Taking Situational Awareness For A New Level

This quote in article 3 describes the most common ways “A program using rodenticides and traps, removal of shelter, removal of food and water, and rat-proofing is most effective,” he said.” This quote describes the common ways to end a infestation in your house rodenticides, traps and taking away possible shelter. These ways will work because all of them cost little and are easier to take care of. This quote in article 3 however gives a more harder approach to getting rid of rats “...she has suggested that, based on their situation, some people consider getting a cat or dog that has been bred or trained to be a “mouser...” This quote gives a more harder to take care of way unless you're good with dogs or cats. It is also a more cost efficient way to get rid of a rat infestation. In conclusion, ways people are trying to get rid of rats are more efficient than calling a pest control man to spray your house and have to pay a lot of money. It also gives good insight to ways that people are trying to do to get rid of the

To further prevent rodents and fleas to thrive, I am administering laws that direct public cleanliness and electing officials to supervise these laws. I am cautioning the people to stay away from any cats, dogs, or any other animal. I am also requesting them to meticulously clean every corner of their houses, to maintain a distance from other people, and to minimize contact with each other. I am advising the citizens to take hot baths as frequently as possible, periodically clean their clothes, and boil drinking water. I am setting a quarantine for the town from any connection with the outside by restricting imports, exports, and travel, as well as turning away ships, especially from towns that had been infected. In order to maintain self-sufficiency, I am encouraging citizens to cultivate fish from rivers and increase agriculture. I am advising the people to cover their mouths and nose with clean cloths whenever they venture outside of their homes. To encourage citizens to comply with my instructions, I am convincing religious leaders in the city to persuade them as well as to alleviate their concerns. I am also electing officers to do a regular inspection of all the houses in Toledo in

Rat infestations have swarmed throughout the world, looking for food, and spreading diseases, so of course people attempt to get rid of them. First off, they spread disease. It states in Source 1, “Around 60% of the rodents carry Weil's disease...” This quote states that the majority of all rodents, have Weil’s disease. That means that if you see a rat, it is probably infected with disease. This is incredibly dangerous for people walking the street, or someone without a home. That person who does not have a home, could get a disease very easily. The rats can carry disease and they can spread that disease, it even states in Source 4, “It was this rat which ushered in the Black Plague.” In this piece, they are speaking of Black Rats. These rats were probably one of the unlucky 60%, or it was a carrier something that was on them.

Specific health problems associated with the workplace have contributed to the development of Particular health issues connected with the work environment have added to the advancement of the cutting edge safety and health development. These issues incorporate lung infections in diggers, mercury harming, and lung tumor attached to asbestos. Occupational and Environmental Health Professionals have an above normal extent of all day employments. For Occupational and Environmental Health Professionals working all day, normal week by week hours are 42.3 and profit are high - in the ninth decile. Unemployment for Health Professionals is underneath normal. H&S Professionals have an expansive extent of specialists amongst individuals in the 25-34 age section, making it an energetic and dynamic workplace. The unavoidable consequence of the expanded consideration given to safety and health is that bigger organizations are utilizing safety and health professionals and all organizations big or small are relegating these obligations to existing representatives.

The rodent problem has grown in New York City vastly in the last decade; according to Jonathan Auerbach a Columbia doctoral student in his statistical analysis on 2014 called “Does New York City Really Have as Many Rats as People”; there are approximately 2.02 million rodents in New York City and according to the Planning Department, New York’s population raised as 8,405,837 in 2013. If these reports are accurate, there is one rat for four humans in New York City. So, the problem is why New York City has so many rats and how can it decrease/eliminate the population.

In the article about the rats it talked about how construction and the mild winter caused reasons for the rat surge. I would expand on this section of the article and go into more detail as to why. Also, I would get in contact with a construction worker who has experienced rats and their views.

An outbreak has not occurred in a long time and hopefully it will remain that way with the addition of new technology and medicine in the health department, much research and observing previous cases and more knowledge spread to those who are susceptible to the disease. It dates back many years, and is still present today. This means the number of rats, in every city, needs to be maintained and carefully watched. We need to be more cautious of cleanliness within our homes and public areas as to not attract

As stated in the draft’s introduction: In order to minimize the impact of hazard events on the City of Greer, the city must assess its vulnerability to man-made and natural hazard events, determine what resources it has available to dedicate towards hazard mitigation, and establish and carry out the specific steps which will reduce the city’s vulnerabilities.

Rats. Most people view them as unsanitary and dangerous animals that dwell in sewers. These stereotypes lead to a general hatred of rats by much of the world’s population. Most people have never had a positive encounter with a rat. As someone who owns a pet rat, I feel it’s my duty to educate people and prove stereotypes wrong. Rats make excellent, clean companions who can come in a large variety of appearances. Positivity about these lovely creatures needs to be spread, and they should be purchased for a bigger purpose than food for snakes. Stigmas should not be developed against something, especially an innocent living creature, until you’ve obtained all the facts and have personal experience.

Due to hurricane season in Florida, where three of the developers are located, there is the risk of environmental uncertainty (O'Brien, 1995). To mitigate this risk, plans are being developed to take precautions (Morris) to move the three developers further inland if needed and continual monitoring of the situations that could arise from the weather conditions.

We have learned to use our ability to communicate the information that would be useful with the situational awareness that we have been placed in due to the stress of our job. To help with our situational awareness we have to identify the three factors that could help in your perception of the environment that you have encountered.

Rats proclivity towards the human condition of surplus food supplies and trash production created a system whereby these rodents cohabitation with humans, to the displeasure of the humans, was greatly supportive of large rat populations (McCormick, 2003). In his 2003 study, McCormick goes into great detail surrounding the intimate relationship between human urbanization and increasing rat populations. These animals, did not only survive, but thrived on continued interaction with human created systems of roads, cereal storage, waste disposal, and climate controlled housing (McCormick, 2003). This parasitic relationship clearly makes some institutional controls available in a more domestic case less viable, but can still be mildly controlled as seen in modern steps towards urban sanitation including widespread eradication of rat population in modern cities (McCormick,

The common raccoon (P. lotor) has been said to be one of the most widespread urban mammalian carnivores. Characterised by its fox-like face, bushy striped tail, and unmistakable “mask” of dark patches around their eyes, the growing population of urban raccoons has become somewhat of an epidemic. These small creatures are known for their relatively high intellect, enabling them to access human resources. Raccoons are omnivores, and have been consistently observed to eat virtually anything. Additionally, even though raccoons are technically both primary consumers and secondary consumers, they are best described as being scavengers. Raccoons have very little social structure relatively; they are known as solitary animals, most likely stemming from their nocturnal behaviors. Quite often, they will be found traveling as either a family (until the young reach adolescence, at which time they leave), or an individual. They are notorious carriers of disease, can outcompete native species, and can be quite aggressive when confronted by humans. For these reasons and more, the urban raccoon is considered a pest, and in many areas there have been countless efforts to control their populations (Gehrt, S. D., et. al., 2010, Pg. 35-47). This paper will propose actions that would need to be taken in order to deter raccoons from pursuing human waste as a food source in the effort of controlling their population.

New york is probably known as one of the most rat infested city. There are many programs that try to end the rat dilemma, but the rat population is so large that it’s hard to control. Not only are rats found on the train, they are also found in neighborhoods such as the Bronx. Many people complain about the rat situation to the city, but the homeowners take no action when it’s time to clean up their own mess (Bragdon et al., 2007-2009). Many of the rats that are seen all over the city are huge, and go crawling around for any food that they can find, mainly in trash cans.

It is with the salient awareness of its susceptibility to hurricanes that the city of Mobile in Alabama initiates the development of hazard mitigation planning. The Mobile County Alabama Hurricanes Hazard mitigation plan is a multi-jurisdictional guide for the county of Mobile. Its communities and other stakeholders who are the vital players in their efforts to successfully prepare a plan that will act as a roadmap in responding to hurricane disasters. The plan addresses the hurricane hazard that is a major threat to the people, property and the infrastructure of Mobile County in Alabama. The plan focuses on hazard mitigation planning and actions necessary to reduce or eliminating long–term effects to people and their property as a result of the occurrence of hurricanes. The purpose of the mitigation plan is to ensure that the repetitive cycle is broken by producing less vulnerable conditions amongst the people, property and topographical features.
