Police and Firemen
In case of a horrific disaster you’re always supposed to have a plan of action, and in case it doesn’t work you’re in need of a backup plan. For example, pretend as if a zombie apocalypse has occurred and we are playing the role of the policemen and firemen in the community that has just been attacked by the infected. Our job is to ensure that the women, men, and children are safe. However in order to protect the city we need to evacuate the people, communicate to the survivors we were left behind, find a means of transporting the citizens to safe locations, and shelter the ones who no longer have a home or a safe place to live temporarily.
Our first step is to evacuate the citizens before they are attacked by the

We will visit as many houses, facilities, and many other buildings to locate everyone. The police department will be in charge of making sure everyone exits the building safely, to check people for infection, and to direct the non-effected to the nearest escape route. Before we leave we will instruct the citizens to pack lightly with essentials such as food, bottled water, and first aid kits. Also, we want to take the highest safety precautions when dealing with infected because we do not want any other to become infected so masks will be handed out for airborne diseases.
To continue the evacuation process the police department will direct and lead the citizens that will travel on foot. With traveling on foot heavy firearms will be handled by the police in order to protect the citizens in case of an attack. With the firearms, some of the first aid kits and food rations will travel with those on foot in order to prevent as many stops or delays in time. To travel as quickly, effectively, and no casualties is the main goal. A scouting party will be above in a helicopter to see any infected that might have slipped our previous scouting.
Along with the police department, the fire department will transport anyone with special needs, disabilities, and basically anyone who cannot walk distances to the safe locations. In transporting these citizens: cars, buses, RVs, ATVs, and any other
Having these plans in place give the Disaster Recovery team the instructions they need when disaster strikes
National Response Plan Howard L. Hayes Saint Leo University Abstract 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 National Response Framework, previously called The National Response Plan, is a plan that the United States put in effect to organize the way the country and the community handles attacks, disasters, as well as all events looked at as an emergency. The Response Plan relays and describes all the information in order to avoid catastrophic damages and to protect and save lives. The plan focuses on how the country as a whole can work together to prepare for damaging events. Morover, the plan doesn 't always seem to be effective as it is expected to be. Issues arose at the time it is most needed, which causes necessary changes to take effect immediately. Sometimes the damage is already done and that could be due to economic collapse, being unprepared, and failure to respond appropriately. The National Response Framework replaced the National
Residents will be taken to an evacuation centre run by the local council. Staff should take spare clothes but essentionals such as food, drink and bedding will be provided, essential things such as medication and care items such as feeder beakers and baby bottles should also be taken if possible.
These consist of bomb alerts, fire evacuation and first aid. These procedures are produced to give help to everyone at the place of the emergency. Everyone, especially adults must be aware of what to follow during an emergency to ensure everyone stays safe.
Editor’s Note: This Chapter is the continuation of an adaptation of a state plan for disaster preparation and response. In total, the original chapter comprises Chapters 1, 14, 16-18.
Evacuation Order
There should be a contingency plan for anything no matter how possible. For example, the space shuttle had no less than 100 emergency landing sites throughout the world. This contingency plan did not have one plan with a backup plan it had a contingency plan and each contingency plan had another. No possible eventuality should ever be foolishly ruled out.
In this essay, federal and state requirements for building evacuations (preparation of and conducting) are compared, with those of applicable NFPA guidelines. Best practices for conducting evacuations are reviewed to determine what applicability the best practices have on continuity of operations within my organization. The essential elements of emergency response were evaluated in three categories; the written program, specific procedures related to emergency response, and training. After evaluation of both the NFPA guidelines and OSHA standards, it was determined that both should be used to develop an emergency action plan.
Maurer and Smith (2013) explain the order of evacuation, first are the physically disabled, the blind and deaf. I would make sure there were enough ambulances and nurses to care for the victims by contacting RCMC for staff for their external disaster policy. Next up are the mentally challenged persons and seniors because they may need extra time to leave the area. Young children would be next because their immune systems are not fully developed and then the medically dependent with respiratory or cardiac problems. I would then make sure my interpreters are ready for the people who speak little english.
Building suspense in literature or film is a delicate art. Suspense is the increase of the readers anxiety and uncertainty about how the plot if going to unfold. Suspense is used in many different ways but mainly to grab the reader or watchers attention and give them an unsettling feeling about not knowing what is going to happen. The writer Richard Connell and director Alfred Hitchcock create suspense for their audiences in “The Most Dangerous Game” and The Bird.
In some instances, COPs may find themselves in dangerous situations where there may be many casualties or situations that my demand that the medical staff needs to protect themselves as much as they need to protect their patients- the COPs. As much as evacuation is essential, there is need to provide adequate information through information sharing systems. This can be classified under their preventive role in a bid to approach the job in a proactive manner. Through this the COPs may have basic and fundamental knowledge of what to do in certain
Do we have a contingency plan in an Emergency? Have we tested it? Is the information current?
In this study, the fields of emergency management, business continuity, strategic planning and scenario futuring were critically analyzed with a goal of developing an integrated strategic contingency planning model. This model will assist organizations in bringing their contingency planning program to a strategic level. Contingency planning can be fully integrated with day-to-day business processes if a new mindset is promulgated in the organization. Contingency planning no longer needs to be an isolated, specialized
The selection criteria for these patients included no history of hallucinations, no other diagnosed mental impairments or history of such, and no major medical conditions or states (e.g. pregnancy). All participants were socially and ethnically homogenous from a hospital in Milan, Italy. The following demographic and clinical information was collected: age, education, illness duration, age of onset of disorder, number of manic episodes, number of psychotic episodes, sex, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score, and “medication load”. Interviews with at least one family member corroborated the information given by the patient. Because medication and dosage level varied by patient, Radaelli et al. quantitatively standardized medication load by comparing antipsychotics and their dosage to an equivalent dose of chlorpromazine hydrochloride on a scale of below, equal to, or above (0, 1, or 2 respectively) the recommended dose, and then used the same scale for benzodiazepines; antidepressants and mood stabilizers were coded as either low dose or high dose and quantified pursuant to schedule developed by Sackeim (Sackeim, 2001). The net medication load then becomes the mathematical sum. The Pearson’s chi-squared test was performed on collected clinical and demographic data.
Body image has been something women are highly conscious of for years. The way the world presses this image of what a “perfect” body is onto women isn’t natural. The perfect body is always changing. From the early 2000’s to around 2015 skinny girls with long legs, perfect skin, and toned abs are what was seen as perfect. The famous Barbie doll toy has been around since 1959 when it came out and has been intoxicating the homes of young girls ever since. Barbie is a plastic toy that represents a perfect caucasian woman. Her unrealistic body proportions have had a negative effect on women for years and press them to look like her. The unrealistic anatomy of Barbie dolls affects the global image of what a female’s body should look like by planting
