Wtp Case Study

The loss of Louisiana coastal land is one of the most major factors in our environment today. Louisiana has already loss 1,880 square miles of land in the past eight decades. This problem is effecting the state funding to help solve the problem before the state lose more coastal land. Human disturbance has had a massive impact on the balance of wetland growth and decline. (Wilson, 2013). In order to stop this situation the state needs to have a stronger structural protection for the coast line. (Wilson, 2013).

It is also notable that while this response is clearly evident on the barrier coast, waves and surge show considerably more inundation for the 1990s scenario when compared to that of 1950 along the bay marsh shorelines and farther inland” . The loss of the barrier was directly and indirectly altered by human activities. Within the past 40 years, barrier islands and marshes have drastically diminished along the coast and are projected to continue to do so without a major restoration

Many communities are suffering due to coastal erosion. One example is the village of Cocodrie, LA in Terrebonne Parish. This village’s small population and its 220 residential and commercial buildings are surrounded by marshes. In Cocodrie, there is no barrier against hurricanes. Local marinas play host to recreational and commercial fishing, and The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium is located in Cocodrie. This facility of around 100,000 square ft houses laboratories, classrooms, and a research center. Infrastructure that will be affected by coastal erosion includes paved highway, dirt roads, a bridge, water supply systems, and natural gas lines. By 2050, Cocodrie will be surrounded by open water as the marshlands around the village give way to rising sea levels. Another community affected by this issue is Yscloskey, LA in St. Bernard Parish. The most important part of the economy here is fishing, and highways link the parish to New Orleans fishing communities. The Yscloskey area lies outside of the protective levees and is quite vulnerable to storms. Though losses in Yscloskey are not predicted to be as great as those in Cocodrie, a 16 percent loss by 2050 leaves the infrastructure of Yscloskey even more vulnerable (Coast 2050, 1998, p. 64-66). Local residents in these areas are watching the land disappear along with the beachfronts and Cyprus swamps that were on that land (Marshall, 2014).

For instance, they have detailed information about the areas that are flood prone and provide this on (is there a missing word following the comma?)several platforms, such as the Flood Insurance Rate map required by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) that illustrates which parts of the county are most at risk for flooding, as well as other informational categories(please elaborate on or list the categories) (Howard County Website). Moreover, the Howard County government has several restrictions and permit requirements that prevent or at least make it more difficult for people to establish (build?) their private properties in flood prone areas. For instance, Howard County has restrictions that a resident’s private property has to be “within the County-regulated 100-year floodplain delineated for smaller drainage areas” (Howard County website). (check on the accuracy of the previous quote) In addition, residents must consult with county officials prior to altering the exterior of their house in any way to ensure that the project is in compliance with any floodplain restrictions (Anderson, Baltimore Sun). Finally, residents and their private properties can be better protected from the financial risk of flooding if they acquire flood insurance, which is mandatory for certain high-risk areas (called Special Flood Hazard Areas) and has to

Reports revealed that by 2080s, the projected flood heights for locations in Connecticut (e.g., Norwalk, Westport, Bridgeport, Greenwich Cove, Shippan Point, Stamford, and Stratford) could range from 11.5 to 13 feet for a Category 1 hurricane, and 14.5 to 15.7 feet for a Category 3 storm (Gornitz et al., 2004). Therefore, rising sea level could account for 18-22% of the increase in flood height (in the high sea-level rise scenario) or 6-8% in the lower case (Gornitz et al., 2004). With the rising sea level, floods generated by storms of this magnitude could approach 18 feet by the 2080s (Gornitz et al., 2004). The increase in the projected flood level cities in Connecticut will be greatly affected such as Bridgeport and New Haven. As an illustration, a significant portion of both Bridgeport and New Haven lies within the high-risk flood zone, and during severe storms this place a large population, private property, and infrastructure at high risk. In New Haven, some infrastructures that are at risk include the New Haven railroad station and track yards, the Tweed-New Haven Airport, ramps to the Connecticut

The issues presented in these two letters both provide strong cases. However, in my opinion I feel the evidence found in the second letter is much more convincing than the first.

Case management services were provided. WYP (Wraparound Youth Partner) Andy Ngo gathered information from WCC (Wraparound Care Coordinator) Quoc Tran and WPP (Wraparound Parent Partner) Shannon Ortiz. The youth is in custody for 3-4 months. The youth was at court this morning. The mother declined to take the youth home. The youth is still pending court trial for another offense. The WCC Tran did not get permission for the team to visit the youth, due to the probation office is not responding. WYP Ngo is waiting for permission to visit the youth. WCC will update WYP Ngo. The next one on one will be scheduled as soon as possible.

Each year approximately seven million tourists travel to Delaware’s coast to vacation at the local beaches of Rehoboth, Lewes, Bethany, Cape Henlopen, Fenwick Island, and many more. Due to all the tourists who travel to Southern Delaware’s coast, major work and economical opportunities have opened up to the nearing town’s and residents. what attracts so many people to the beaches of Delaware? The answer is simple, the National Resources Defense (NRD) has tested the coast and as stated by Congressman John Carney the tests showed that “Delaware’s beaches have again been lauded for having the cleanest water quality in the nation.” Both the beaches of Rehoboth and Dewey “were again awarded 5-star ratings as Superstar Beaches for their perfect swimming water quality for the past four years.” The coast also includes many activities for families that may include things like fishing excursions, water parks, boardwalk and outlet shopping, boardwalk games, a movie theater, along with scenic walks and parks such as the Cape Henlopen State Park for more of the nature lovers of the

Prior to the ERISA the WPPDA required employers to make plan descriptions and annual financial reports available to the government and plan participants. Although this was meant to give employees a chance to keep an eye out on any abuse or mismanagement of their funds. The WPPDA was limited in scope and was one of the reasons ERISA was formed. ERISA provisions applied starting after January 1st, 1975. The act increased the information that was available to employees and beneficiaries. ERISA implemented a type of healthcare plan enforcement that requires employers to manage funds exclusively for plan participants and their best interests.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, almost 40% of the population lives in high population-dense coastal areas. Around the world, eight of the world’s ten largest cities are situated near a coast, with about 250 million people living by a coast line less than 5 feet above sea level. It is projected that all of these people will be directly affected in some way by seawater rising in the future (Siegert, 2017). For the county of Orleans Parish, the rapid loss of coastal land is not a future scenario, but a current reality. Due to our unique geography, Louisiana loses about 16 square miles a year; the rapid erosion of Louisiana’s cost is only expected to accelerate over time. (Wernick, 2014).

The differing needs of a vulnerable population have to be addressed in order to alleviate issues that were noted after Katrina. In particular, the needs which are known prior to a disaster, such as evacuation for the infirmed, elderly, impoverished, and those who lack the means to evacuate. The Department of Homeland Security represented a solution to addressing these needs via a three phase response: “pre-event planning and preparation, the event, and recovery” (Dept. Homeland Security, 2008). It has been widely studied that residents of a vulnerable community may be impacted more severely and are disproportionately affected than those with means following a disaster. Assessing how to prepare for each of the phases represents an issue for emergency managers especially when it comes to those who lack the means to prepare for themselves. Quickly rebuilding homes in a devastated area won’t help a community when a disaster strikes again. Platt stated that “disasters offer a window of opportunity to strengthen communities”, via “construction and change land uses to prevent a recurrence of a disaster”. (Platt, 1998) It also can be argued that following a disastrous event, this is when a true opportunity arises, by providing an opportunity to work through solving the societal issues that are the basis for a vulnerable populous via comprehensive political reforms and

The Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) enforces specific requirements for statements covering ADEA claims. OWBPA, § 201, 104 Stat. 983, 29 U. S. C. §§ 626(f)(1) (B), (F), (G). In obtaining the release, Entergy did not align with the OWBPA in at least three respects: (1) Entergy did not give Oubre enough time to think about her options. (2) Entergy did not give Oubre seven days after she signed the release to change her mind. And (3) the release made no precise reference to claims under the ADEA

Wipro technologies are a company focused on the software and information technology service division as a part of the Wipro group whose header quarter located in Bangalore, India (Wipro Technologies Europe A, 2015). Nandy as the director of Sales and Marketing in Europe started the European operation in London as the headerquarter for Western Eurpoe and he was an Indian with the Indian and American working experiences (Wipro Technologies Europe A, 2015). As a global company, Wipro’s European sales, marketing and project management staff were exclusively Indian expatriates with a short time in Europe (Wipro Technologies Europe A, 2015). These staffs couldn’t build good relationships with the

So, you can see that there are a lot of reasons to buy the hurricane insurance. Analyzing Joe Martinez’s earnings (175 000$ annually), we can say that the total premium for $ 13 000 is quite large amount (7% of annual earnings). If we will compare this amount with his monthly earnings ($ 14 583) it is 89%. But from another point of view, his eventual losses from hurricane’s devastation maximum can be $648 390, in case of 5th and 4th categories of hurricanes. We would like to give an advice to Joe Martinez, to buy standard and wind coverage insurance for $13 000, and he should think about

even when there is considerable uncertainty or lack of data. Thus, the approach is ideal
