Westwind Neighborhood Case Study

Throughout my early teen years, I was exposed to different mediums of art and discovered that I could express myself through more channels than just paper. Although Barry found comfort in her 11 x 17 newsprint and some paint, I was able to focus my energy on making music and taking photographs. Without my art teachers, I wouldn’t have the expressive outlet I do today. My childhood was not filled with unhappiness as Lynda Barry’s was, but from both backgrounds, we found a warmth from the exposure of art that the educational system gave to us.

So, if I could design a futuristic neighborhood, it would include moving sidewalks, futuristic parks, and smart houses.

I responded to 410 South Brundidge Street in reference to a suspicious circumstance call. Upon arrival, I spoke with Michael Peacock.

The case that I have chosen to write about stage one of the disaster in 1889 in Johnstown flood, Pennsylvania. The reason is my background is heavy in mitigation and something as disastrous as this could have been mitigated completely out of the history books. At the same time without this horrible technological disaster we would not have the emergency management system that we have in place today. However, just like a lot of our nation's laws and systems we have in place they are written because of the blood that came from a scenario that we have to fix.

Hi Nick, I like the approach that you are taking by identifying what the neighborhoods are doing to keep it safe and see the conditions of the homes. There are a lot of different outcomes and just because it works in one area, does not mean it will work in another. Although, studying what Portland neighborhoods are doing that Gresham neighborhoods are not would be one approach, even thought it will most likely have a different effect. I think it is a great idea to get the other local police departments together to learn and share ideas on what works in their community. This way the police officers can learn new tactics that can try implementing into their

It doesn’t take long for an incident like the one that Joe Thompson experienced at Westview’s Open House meeting to spread around a community. When Joe addressed the parents with his blunt demeanor he did not make a good first impression with the parents. It will take time for Joe to be accepted by the parents of Westview. It will be hard to develop a positive relationship with the parents due to their lack of trust and belief. They will only see him as a leader that degrades them and isn’t concerned with their culture. It is unfortunate that Joe did not get to know the community of his new school prior to the open house.
