their lives will promptly return to normalcy. Nonetheless‚ no matter the size of the city‚ the local government leaders are responsible to oversee all four phases of the Emergency Management process‚ which are Preparedness‚ Response‚ Recovery and Mitigation. Furthermore‚ whenever we discuss disaster‚ the first thought that comes to mind is “Hurricane Katrina” because of the blatant misguided approach and lack of timely and effective response during this disaster recovery. But if I were to guess the

Hello today I will be telling you about volcanoes and how many active volcanoes are erupting right this very second. As you read the words above more than likely 20 volcanoes just erupted. Wow you say that’s a lot just hear some of the other crazy volcanic subjects you hear about. It’ll BLOW your mind !!!. So in the text above you can tell that volcanoes are pretty dangerous and pretty crazy. You might ask how many times does one year? You might say well it can’t erupt that often. Well if you

With reference to Beijing‚ assess the short term and long term effectiveness of the mitigation measures taken to reduce smog (20). Consider air quality management‚ traffic controls‚ vehicle emission controls‚ zoning of industry and increased use of public transport. Pollution causes a huge concern to people in Beijing. At the moment Beijing’s pollution level is well over the safe level that the World Health Organization has set‚ its level is almost 22 times above. Poor air quality caused by

Are Volcanoes a Blessing or Curse? Volcanoes are mountains‚ typically conical‚ where lava comes out from a magma chamber through a crater or a vent. There are two types of volcanoes; Composite and Shield. A composite volcano can be referred to as a cone volcano. These volcanoes have tall narrow cone and a wide base. Their magma chambers contain thick acidic lava‚ which means sometimes you can walk faster than the lava when it is moving! The layers of a cone volcano are usually alternated between

THE Types of volcanoes There are three types of volcanoes shield‚ cinder cones and composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are large volcanic Forms with that are broad at the top and have low‚ sloping sides. This type of volcano is caused by slow‚ basaltic lava flows. Cinder cones are cone shaped volcanoes some are no more than a few meters and others get as big as high as 610 meters sometime more. Most of the tallest volcanoes are composite volcanoes. These form from quiet eruptions of fluid lava

Hazards VOLCANOES INTRODUCTION Few things excite the imagination as much as a volcanic eruption‚ one of nature’s magnificent spectacles‚ which can result in devastating consequences. The very word “volcano” brings to mind thunderous explosions‚ rivers of fiery orange lava‚ and images of smoking destruction. The actual capacity for destruction is not overrated -- volcanic eruptions are one of the most devastating of all geologic hazards. There are about 700 potentially dangerous volcanoes in the

Global Warming and Mitigation SCI 110‚ Week 9 Assignment Professor Dr. Anderson December 8‚ 2013 Global Warming and Mitigation Is our environment being compromised from excessive use of different chemicals? This is the question that has been the ground for major debate for many years‚ is our advancements causing global warming? When debating global warming the first thing to consider is what the cause of global warming is‚ and the answer to this basic question is greenhouse

Mitigation Techniques: 1. Establish a Wireless Security Policy. Gartner study shows that security risks are more from internal users than from external users. Many a time people creates security risks to network simply because of ignorance. While securing a wireless network‚ we need to create a wireless security policy and train users before they start using wireless network. The security policy should include “Acceptable uses”‚ Uses of “Antivirus”‚ use of “Host based Intrusion Prevention System”

Climate change mitigation is the action to reduce the intensity of radiative forcing in order to reduce the effects of global warming (IPCC‚ 2006). Climate change mitigation can be done through several means such as developing alternative energy which includes renewable and nuclear energy‚ decreasing the carbon intensity of fossil fuel through carbon capture and sequestering‚ reforestation and also simply by conserving energy. Based on the cost-benefit analysis of each methods‚ I believe that the

Mud volcanoes at Berca The mud volcanoes are situated within the area of Berca village‚ Buzau county‚ on the left bank of the Berca river. They develop in the Berca depression in several places‚ known by such names as (from south to north): “La Fierbatori”‚ “Paclele Mari”‚ “Paclele Mici”‚ “Beciu”. Access road is the Buzau-Brasov highway; at a crossroads in Satuc (a small town situated 20 km far from Buzau‚ which can be also reached by railroad) ‚ a modernized byroad leads afer 2 km to the village
