Comparative Approaches to Event Management

Response Challenges to Natural and Man-Made Disasters
You are the emergency manager in your community. Your city manager has directed you to act as a subject matter expert and provide the city’s webmaster with material (400–600 words) that thoroughly discusses which types of natural and man-made disasters you think are the most significant or troublesome for emergency managers. In addition, your city manager wants to ensure that the citizens have access to the most up-to-date information about disaster response. The city council would like to have a bond election next year and hopes that your information will garner support for the issue.
Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
What type of natural hazard do you think is the most significant or troublesome to emergency managers? Why?
What type of man-made hazard do you think is the most significant or troublesome to emergency managers? Why?
What do you think are the most significant specific response challenges associated with the hazards that you selected? Explain.

“Those Winter Days”

For this assignment, I want you to provide your interpretation of a “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden and explain your viewpoints. That is, what do you believe the author was intending when he wrote the poem? What did they want their audience to feel or reflect on?
You can analyze each stanza and mention specific lines of the poem, or, if it is a shorter poem, you could go line-by-line. Be sure that you are providing support for your interpretation. For instance, if I believe that the snow represents the innocence and purity of Shelly Williams Jackson, then I will support this notion with evidence from the text (line(s) from the poem).

This essay should be 2-4 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman font, 12 pt font, black color font, and 1 inch margins on all sides.

Disaster Response Challenges

Natural hazards are hazards that exist in the natural environment and pose a threat to human populations and communities. Examples include floods (the most frequently occurring), hurricanes, tsunamis, sea surges, earthquakes, tornadoes, freezes, blizzards, extreme cold, forest fires, drought, and range infestation (inordinate numbers of insects).
Technological hazards are hazards originating from technological or industrial conditions, including accidents, dangerous procedures, infrastructure failures, or specific human activities. They may cause loss of life, injury, illness, or other health impacts; property damage; loss of livelihoods and services; social and economic disruption; or environmental damage. Examples include such events as epidemics or pandemics, pollution, utilities failures, radiological accidents, nuclear waste disposal spills, toxic substances, hazardous materials accidents, explosions, and urban fires.

• Do you believe that the physician’s actions can be justified in any way?

Autonomy
Autonomy essentially means “self rule,” and it is a patient’s most basic right. As such, it is a health care worker’s responsibility to respect the autonomy of her patients. However, at times this can be difficult because it can conflict with the paternalistic attitude of many health care professionals. The following two cases address patient autonomy. The first involves the rights of an individual to decide her own fate, even against her physicians’ judgments. The second case involves the rights of a parent to care for her child in the manner that she sees fit.
CASE # 4
A woman enters the emergency room with stomach pain. She undergoes a CT scan and is diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a weakening in the wall of the aorta, which causes it to stretch and bulge (this is very similar to what led to John Ritter’s death). The physicians inform her that the only way to fix the problem is surgically, and that the chances of survival are about 50/50. They also inform her that time is of the essence, and that should the aneurysm burst, she would be dead in a few short minutes. The woman is an erotic dancer; she worries that the surgery will leave a scar that will negatively affect her work; therefore, she refuses any surgical treatment. Even after much pressuring from the physicians, she adamantly refuses surgery. Feeling that the woman is not in her correct state of mind and knowing that time is of the essence, the surgeons decide to perform the procedure without consent. They anesthetize her and surgically repair the aneurysm. She survives, and sues the hospital for millions of dollars.

Questions for Case # 4
• Do you believe that the physician’s actions can be justified in any way?
• Is there anything else that they could have done?
• Is it ever right to take away someone’s autonomy? (Would a court order make the physicians’ decisions ethical?)
• What would you do if you were one of the health care workers?
• Discuss the moral & empirical judgment
• Are there any moral dilemmas?
• What are the ethical implications?

Guidelines to Write the Responses to the Case Studies
In responding to the assigned case study, I expect you to assume the frames of mind of an ethicist as follows:
1. Be judicious: read the case at least twice and then ask yourself what is at stake in the context of the parties involved.
2. Be empathetic: think about the underlying assumptions which guide the parties who are involved in the case. Then try to draw out the erroneous and correct aspects of their positions on that basis.
3. Be sensitive to the religious and cultural differences of the parties involved and attempt to reconcile any such differences in a fair and equitable fashion.
4. In making recommendations to solve the dilemma of the given case, try to be realistic and sensible to current practices, norms, and beliefs.
5. Be aware of your own cultural, religious, and social background in order to prevent it from distorting your ethical judgment.
6. Do not allow religious norms to be the sole standard of your ethical judgment.
7. Apply the golden rule; treat the case, more specifically the interests of the parties involved as you would wish your own interests to be treated.

Students will then submit their two-page summary of their analysis and ethical judgment for each of the six cases. The two-page summary must be double-spaced and use 12 size font Times New Roman.

Fundamentals of Intelligence

Intelligence Failure
You are an intelligence analyst for the Department of Homeland Security assigned to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (DHS-OIA). In light of recent threats within the United States and increasing scrutiny and criticism regarding failures within the U.S. Intelligence Community, you have been asked by senior DHS executives to provide them with an overview of the intelligence cycle. In this overview, you are to specifically detail which phase in the cycle, in your opinion, would be most susceptible to an intelligence failure and why. In addition, you have been asked to provide recommendations based on your expert experience to prevent failures in that phase.
Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
Which phase of the intelligence cycle do you feel is most susceptible to an intelligence failure? Why?
Be sure to justify your response with sufficient supporting research.
Do you think the failures have been occurring for some time, or are they relatively new developments? Explain.
What 2 recommendations can you make to the U.S. intelligence community that you feel may help in preventing those failures from occurring? Explain.
How difficult would it be to implement your proposed solutions? Why?
Which phase in the intelligence cycle do you think is the least susceptible to failure? Why?
