Personal Experience With Ebola
I enjoyed your post! When disaster strikes it can undoubtley cause a wave of sheer panic to be relinquished if those who are in charge of protecting the public are bilious as to where to start to get things under control. Espically if that disaster is unique in the fact that it have never ever been experienced before. That perfect example would be the United States own personal experience with Ebola in 2014. The first case was confirmed by the CDC,2014. One of the best and most crucial componets of a disaster preparation plan is communication above anything else. Effective communication helps reduce conflitics, mistakes, and allows for understanding of clear direction which is all very important when it comes to dealing with issues of this

    Disaster in Franklin County

    In the first few hours following a disaster there are many things that need to be addressed. In the scenario presented, one of the initial messages that must be presented is water safety. Informing the public on the rationale of why their water is unsafe is important in helping them understand the necessity of boiling it before use to prevent illness. Also informing them of where they can obtain a safe water supply is crucial. The availability of temporary shelters and housing is also important in the first hours and days following the storm since many people may have had to leave their homes due to flooding, loss of power, or structural damage. Making sure citizens understand the dangers posed by downed power lines and the steps they should take when encountering them is a health issue as well. Proper food storage and handling is also critical when there is a lack of power in many homes. Knowing how long food will last in an inoperable refrigerator or freezer will help prevent foodborne illness.…

    Ribbon Review

    In the presentation given by Megan Vandekerkhove she spoke about what happens when there is a natural disaster and what private sectors and the government do for these. She had an internship at the Lenawee County Health Department Emergency Preparedness, where she learned about who, what, and when things are deployed when a natural disaster or catastrophe happens. In her presentation she pointed out that since the economy has dropped there has been lots of funding that has been count down which concerns her because if something like hurricane Katrina happens again we will not have the resources to help people in need or maybe even ourselves. Her presentation was also about how you can help yourself out even without anybody help and she gave some suggested websites to visit to help people learn what the best things are to have in stock and what to do in case of a catastrophe. Also on Megan’s presentation she talked about when cuts are being made to help all of these potential disasters there are many things that it can hurt such as; increase in outbreaks of diseases and not having the best resources to help us thrive in a poor environment.…

    Pros And Cons Of Ebola

    Ebola is a world issue at this point, as leaders of public health we have the responsibility to make an example of how to handle viral outbreaks. The current ban on visas to those who have been in west Africa is not the way to do this. While some believe that banning these people from entering Canada is the best way to protect our citizens, there are several arguments against the ban. Including that the bans gives incentive for countries to hide viral outbreaks, that this gives incentive for people to travel via les documented means in order to avoid these bans, that these people can not be tracked and helped if they are found to be infected, the several effects that disregarding the WHO, the experts leading world health, can have, and the unjustified reasons for implementation [1]. I will consider both sides.…

    Communication And Crisis Paper

    Potential advantages and challenges associated with communicating within the organization and with the public and private sectors during this crisis situation. First on the agenda is to acquire the use of the Barkers Group. This particular organization has offered training to come in and help us deal with “crisis communication training and media crisis training”. The Barkers Group will teach us how to respond to television and radio criticism. We will become familiar with what to say, and most importantly what not to say. There will be questions we are not prepared to answer. We will learn how to avoid these types of situations so we won’t make matters worse. Crisis situation we are aware that every circumstance is fragile. We must be able to convey knowledge about the crisis and be able to communicate through a crisis. The Barkers Group will help us in the areas typed in the memo. A challenge that may occur is making sure the reports about the water are kept at a level of assurance and the matter is being handled. As the director of the regional Emergency Management Office the last thing I want to do is cause a panic. I am willing to give adequate information that satisfies the public and the media. My team will be doing research into finding out why and getting knowledge as to why and how our water supply was contaminated.…

    Jack Brooks

    Jack Brooks once stated that “Every disaster is an opportunity,” and he was absolutely correct. Brooks’ statement especially holds true to politicians. Politicians are in a constant struggle to gain the support of the citizens, and to be successful they need take advantage of every presented opportunity to get seen and heard by the public. Disasters stimulate fear and excitement in the public, therefore the public pays a lot of attention to them (Popkin, 25). In turn politicians are attentive to disasters, because of their ability to benefit some politicians and/or harm others, as accredited by Steven Merksamer when he said; “My biggest fear always was of not being prepared for a major disaster […] How they are handled can make or break…

    Hurricane Katrina Research Papers

    Hurricane Katrina. The World Trade Center Attacks on 9/11/01. Daily responses to critical incidents across the nation. Each of these things is a unique incident, in itself, but they all have something in common: those responding to incidents like these need to have a plan in order to be successful. Benjamin Franklin has been credited with saying, "by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. ” A good, organized plan can often mean the difference between failure and success, or even life and death. A thorough, organized plan is good, but a plan that is adaptable to almost any emergency situation is something that will be used more regularly and therefore be more likely to succeed when the time comes. Major organizations, cities, even…

    Hurricane Sandy: The Cause Of Hurricane Katrina

    Even though Hurricane Sandy was challenging to forecast, lack of proper and useful information confused the public along with a false sense of confidence, eventually leaving 70% of the population behind after evacuation orders. This sense of false confidence contributes to lack of preparation. These are lessons we as a community should have learned from Hurricane Katrina to the Gulf Oil Spill. We must take all of this information and use it to better ourselves, our community, and our future. As Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different…
