What Is Public-Safety Answering Point (PSAP)?

Oncor electric is a regulated distribution and transmission business of the private sector and owned by a limited number of investors. Oncors’ responsibility is to deliver reliable and safe electricity to the private sectors, so they can have the power to maintain productivity by keeping the backbone of our economy (oncor 2012). We are known as the “poles and wires” infrastructure company, we manage our business like the private sector does and our company invests in the latest technology and by putting our employees and customers first. When restoring outages due to large storms or natural disasters we respond quickly and safely to restore power to the critical infrastructure. Electric service providers are required to notify the Commission’s Emergency Management Response Team (EMRT) to be involved in the event of a major emergency and natural disaster that occurs such as hurricanes and ice storms (puc.texas.gov 2009). With the EMRT, they help to coordinate power restoration while communicating regularly with any affected electric service providers before, during, and after an event.

This is a Public Service Announcement. There is a Tornado headed our way. The Warning will be from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm eastern time. The following Counties will be affected, Allegheny, Beaver, and Washington. Wind Gusts will be up to 65 mph. Please go to a safe area in your home (example, basement, bathroom, somewhere with no windows). You will need to take enough food and water to last you until the Warning is lifted. There is a strong possibility that you will lose power during this Tornado. If you have flashlights, batteries, and a radio please take these with you as well. If hit with the Tornado you could be severely injured by flying objects. Anything with gasoline in them could possibly explode. Medical Teams will have a

The mission statement of T-Mobile is: “As America's Un-carrier, T-Mobile US, is redefining the way consumers and businesses buy wireless services through leading products and service innovations. The Company's advanced nationwide 4G LTE network delivers outstanding wireless experiences to 67.4 million customers who are unwilling to compromise on quality and value” (About T-Mobile, 2017).

A Public Service Announcement (PSA) can help reduce the number of distracted driving accidents by explaining the horrible effects of distracted driving and the best ways to prevent distracted driving. Currently, the main source of distracted driving is cell phones. Cell phones cause a person to text, call, and use social media while driving; all factors that can be a deadly distraction while driving. A cell phone causes much distraction for the driver and may cause the driver to have a car crash that not only affects themselves, but also the surrounding people. As a community, we should be educating people about distracted driving in order to prevent the problem and decrease the number of accidents. Public Service Announcements are important as they provide people with evidence, resources to limit distraction while driving, and helpful/important information. Teenagers, children, and even adults will be able to be informed. Even though educating people through a Public Service Announcement is important, it might not be viewed by most people and will not be effective towards the younger viewers. Teenagers and even adults might dismiss a Public Service Announcement because the announcement does not grab their attention or because the person might not care.

If any class I’m taking requires a speech that must be presented in front of others, I immediately dread the due date for that assignment. While the student, whose turn is before mine, is reciting his or her speech, I cannot help but feel my heart race and the palms of my hands begin to sweat. No matter how many times I take a deep breath and tell myself to relax, I still feel anxious. My anxiety towards public speaking has been happening to me since as long as I can remember. I was eager to take the PRPSA questionnaire to determine where on the scale my level of anxiety towards public speaking falls. To my expectations, my results for the questionnaire, a 98, was right where I figured it would be. I found my score to be accurate because yes,

The idea of securing the nation’s borders and securing the safety of the citizens has been a major topic since the beginning of the nation’s existence. There have always been means and procedures for it but it was never defined to the point it is today. The Homeland Security Department is a fairly new program which is constantly improving and adjusting in accordance to the threats that may arise. In the attempt to secure the United States, homeland security has become paramount and a lot of emphasis is being provided so as to ensure the safety of the borders and the citizens of the United States. So one must ponder what the difference between homeland security and homeland defense are since they both tend to mean the same

But of course, PSA’s don’t just shake people awake. Back in 2009, the Field family & their friends suffered a severe loss, the loss of Josh Field, a bright young man who stole everyone’s hearts. In a recent PSA interview video, we hear from Kathryn Field, Josh's mother. Towards the end of the PSA video, she admits: “If Josh had more knowledge about the outcome of answering that cell phone, maybe he wouldn’t have, maybe he would have just left it”. Clearly, PSA’s do more than just shake us awake; they also have the power to save lives by giving us the knowledge to stay safe. Think about it this way, if distracted driving PSA’s were as popular 6-7 years ago as they are today, bringing people the knowledge to make the right decision, then maybe Josh, and many others would have remembered the dangers and would have ignored that cell phone and focused on the road. Sadly Josh wasn’t fully informed of the dangers of distracted driving and so, he lost his life that day. Mrs.

In 2011 alone, 1.3 million car crashes involved the driver being distracted because they were using their phone. This is a shocking statistic and what’s even more frightening is that even though it is a big problem, people continue to drive while distracted. There are plenty of methods that the public has tried for these distracted drivers to stop. One way is through a PSA, or a Public Service Announcement. PSAs are just what it sounds like. They notify the public about a certain topic that is critical to be heard. Even though PSA’s are have not been proven to be helpful according to recent statistics, I believe that it is just a good method that takes time.

Public Safety’s next meeting is August 15, 2016 , 10-11 am at Neighborhood Improvement Services, Main Conference Room, 807 E. Main St, Suite 2-300.

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296), and Executive Order (EO-13284) formed DHS with the mission of securing the homeland from terrorist attacks. CBP/OAM’s authority to perform its domestic mission is derived from various policies and authorities. The National Security Presidential Directive 47 (NSPD-47)/Homeland Security Presidential Directive 16 (HSPD-16) provides detailed strategic vision for aviation security. Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 18, The National Security Presidential Directive 41 (NSPD-41)/Homeland Security Presidential Directive 13 (HSPD-13) establishes policy, guidance, and implementation actions to enhance U.S. national/homeland security by protecting U.S. maritime interests. The National Drug Control

This method is using a personal experience of someone who was involved in a distracted driving incident in the PSA. This is a very clever way to make a PSA effective, because often times people can relate to other people who were involved in an incident. Whether they had a family member who was involved, or they were the driver who caused the incident, there are plenty of distracted driving stories out there that are waiting to be shared. Fox9.com shared a “heart-wrenching” story of a man who caused a distracted driving incident by looking at his phone for only a short time. By the time that dump truck driver Frank Rychtik looked at the road once again, it was too late.

As we look around us this learner can see how the past, present and future has given our society so many questions about other individuals racial inequality and race has affect us in one way or another, and the best example for this would be 9/11. It made us afraid and fear a certain culture based on the ground shaking history it left behind. Cultures that before we may not have paid them any mind, but know are a focus point for the public safety field as well as everyday life. This learner hope to address some questions in regards to if this learner beliefs changed about other race and cultures, and its significance to public safety in America. If this learner found any particular impact that on developing ideas in regards to

The Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience advances a national unity of effort to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure (The White House Office of the Press Secretary, February 2013). It is imperative for every nation to develop a critical infrastructure protection plan that will provide the essential services to its society. To archive this, a government must be proactive and coordinate its efforts that will reinforce and maintain secure, functioning, and
