunate due to the unending challenges that you encounter, but always remember that there are thousands of people who are praying and wishing for your protection. May all of you conquer peace

The primary response or nonexistence thereof, as a result of Hurricane Katrina, showed great levels of inability and inefficiency by government leaders. The failures experienced by the government is a lot of blame to go around before and after Hurricane Katrina hit in New Orleans, Louisiana taking a lot of lives and making hundreds of thousands more homeless. The federal government were not ready or unprepared for the disaster that took place. The Federal Emergency Management also known as FEMA took several day to launch operations in New Orleans, Louisiana, and as they tried to establish their operation for the disaster they did not have an effective plan in place for the situation they had of their hands. According to Chris McGreal, "Bush

Purpose: The key aspect of serving others from the effects of Hurricane Matthew will allow families who have no home to be provided with food and water. According to authorities flooding in North Carolina from Hurricane Matthew has caused $1.5 billion in damage to 100,000 homes, businesses and government buildings, authorities estimate. To elaborate more many people are seeking to help North Carolina recover, so I would like to make a website for donations and get WECT news to present it on commercials. Also, people who donate we will ask for their email and we will send each one a personal thank you letter. This service of serving others will allow people like the Red Cross to focus on more

As We watch Hurricane Harvey and Irma ripping through our nation coastline causing billions of dollars of damages. As college students and Americans, I think it's our civic duty to help one another. A bunch of Illinois college student organization has come to together with ideas to help our fellow Americans that are affected by this natural disaster. We would appreciate if the professor would be involved with our service. So, our goal is to raise $250 by students donating their money and if that goal is meet professors who sign up who will have to get their face thrown by pies. It would greatly appreciate it if you could participate as many students adore and respect

An additional upsetting issue that FEMA presented orbited around the logistical supply train. FEMA had an abundance of supplies of food and water. What FEMA didn't have was the capability to track it and regulate it and redirect it(9). That was would hurt the residents of the affected areas the most. What is the point having the resources that you need if can’t control where it’s going. This would have a lot of residence angry due to the fact individuals in areas of New Orleans that were “poor neighborhoods” would somehow be forgotten and be responded to last(9). What had people surprised is the fact that FEMA couldn’t locate where its services were headed to. How can FEMA not locate or direct where its services are needed? If Walmart, Target,

As it states in Business Case #1 introduction: “In business, it is often necessary to make decisions on the basis of data from the past”, however, I believe that when you have an unexpected natural disaster forcing customers to make drastic purchases – this statement would just be at this moment a rule of thumb and the market equilibrium’s demand or supply has changed the price and quantity. A good example would be with our most recent natural disaster, Hurricane Irma. I’m looking forward to comparing the financial reports of Home Depot before and after Hurricane Irma. I have been able to completely appreciate this form of financial concept using different forms of formulas used to find out what the sales revenue was especially on “plywood”.

Irma although it produced fear, anxiety and concern in consumers, our economy was able to handle the situation in order to provide a better service to the community. It is to recognize that if we did not have this type of economy many people were not the necessary resources for their family. That's why I'm clearly sure that the best kind of economy is the market economy because it gives us the freedom to buy what we need. We already know that if our economy were to command our consumers had a serious problem to satisfy the needs of each member in their homes. In conclusion, our economy is the best to handle emergency situations as it was the past day during Hurricane

Unfortunately I will not be endorsing your request to apply for the FEMA NATIONAL IMAT (N-IMAT) A

When it comes to destructive tropical cyclones, Hurricane Irma embodies everything that could be connotatively derived from the title. Being a Category 5 storm, Irma has unsurprisingly already had a multitude of devastating effects on the Southeast. Millions of individuals and families have been affected by the treacherous storm thus far, but in correlation to their physical struggle and to the worse Irma gets, the level of hope among the nation depletes, with minimal glimpses of positivity. However, on Monday, September 11, exactly sixteen years after the 9/11 bombings, an indispensable moment took place in South Georgia. Lieutenant Greg Ernst of the SCMPD miraculously spotted an American flag among the debris, and he naturally rushed to pick it up and bring it to safety, later explaining how he needed to make sure it got back to its rightful place high in the sky after it dries. Then, a similar action took place later on that same day in Florida by a medic from the Coral Springs SWAT, where upon his return of rescuing a family and bringing a mother and her newborn to the hospital, Joseph Schiavo retrieved another flag and steered it away from any further harm from the storm. The two actions were recorded,

Millions of Floridians evacuated up north during Hurricane Irma but I was one of the few that stayed behind. Since I work for Residential Life I stayed behind as an essential personnel, helping over 600 students take shelter in Parkview Hall and keep calm during the hurricane. Overall, the week of the hurricane was one of the most challenging weeks I think I have ever experienced. It’s so unfortunate how Hurricane Irma affected so many homes, businesses and lives. I am extremely grateful to be safe and sound. In my first year as a graduate student, I witnessed history which is something I learned a lot from.
