unpredicted. In emergency management, authorities in collaboration with governmental entities that have a responsibility to enforce plans, take steps to plan for potential incidents by developing an emergency operations plan (EOP). Many aspects of an EOP will depend on the locality, but the objectives remain the same; ensure preservation of life by minimizing the risk of injury and death, and protecting critical infrastructure. This paper provides an analysis of Georgia’s Emergency Operations Plan

ABSTRACT: Emergency evacuation is movement of people away from the place of accident/hazard immediately to a safer place. This results in confusion and commotion causing more harm to people in and around the place of accident/hazard. Thus, planning an emergency evacuation is a complex procedure which includes routing evacuees, identifying shelters and exits, and designing traffic control. During such catastrophic events, the evacuation routing models are vital to the evacuation planning problems

On august 29th at 2:30 in the morning a fire broke out by highway 190, east of Springville. The cause of the Pier fire is human caused but is still under investigation; New research shows that humans are the cause of 84% of all wildfires. As of september 18 it has burnt 36,556 acres and is at 95% containment, the estimated containment date is september 20th 12:00 am. And at 10:00am september 18th Tulare County officials lifted all evacuation orders for the Pier Fire, and Highway 190 is now open

The four phases of comprehensive emergency management includes mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. All four phases are intrusive of each other as there cycles work together to better prepare a community for harmful events whether it be from nature itself or manmade. There are many details and actions that must take place to keep a good active emergency management program. A failure in any one the four cycles could spell disaster for all of a community or part of. Plans have to start

The use of scenarios in emergency planning as an exploratory tool would let emergency planners be able to explore and anticipate needs generated by the scenarios. So, having an assortment in possible outcomes, in conjunction with an assessment of emergency resources designed to answer the question of whether there are sufficient and appropriate to match the anticipated need. The more bizarre the scenario, the better ‘experienced’ the emergency planners would be if that scenario did

Stockpiling food and water, building shelters to help them survive, such as an underground bunker, are other measures taken. The song and music video Survivalism by Trent Reznor explores the idea of a future society that has reached

from floods. Therefore, let’s first discuss the provisions of the NFIP, its benefits, consequences of repetitive loss, the status of sustainability, and potential changes to the program in the near future. The NFIP is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and insurance policies are available to those located within a designated flood zone and a participating community (FEMA, 2017). However, though administered by FEMA potential enrollees can only obtain a policy through their

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) was presented in March 2004, and is a structure for sorting out reaction on a national scale. It requires utilization of the Incident Command System (ICS) and speaks to a center arrangement of convention, standards, wording, and hierarchical procedures to empower viable, effective, and shared occurrence administration at all levels of reaction. NIMS depend on a harmony in the middle of adaptability and institutionalization. The National Response Framework

Data obtained by assessing social vulnerability must be implemented within each phase of the emergency management process; mitigation, response, and recovery. First, to effectively respond and recover from incidents emergency management agencies must concentrate on the mitigation phase to prevent incidents from happening in the first place. This is achieved through a thorough hazard/vulnerability analysis (HVA). This type of analysis assesses the risk of physical, economic, and social vulnerability

actions which can efficiently mitigate loss of life and property damage that an emergency manager should advice risk area households to take or get the permission from elected officials (e.g., mayor, county governor) to activate (Lindell and Perry, 1992; Kim et al., 2006; Barnhill, 2013). There has been many studies indicated the PARs options in an emergency. For example, Barnhill (2013) specified that ten PARs an emergency managers should take into considerations when an incident occurred. They are:
