Importance Of Public Service Announcement

Hurricanes and tornadoes are both severe weather events that can potentially cause a great deal of damage to property. Both of these storms can threaten human life and in severe events with either a hurricane of a tornado there may well be a loss of life. They may be quite different in how they form and what they actually do but on the other hand those storms are both potentially devastating so they fall into the same category of potential severe weather danger. People who live in areas where hurricanes and tornadoes are known to appear during certain seasons of the year are always urged to be alert to weather warning systems. Those same residents know from experience to keep their radios tuned to weather emergency stations and they are in many cases prepared for the brunt of a storm by building basement shelters.

A tornado watch when issued is just a reminder that the weather does have the potential to produce a tornado and that caution should be used when traveling and doing outdoor activities. However, when a tornado warning is issued this is a warning to take cover in a cellar, basement or other safe places; away from windows and other places where one may be harmed.

It is vital for the survival of mankind that we respect and understand the severity and danger of natural forces and weather conditions. Although advances have been made in the predictions and warning systems of the National Weather Service, or NWS, we must be vigilant in our efforts to always respect what is coming. It is also imperative that we learn from the mistakes we have made in the past and grow from them. One such piece of literature which can help to do this is "Storm Warnings: The story of the a Killer Tornado", by Nancy Mathis, which depicts an amazingly horrific incident where mankind was not prepared for what was coming. The following is understanding of the events that took place on May 3rd, 1999, which showcased an amazing, and terrible, spectacle of tornadoes in Oklahoma. Furthermore we will delve into what has changed since this to better our understanding of upcoming weather related dangers as well as planning for said forces of nature.

Saturday afternoon a deadly and costly EF5 tornado hit Camillus, NY. 568 people were injured, and sadly, 8 people perished. This storm was devastating to the people of Camillus, and their families.This was the worst storm yet. The damages are approximately $9.7 million, not to mention it’s estimated to take around 2 years to rebuild the community. The most disappointing part is how long it took government agencies to help the people in need. We could have avoided so much, but the residents weren't prepared. Most of the people that had died was due to the lack of warning and the severity the storm. They didn't realize that a tornado was coming because they are so uncommon in New York. Therefore, they will arrange tornado drills at the schools;

A friendly reminder of last week. Last week we all watched the Atlantic to see if we would be affected by hurricane Joaquin, all the while watching the east coast suffer catastrophic flooding, we may have family or friends that were affected by these events. I wanted to take a moment to make sure you all are prepared for emergencies at home as at work. Daily routines can be disrupted with little or no warning by a catastrophic weather event, and help might not always be available. Emergency preparedness is key. A great resource is the Red Cross and another is the National Safety Council for tips and guides for emergency preparedness at home and on the road.

The Public Service Announcement, “ driving role models” , informs parents way of driving and how it affects their children; the video starts with a kid and strings tied to his hands like a puppet informing how easily parents easily influence their children and if you use no words or anything making it intimidating for the viewer. starting later in the video that the strings are attached to the father as that whatever the dad does controls and affects the children to do the exact thing they are doing . There purpose was to show the people that you have to set a good example and be the role model to show their children how to not just drive but in a way they make you think beyond not just driving but other bad choice they do for example, the

The Public Service Announcement (PSA) does not do enough to impose distracted driving. Distracted driving threatens to become a deadly epidemic on U.S. roads. In 2008, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that nearly 6,000 people lost their lives and more than half a million were injured in crashes involving driver distraction! With all the technology advancements, teens are finding new ways to text and drive causing more crashes and deaths according to an article published by BUnow. One may say, "Well this will never happen to me.” but if the PSA is not doing enough to stop distracted driving with all the technological advancements, your loved one could be part of that 6,000. States are passing a bill that fines

This week I learned about the dangers associated with hurricanes and tornadoes and the cities that are often affected by these dangers. If I know the dangers and the places often affected by these natural hazards, I can then better

Starting a new school year as a tenth grader, I thought there wouldn’t be any big changes but there was, and there is. My classes became slightly more difficult than they were last year, as a freshman. Which made it more challenging to keep up with all the class work, tests, quizzes, and homework. Although, most of the assignments assigned became a bit effortless, of course effort is needed but it’s just so simple to do. All of my classes balance between those two, being challenging at times but also being simple. I, like every other student was enrolled into a World History class. In History class, we were assigned a Public Service Announcement(PSA) just recently.

Sometimes when you put off doing something you get hurt. I learned this while doing a project in my eighth grade English class. We were assigned a Public Service Announcement project during the last weeks of school. Everyone was required to choose from a list of topics for their public service announcement. Our topic was on what people can do to save the environment. We made the project with a mixture of photos from the internet and photos we personally captured. Then, we added music and the project would be complete once we recorded. Two-thirds of the way done with our project, my group decided to slow down our pace. We stopped the project altogether and we remembered the assignment once our teacher reminded us. She told us that it was scheduled

This study examined the effectiveness of the new impact based warnings (IBW) on tornado warning and risk communication which is an important topic and would contribute to future policy making on warning response area. Overall, the author did a thorough literature review, conducted quantitative experiments which represented a fair attempt at tackling the topic, and employed adequate analysis approaches to test the hypotheses. However, there are some moderate issues to the manuscript that prevent me from recommending the editor accept this manuscript in its present form.

Tornados, with their dusty spin and its cone like shape, tornados can destroy a lot. If you see on the news and they maybe see a tornado be calm but when they see it coming, hide in the bunker you probably don’t have. But that won’t really happen, even if tornados hit the U.S. about 1,300 a year it may not happen. The area you can maybe get a tornado is North Dakoda down to Texas over to Florida up to New Jersey. But one state in that area doesn't get rarely any and

Those who live in tornado alley as it’s called, knows that when they hear the warning sirens to be on the watch. Then as one looks at the skies they see the dark clouds gathering together as the winds start to blow, rain is starting to fall and then off in the distance you can see a funnel cloud now forming and then you have a tornado coming towards you.

Have you ever thought or came up with a plan if a tornado was to touch down by your house.Well if you haven't you really need to its very important to have a plan not just for a tornado but any bad storm.So if you had no plan if something bad like this happened it could go bad quick or you can die.Thats why it is very important to have a plan for anything.One day my family and I was watching a football game and the game went off and the news came on they said a tornado was heading right towards or house.The first thing I did was get all my family out of the house and to the tunnel I dug up that was the only safety we had.

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
