...from, disasters. FEMA also coordinates federal emergency management activities and planning for the continuity of government should national security be threatened. Since 1979 FEMA has administered a range of authorities that enable the agency to serve as the primary source of federal technical and financial assistance for emergency management. Among the types of aid provided through FEMA programs are grants and material to help disaster victims meet pressing needs such as food and shelter, education and training programs to improve the response capabilities of nonfederal officials, and mobile communications equipment. FEMA exercises little regulatory authority, but directives that underlie the agency’s mission authorize the agency to establish standards for reconstruction of buildings after a disaster declaration is issued, for the construction of federal buildings in earthquake-prone areas, and for the operation of first responder equipment. FEMA has responded to, and has helped communities prepare for, terrorist attacks in the United States. The Office of Homeland Security (OHS), established by President Bush subsequent to the attacks in 2001, has a similar, but more encompassing, mission related to disasters caused by terrorist actions. Congressional debate on the contours and framework for federal administration of homeland security might include...

...Security System Security System, any of various means or devices designed to guard persons and property against a broad range of hazards, including crime, fire, accidents, espionage, sabotage, subversion, and attack. Most Security System emphasize certain hazards. The principal security concerns are shoplifting and employee dishonesty. A typical set of categories to be protected includes the personal safety of people in the organization, such as employees, customers, or residents; tangible property, such as the plant, equipment, finished products, cash, and securities, such as highly classified national-security information or “proprietary” information (e.g., trade secrets) of private organizations. An important distinction between a security and protection system and public services such as police and fire departments is that the former employs means that emphasize passive and preventive measures. Security systems are found in a wide variety of organizations, ranging from government agencies and industrial plants to apartment buildings and schools. Sufficiently large organizations may have their own proprietary security systems or may purchase security services by contract from specialized security organizations. The origins of security systems are obscure, but techniques for protecting the household, such as the use of locks and barred windows, are very ancient. As civilizations developed, the distinction between passive and active security was recognized, and responsibility...

...Wall Street Financial Crisis Student’s Name Institution Date Paper Draft Introduction Background of the crisis. The effects and impact of the financial crisis. Results of preliminary reports. Sociological perspective of financial crisis The aspect of sociology in financial crises Senate’s investigative report The key players and their roles Why the workers remained unknowing The sociological explanation of the unpredictability of the crisis Conclusion Introduction The Financial Crisis of 2008 was described by economists, analysts and even sociologist as the worst and most devastating economic crisis since the 1930s Great Depression. It threatened a total collapse of huge financial institutions, banks bailout by governments, and major downturns in security's exchange around the world characterized this dark economic year. The housing sector in many areas in the world t also suffered, with the result being forced and unnoticed evictions (Coxe, 2005). Many people lost their jobs and there was a prolonged unemployment leading to family crisis and debts. Key businesses including banks failed and there was a huge decline in the consumer profits. The small unsecured financial institutions suffered the worst ever insolvency resulting from bank runs that characterized this period. The declines in consumer wealth were estimated in trillions of U.S. dollars. All these activities took a very short active phase, manifested as a liquidity crisis, and dated from August 9...

...could be a global crisis soon. Reckless lending by banks and financial institutions and slack regulatory system were at the root of the crisis, which is perhaps the gravest since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Amid a severe credit crunch, the rich economies have entered into a deep recession. IMF economists predict the global economic growth to fall from 5.6% in 2007 to 3.9% in 2008, and to 3.0% next year. Billions of dollars pumped by the rich and the emerging economies to bail out the distressed banks or to boost their economies have failed to stop the rot. Bangladesh is apparently immune from the crisis, its economy not being very tightly linked with the rest of the world. It has been enjoying a relatively healthy growth of exports, industrial activity and remittances. Yet, a prolonged recession in the rich countries may cause a slowdown in exports, inflows of remittances, foreign aid and FDI, thereby hurting GDP growth. IMF has said that GDP growth in Bangladesh this year will be lower – 5.5% instead of the officially projected 6.5%, if the global recession lingers. Bangladesh policy makers will need to stay alert to the possibility of the economy being hit by the global slump and adopt appropriate mitigating measures.] Introduction The United States economy is now experiencing a severe credit crunch (falling availability of credit), which is the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The crisis that originated from plunging house prices...

...IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES ON THE GROWTH OF THE INDIAN ECONOMY Submitted by: Kriti Bhardwaj Date: 1st December, 2010 1 ABSTRACT The most contentious global debate today is the obligations of the developed and the developing countries to take steps to reduce their carbon footprint. Though climate change is a danger for all countries-developed and developing alike, the quantum of responsibility for mitigating climate change is a debatable issue. There is a perceived divide between the obligations of the two worlds in which our planet is divided. The source of virtually all past emissions i.e. the developed world has a greater responsibility to take steps to reduce their carbon emissions substantially and help in stabilizing the environment which they disturbed to a large extent. This is the reason why they are subjected to binding targets of reducing their emissions by a set amount in all international agreements. However, the developing world is gearing towards development at a very fast pace and all development and industrialization pre-supposes the need of higher emissions. Due to this, the emission levels of this part of the world are bound to increase even more rapidly. Mitigating climate change in developing countries poses a fundamental challenge. For developing nations as a whole...

...from your organization. Industrial spies may try to steal a company’s secret plans for a new product. Cyber-terrorists with political or religious motivations may attack an organization or government with which they disagree. Amateur hackers may access systems to plant their virtual flag and earn merit badges in the hacker community. Occasionally, bored teenagers may hack into a system just to prove they can. Cybercrimes have a direct impact on privacy. An organization’s failure to adequately protect information can lead to disaster, so the necessity for good data security is absolute, and a fiduciary responsibility of corporate management. However, even though data security and privacy have a relationship, the concept and practice of data security is generally geared toward restricting data access. This restriction does not automatically safeguard the privacy of users. If organizational policies on the use or sale of sensitive information are not appropriate, privacy problems can still surface, even though the information and technology are secure. In many ways, IT security specialists are at a disadvantage in their struggle against hackers. Attackers can mount assaults at their leisure, and can choose their targets at will. IT workers don’t enjoy the same luxury—they can never let their guard down, and must keep their systems secure at all times. The adverse impact of a hacking attack or intrusion can be described in terms of the following losses:...

...number of countries experiencing significant banking problems has increased substantially in recent years - hitting industrial and developing countries alike - and the high costs and macroeconomic disruptions caused by banking crises have become a matter of increasing concern to the international financial community. Not since the Great Depression of the 1930's have so many banks failed as in the 1980's and the 1990's. A recent survey by the International Monetary Fund reported banking problems in 131 of its 181 member countries over this period, ranging from outright systemic crises to isolated causes of failing banks. We all remember the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in 1990. There was the much publicised savings and loan debacle in the United States which cost some $150 billion. In Latin America, banks in four countries - Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina - have recently had to struggle with crises of varying degrees of severity. The Scandinavian countries have also had their fair share of problems. In addition to these, there have been some very serious individual problems such as the collapse in February, 1995, of Britain's Barings Bank under the weight of ill-advised derivative deals carried out by a rogue trader. We recall. also the case of Credit Lyonnais, a state owned French Bank, which ran up losses of some...

...grew from a natural gas pipeline company into a trading and marketing giant, moving first into the business of acting as a broker between energy suppliers and buyers, then expanding its role as a broker of non-energy transactions, and later adding a variety of diverse investments to its portfolio. Enron was a leading advocate of restructuring energy markets in the United States and the largest player in the energy trading business. What led to Enron’s collapse? The company’s most recent troubles can be traced to revelations in October 2001 of massive amounts of unreported debt and steep losses incurred in non-energy and oversees energy partnerships established between Enron and other companies. In accounting arrangements now under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Enron for several years had kept the debt and losses off its balance sheet. When these losses and the level of debt became known, the marketplace lost confidence in Enron; shareholders sold the stock and credit agencies slashed the company’s credit ratings. In addition, domestic trading partners required increasing amounts of collateral due to Enron’s impaired credit-worthiness. This drained Enron’s cash reserves, forcing them to take on more debt, creating a death spiral. By the end of November 2001, credit agencies had downgraded Enron’s debt to “junk” status and shareholder selling had driven stock prices from a 2000 high of nearly $90 to less than a dollar. When a proposed merger...
