    Four Phases of Emergency Management

    Over the last decade the social and economic costs of disasters to the United States, and throughout the World have grown significantly. During the 1990’s, FEMA spent over $25.4 billion to provide disaster assistance in the United States. During that decade, the economic toll of natural disasters, world wide, topped $608 billion. This amounted to more than the previous four decades combined. The causes of this increase in disaster consequences are myriad. Climatalogical changes such as El Nino, global warming and sea level rise have all been identified as contributors. Add to this the many societal impacts such as increased development in and migration to identified risk zones, deforestation and clear cutting, and filling in of floodplains, among many other factors, and the picture becomes more clear.…

    Nsg/411 Earthquake Disaster Management

    Nations abroad, individuals, families and entire communities are experiencing unprecedented disasters. Disasters occur suddenly and unexpectedly, and they often cannot be prevented. A disaster is any natural or human made incident that causes disruption, destruction or devastation requiring external assistance (Stanhope & Lancaster 2014). It seems as though more and more disasters are occurring more frequent than in years past. There are two types of disasters, natural disasters as well as human-made disasters. Natural disasters are defined as unpreventable…

    Summary Of Is Anthropology Really Possible By Irrell Tsuda

    Summary Of Is Anthropology Really Possible By Irrell Tsuda

    When one thinks about anthropology, they typically imagine someone going to a far off land with indigenous people that have stark differences to their culture. This idea of studying the “other” brings up several issues such as ethnocentrism or tunnel vision in which the anthropologist must learn to set aside their own culture to accept others. In recent years, a dichotomy of this traditional method has emerged, called native anthropology. Native anthropologists study cultures and communities they already identify with, giving the entire research a different approach. Many believe that this method addresses issues of focusing too much on difference and makes it easier to connect with the subjects that anthropologists study.…

    National Disaster Recovery Framework Summary

    The National Disaster Recovery Framework is a guide that aids in efficient recovery support to the areas which are affected by the disaster. It involves collaborative involvement of the local, States, Tribes, Territorial and local jurisdictions. This Framework provides very accommodating configuration that helps disaster recovery managers to function in an integrated manner. “It also focuses on how best to restore, redevelop and revitalize the health, social, economic, natural and environmental fabric of the community and build a more resilient Nation”( National Disaster Recovery Framework, 2015). After a disaster like an earthquake a wide variety of work commences to make sure that the affected communities health, social, economic, natural…

    Emergency Management

    There are many ways to describe emergency management and the importance of the tasks emergency managers perform. Indeed, in some respects, it hardly seems necessary to explain the need for a profession whose purpose is saving lives and property in disasters. It is likely that, while many people recognize their communities are exposed to environmental threats requiring a systematic program of protection, only a few appreciate the magnitude and diversity of the threats. One can introduce the study of emergency management by noting losses from disasters—in the United States and the rest of the world—have been growing over the years and are likely to continue to grow (Berke, 1995; Mileti, 1999; Noji, 1997b). Losses can be measured in a variety of ways—with deaths, injuries, and property damage being the most common indexes. The 1995 Kobe, Japan, earthquake killed more than 6000 people and left another 30,000 injured. In the previous year, the Northridge, California, earthquake resulted in approximately $33 billion in damages. These individual events are impressive enough, but the losses are even more dramatic when accumulated over time. Between 1989 and 1999, the average natural disaster loss in the US was $1 billion each week (Mileti, 1999, p. 5). Furthermore, many costs must be absorbed by victims—whether households, businesses, or government…

    Disaster Response

    While we’re capable of preventing a few manmade disasters like terrorist attacks, and make preparations for natural disasters, we are not fully prepared until we know how to respond to disasters during and after a disaster had taken place. The initial response to most disasters is essentially the same; disasters induce both physical and psychological damage that requires significant attention. Based on the scope of a disaster and the state of emergency that follows, the response will range from the local, state, tribal and federal level…
