...Communication and Crisis Paper HCS/320 Dr. Patricia Bird April 22, 2013 The nuclear reactor that malfunctioned, in the Three Mile Island created a release of radiation into the environment which caused a crisis. It drew a lot of media and created concerns in the local area and beyond. A traditional form of technology can be used to notify the public, television networks and local radio stations were used. Compared to the crisis that took place in 2005, Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the New Orleans area, immersing many parts of the city under water causing trauma to families, the strategy for communication used was the internet, which reached a greater number of the public in less time. As a director of a regional Emergency Management office if I were to start receiving official reports that the public water supplies of several towns in the area have become contaminated with a life-threatening biological agent, the strategy I would use to start a contingency plan that would address my organization and the public without creating panic would be to send an immediate email to all staff to attend an emergency, mandatory meeting. Employees who are unable to attend because of emergency situations will have access to videoconference. I would get one our communication specialist in the company to give a presentation reminding our organization’s staff of our organization’s emergency policies and procedures in the event of...

Sanjay Rafati 1 had been hired as a financial officer the previous month, in November 2011. In view of the company’s strict ethical code, he was nervous about expressing his point of view, which was why he wanted to see Ms. Mangal in private: “The situation in one of the states where ZHL operates is getting critical. Unless the government pays what it owes us immediately, we will not be able to make payroll. We won’t be able to service...

...adopted its Model Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility ("Model Code") to delineate the principles for ethics and conduct to which every paralegal should aspire. Many paralegal associations throughout the United States have endorsed the concept and content of NFPA's Model Code through the adoption of their own ethical codes. In doing so, paralegals have confirmed the profession's commitment to increase the quality and efficiency of legal services, as well as recognized its responsibilities to the public, the legal community, and colleagues. Paralegals have recognized, and will continue to recognize, that the profession must continue to evolve to enhance their roles in the delivery of legal services. With increased levels of responsibility comes the need to define and enforce mandatory rules of professional conduct. Enforcement of codes of paralegal conduct is a logical and necessary step to enhance and ensure the confidence of the legal community and the public in the integrity and professional responsibility of paralegals. In April 1997 NFPA adopted the Model Disciplinary Rules ("Model Rules") to make possible the enforcement of the Canons and Ethical Considerations contained in the NFPA...

...The “Three Mile” Island drew concerns and attracted of media coverage in its surrounding areas and beyond. It released toxic radiation into the environment causing a crisis. The most traditional forms of spreading media can be used to get the information out for this crisis, unlike in 2005 Hurricane Katrina where, it reached for beyond Louisiana and even America because more advanced technology was used for notifying the public, which was the Internet. In this paper, the reader will learn how to communicate as a group during a major crisis, the ways to communicate, and who to contact during the disaster. As the director of a regional Emergency Management, I begin to receive authorized reports that there was a contamination of a fatal-if-consumed chemical in the public’s water supply in several cities in an area under my jurisdiction. The strategy I used to start a contingency plan that would address the situation at hand as well as my organization and the public without causing media frenzy and a state of hysteria, and e-mails for staff immediately to attend an emergency meeting. Those employees who cannot make the mandatory meeting will be given access to the meeting via video conference or webcast. I would contact one of our company’s communication specialists to give a presentation reiterating the organization’s emergency protocol in the case of disasters. This discussion will...

...Policing Functions Policing Functions Policing functions are learning from experience, these functions follow current policing functions as well as those from the past. Policing functions at any level, whether it is local, state, or federal can be difficult at times because each level was made by someone or a few individuals carrying out their own ideas and responding to the circumstances that were present at that time. The way the police agencies are functioning now still needs improvement, but it has improved from the way they were functioning in the past. “Law enforcement in the United States is a large and extremely complex enterprise. There are almost 18,000 federal, state, and local agencies, along with a private security industry that employs over a million additional people” (Walker & Katz, 2008). Policing agencies implement many functions in order to protect society. Law enforcement agencies are responsible for maintaining the peace, preventing crime, and to provide the public with a service. These agencies are split up into local, state, and federal levels. These levels can work together, but they mainly work independently from the each other. Even though they may work together, each level has its very own set of responsibilities, techniques, and guidelines. Before society can understand how policing function has changed, society needs to understand what policing function means and how police functions came about. Police functions were identified by Goldstein...

...There are many risks and threats to emergency responders when responding to terrorist events. With such a variety of types of terrorist attacks that first responders need to know how to properly respond to, there is a lot of knowledge and training needed for each type of situation. They need to be prepared to handle conventional large scale explosive attacks and small explosive devices that are easily mobile, such as what was used in the Boston Marathon bombings. There is also the risk of when responding to an explosive attack, of a secondary explosive attack aimed to injure the first responders on site. “Secondary explosive devices may also be used as weapons against responders and the public in coincident acts” (Managing the Emergency Consequences of Terrorist Incidents, 2002, pg. 13). These secondary explosive attacks could also be used as diversionary methods to keep first responders from helping the injured. The goal of explosive devices is to cause an explosion and/ or a fire. This presents another threat to first responders, as they are now...

...In this report I am going to analyse the importance of inter-agency emergency planning for major incidents It is very important that public services work together and plan how to deal with major incidents, because it makes their job more efficient. They can get the job done quicker, because they know their roles and responsibilities, so not messing around, but doing their duties and run smoothly at the scene. Planning gives them opportunity to get more training so they will know their roles even better so it makes their job easier and safer as they will get some experience in some kind of situations. They will have knowledge how it could look in real major incident, so they would not get stressed so much if they are newly employed. Also it saves some money when dealing with major incidents as they will be better in their roles, because of training through planning. Another benefit is that because of planning, they would know what equipment they are responsible for and they will bring it to the scene so when it will be needed, they will have it. The first responding agency is always Police and they are responsible for sending other agencies to the scene, protecting the scene – setting cordons around. Inner cordon - operational command – officers that deals with the incident at the scene. Outer cordon - tactical command - creates tactics for operational command how to deal with the incident. Lack of organisations means that they would not be sure what their roles are, they would...

...Economic Systems: Which is the Best and How is the Public Effected by the Cost Intro into Business and Technology DeVry University Economic Systems: Which is the Best and How is the Public Effected by the Cost In our textbook, Bovee and Thill (2012) define economics as the study of how a society uses it scarce resources to produce and distribute goods and services. Within economics, you can find economic systems and how they work for society. A variety of economic systems exist around the world. Each system is defined by the policies of a particular society’s structure. The best system for a society is based upon the necessary core principles that fulfill the needs of said society. The three major systems are communism, socialism, and capitalism. So let’s answer three questions about economics and its systems. Which economic system is best suited for handling a crisis of epic proportions and why? Why might a socialist system be the best in responding to the needs of people struck by an emergency situation? Why is the cost to heat our homes and businesses higher in the winter season? Socialism is arguably the best suited economic system for handling a crisis of epic proportions such as a hurricane, flood, blizzard, etc. Socialism can be defined as an economic system consisting of socially owned production used for the needs of the society’s citizens and does not include generating profits. It is true that all economic systems have their strengths and weakness relating...

...P6- Explain the main considerations when planning and preparing for major incidents M4- Explain the role of the organisations involved in planning for major incidents The purpose of emergency planning is to provide an integrated response to major incidents with a view to bringing about a successful end to an incident. Planning and preparation for emergencies and possible major incidents forms a large part of the work of the emergency services and other public services. Emergency plans are drawn up so that, in the event of a major incident, the public services can respond efficiently because they are prepared for it. In this assignment I will be explaining the main considerations when planning and preparing for major incidents and also the role of the organisations involved in planning for major incidents. When planning for an emergency personnel should; * Know their roles- This means that the person knows what they are required to do * Be competent to carry out the task- This means they are able to carry out their job efficiently and with little guidance. * Have access to resources- They have all the equipment they need to be able to do their job. * Have confidence in other responders- This means that everyone in the team has confidence that everyone in the team is competent at their role. When emergency planning is undertaken by category 1 responders, a great deal of thought is given to identifying possible risks. A risk is a hazard or threat that could cause...

...ability to demonstrate the correct attitude when responding to emergencies. The exemptions in place for Emergency Drivers include; treating a red traffic light as give way, passing to the right of a keep left bollard, driving on a motorway hard shoulder (including against direction of the traffic) and disobey the speed limit. There is training that is undertaken in the uniformed public services to allow people to drive under Emergency conditions In the Police; the basic DSA (driving standards authority) standards as well as own driving centres where police are trained and graded (in accordance to national training standards approved by the association of chief police officers). There are different types of driver training e.g. standard, advanced and pursuit (advanced and pursuit receive intense training). In the Fire; the basic DSA standards as well as own driving centres standards (standards set by the fire authority). A LGV (large good vehicle) licence must be held to drive an emergency fire appliance as well as further training and assessment. In the Ambulance; the basic DSA standards plus a C1 and D1 licence (C1; medium size vehicle, D1; mini bus), some authorities also require a LGV licence. Driver training assessment is usually done by independent driving training standards. The importance of responding safely to emergency incidents as an emergency driver is to ensure the safety of themselves and the general public. It is also important to respond safely to emergency...

...fuelled violence has not been taken seriously by police or the public. Critically discuss and include in your answer at least one policing strategy for addressing this problem. Alcohol fuelled violence ‘has’ been taken seriously by police and public in recent years. The introduction of new strategies, zero tolerance and community awareness have all helped towards fixing the problem. Unfortunately there is strong evidence of an association between the consumption of alcohol and violence (Graham & Homel 2008). The rates of physical and verbal abuse by a person affected by alcohol were more than twice the rate for other drug types. In addition, more than one-third of victims (38%) had consumed alcohol themselves at the time of the incident. This is consistent with evidence that shows that a significant proportion of violent offences are committed by and committed against people who have been drinking or are intoxicated (Plant, Plant & Thornton 2002). But in recent years evidence shows that the public and police have been taking alcohol-fuelled violence seriously, this is evident via strategies and new laws that are being created. The Police in Australia devote a significant amount of resources to responding to incidents involving people who are intoxicated. Recent research estimated that around 10 percent of police time was dedicated to dealing with alcohol-related incidents, of which the most common was responding to assaults (Donnelly et al 2007). Dealing with each assault takes...
