    Rescorla's Influence On Other Terrorist Attacks

    Uncertainty, lack of organization, destruction, chaos, and fear. All of these negative effects of various hazards can be decreased in part by adequately planning. According to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), there are three types of hazards. These three types of hazards that you can prepare for are natural, technological, and human caused hazards. Natural hazards are emergencies caused by forces extraneous to man in the elements of the natural environment. Natural hazards cannot be managed and are often interrelated. Natural hazards can occur and cause no damage to humans or the built environment; however, when a hazard and development intersect, significant damage to the built environment occurs, creating a natural disaster. Some examples of a natural hazard would be an avalanche, animal disease outbreak, drought, or an earthquake. Technological events are emergencies that involve materials created by man and that pose a unique hazard to the general public and environment. The jurisdiction needs to consider events that are caused by accident (e.g. mechanical failure, system breakdowns) or result from an emergency caused by another hazard (e.g flood, storm) or are caused intentionally. Some examples of a technological hazard would be an airplane crash, dam failure, a mining accident, or hazardous materials release. Human caused disasters are created by man, either intentionally or by accident. Examples of this type…

    Disaster Response

    A disaster brings violence, terror, and trauma, to all who experience its wrath and devastation. Destruction and suffering is the entertainment that disasters provide to its audience, through a campaign of psychological and physical damage. According to the fields of disaster psychiatry and disaster psychology, a disaster is a major ecological and psychosocial destruction that far exceeds the coping ability of a disaster area ( PTSD & Natural Disaster). There are two primary types of disasters to which we are all vulnerable; these are manmade disasters and natural disasters. Manmade disasters are created and initiated by human intent or error. Manmade disasters are often terrorist attacks, explosions, plane crashes, and negligent behaviors that provoke hazards. One of the most notorious manmade disasters happened on September 11, 2001, and it demonstrated how devastating a manmade disaster can be. Unlike manmade disasters, natural disasters are more prevalent across the world; they come in the form of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, flash floods, blizzards etc. In general, disasters will come in various forms and society must do whatever it must to prepare for, and respond to them accordingly. When it comes to reducing or even preventing the damage that disasters can inflict, we first have to prepare for them in order to respond to them.…
