Emergency evacuation

Federal agencies failed to respond to multiple attempts by both private and public institutions to warn of the possibility of a large scale disaster spurred by a land falling hurricane. An independent study financed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and completed more than a year before Katrina, found that New Orleans was the U.S. city most susceptible to hurricane damage. FEMA elected to take no further action than to circulate the results of the report to the organization

effective, well-thought-out emergency plan civilization can be better prepared for this catastrophe. As chief of police and fire, we are imbedded with the responsibility of help and guidance to citizens during this time of crisis. Our main priorities would be evacuation, communication, public safety, and crime prevention. As chief of police and fire, we would recommend all citizens make their way to one of our military safe zones, or shelters, and wait for evacuation. We will evacuate citizens based

such as food, bottled water, and first aid kits. Also, we want to take the highest safety precautions when dealing with infected because we do not want any other to become infected so masks will be handed out for airborne diseases. To continue the evacuation process the police department will direct and lead the citizens that will travel on foot. With traveling on foot heavy firearms will be handled by the police in order to protect the citizens in case of an attack. With the firearms, some of the first

Hurricanes are among one of the most damaging forces of nature that exist in regards to a natural disaster occurring. Also, these tropical storms have potential wind speeds of over eighty miles per hour, and large amounts of rain. Hurricanes have the potential to demolish large amounts of territory. A number of safeguards have been taken long-ago, and also looking forward to the present time, even though you never really know what to expect from Mother Nature. While, some well-being measures have

The purpose of this research paper is to identify a community that is recovering from a disaster, and has decided to build and use community resilience as part of the recovery process. The community I have chosen to write about is New Orleans, as they suffered from one of the largest Hurricanes in history known as Katrina. In addition, other areas such as Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, where even affected. However New Orleans took a significant hit in regards to total destruction, death toll

In  a  health  and  social  care  setting  such  as  a hospital there are many incidents and emergencies that can  occur,  as  I  have  already  discussed  in  my  P4.  One  emergency  I  have  chosen  to  discuss  in further  detail is in the case of a ‘fire’, and the health, safety and security concerns that could arise in this situation.

In order to prepare for such a phenomenon, people can secure their homes, inform your family and make an evacuation plan, and purchase enough supplies to prepare for the worst. Hurricanes produce an astronomical amount of wind and rain which can create massive damage. There are numerous things we can do to help prevent some of the catastrophic damage. First

question some if not many people have is "Can I be charged and/or arrested for failing to heed a mandatory evacuation order. The answer is yes, but not likely. In North Carolina for example, the governor can “Direct and compel the evacuation of all, or part of the population from any stricken or threatened area within the state during a state of emergency". "Anyone who violates an evacuation order can be charged with a class 2 misdemeanor, which can be punishable by up to 30 days of confinement,

advance. Do not wait until the last minute to do your research. Many rescue organizations also have pet shelters that operate during a disaster. Check on the requirements that these locations may have. Contact the hotels and motels along your planned evacuation route on their policies about pets and the restrictions on size, number and types of pets.
