These arrangements comprise comprehensive plans of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery and in more recent times, of mitigation. The economic effects of disasters can be devastating and widespread. When disasters strike houses

1. Executive Summary Normal accident theory and Swiss cheese model are influential models in studying system accident causation. This paper is going to help us to gain understanding of both models and to critically compare them. The first part of the study is an introduction of the both models. In the second part, Three Mile Island nuclear accident will be taken as an example to see how the models analyse causations of an accident. In this part, the fact of the accident will be presented first, then

but is unable to tell anyone. The connection I had with this topic is that over the summer, I took a class that told us to write about a specific topic. The topic that I wrote about was the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Disaster. I heard about the Fukushima Power Plant disaster very briefly and did not realize about the effects that were caused. It is horrific to think that people are living with radioactive pollution in the air. They could die instantly from the contamination. It is very cool

capability a tornado has for destruction can create a major disaster event requiring a response from local, state and federal agencies. This paper will examine the May 22, 2011 tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri. It will identify and compare the response from local, state and federal perspective. This paper will also identify specific emergency management functions that appear executed well and those that may not have been. The Disaster May 22, 2011 a supercell thunderstorm spawned the tornado
