Senate Bill 332 And Emergency Management

This paper is designed to show you the differences between the way conservatives and progressives view the federal role in emergency management. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of each them. Also, we will discuss what you should expect as a practitioner of the profession on how to prepare yourself when you would like to switch from one to the other. Most importantly discuss the criteria of a natural disaster and how human and social perception factors inter play with each other. One question at hand is do we blame the victim? What does “blaming the victim” means? Is there any validity to this or not? Does this concept influence the way our society responds to disaster or any other event that may occur? These are some of

One topic that is in the cross fire on debates all the time is the federal policy on disaster relief, and disaster preparedness. The federal government has programs put into place to help the victims of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tornados. Some of these disaster relief programs are The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (the Stafford Act), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and The Red Cross. These programs have many policies in place, but some feel that there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to improve these policies.

The last subject I would like to mention is the interface between emergency management and homeland security. The interface between them is staying in their own lane especially when a disaster or crisis occurs. There are no grey areas when it comes to these two entities. According to David McIntyre, he considered the interface as a “sibling rivalry” because “one was older than the other” (Lucus-McEwen, 2012). Department of Homeland Security was created to focus on terrorism. While focusing on terrorism the emergency management piece was deprived resulting in emergency management taking a life on its own. No matter how you look these two entities they are family. But the funny thing is neither one can stand on its own without the help

The process of a bill becoming a law in the state of Texas can be harsh and brutal. With the number of complicated steps accompanied by the forces of many different delay tactics, the process can prove to be exhausting.

With the 2016 Election “Senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa filed six senate bills on the first day of the 85th Texas Legislature pre-filing period.

The legislative process in Texas is full of procedural rules and regulations. In order for a bill to become a law in Texas it must meet all the requirements set forth in the Texas Constitution and successfully pass both the house and senate with the Governor signature as final authority. In February of 2015 Author Representative Elliott Naishtat and Sponsor Senator Zaffirini introduced Bill HB 1807 requiring the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to maintain an inventory of educational and supported employment services for individuals effected with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the legislative process. The house secretary assigned Bill HB 1807 it's number briefly after it's submission officially introducing

Texas Legislation has been known to be extremely controversial. But, before it can be described, for whom the legislation

In chapter 3, titled “Congress and the Agencies”, we learn of a few of the many laws, processes and agencies that have been created to better prepare the United States for a national emergency. Since the origins of the United States, the President has always been the lead on emergencies that required attention by the federal government, but the legislative and judicial branches of the government have become more and more involved in making sure that it is done constitutionally. One of the main reasons for this is because of the statutes that have been created because of the response to emergencies. These statutes have been separated into three separate categories.

In the year 2017, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vetoed at least fifty bills. Some of these bills include the study of the accessibility of water in the future, teaching schoolchildren how to avoid sexual abusers, in addition to even allowing counties setting up defender offices for those who are disabled. He did not commit this action without reasons, however, as he explains that every axed bill was either costly, progressive, or extensive. One particular rejection of bill 790, the bill which involved prolonging the lifetime of the committee of studying women’s needs in Texas, raised a high amount of fury towards Abbott.

The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA) is a controversial act that is important to the continued success of the country in a public health emergency. It gives the government the authority to pursue an active role in mitigating, responding to an event to save lives. Furthermore, it allows the government to respond to a public health emergency in five essential functions in preparedness, surveillance, management of property, protection of persons and communications (Katz, n.d.).

While reading HOUSING AUTHORITY &c. v. Johnson, 74 SE 2d 891 - Ga: Supreme Court 1953, I was very perplexed. The record in this case discloses that the redevelopment project here proposed involves 139 acres of land and a population of 5056 persons and 818 dwelling structures *561 together with a number of structures now being used for business purposes. It is proposed to remove all buildings from the area, and thereafter the property "shall be used for light manufacturing or industrial use, warehousing and servicing operations, and related activities." It is further provided that, "said redevelopment plan provides for the ultimate sale or lease of the land acquired in carrying out said redevelopment project to private individuals." Such of

According to the CDC emergency response safety and health database, First aid and treatment for phosgene exposure is primarily supportive. Victims should be immediately removed from the exposure, kept warm, quiet, and should avoid physical exertion during treatment and recovery. CDC also states there is no antidote for phosgene toxicity. Victims with phosgene exposure to the eye should wash out eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. For inhalation treatment, victims airways should be checked for no obstructions, given oxygen if short of breath, monitored for pulmonary edema, dyspnea, and narrowing of airways. For victims with skin exposure to phosgene, decontaminate as soon as possible. If the victim has been exposed to liquid phosgene

Government at all levels plays an important role during disaster management. Actions and roles of each government agencies are spelled out in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF). But before we go into details on the roles of governments, let me first of all explain what constitute emergency and emergency management, just to give clearer understanding some of these terms. Then I will examine the roles of governments at all level including first responder actions, mutual support, lead and support roles.
