Abstract
This paper provides a clear understanding of two main disaster response initiatives: the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program and the State Media Social Sites. To a great extent, the paper discusses the benefits of both programs, and the inherent barriers that affect the delivery of the outcomes envisioned by the framers of the two initiatives. As it shall be seen in the paper, both programs were necessitated by Hurricane Katrina. Despite the minor flaws in the workings of the two programs, the initiatives are a major leap from the past and they have set the bar higher for future disaster response ...

The article by Sabrina McCormick (2015) focuses on the role and responsibility of emergency managers in using social media for formal response in case of a disaster. The article also gives detailed insights about crowdsourcing for emergency managers in disaster preparedness as well as response and recovery in the US. Different emergency managers from across the country are usually scheduled for qualitative interviews on the Eastern seaboard. This is a new way of ensuring that the emergency managers are up-to-date with the current emergency management tools. Emergency management tools are in a state of transition in this current era; ...

Emergency nursing deals with a wide range of responsibilities due to the diverse number of patients with unique illness. This profession tends to be dynamic because one is required to make every patient comfortable and well taken care of. One of the key responsibilities to many nurses is having a sense of humor, which helps in lightening the tension between the nurse and the patient. Thus, this paper will examine and analyze three articles that discuss the importance of nurses visiting new born babies, the relevance of elders seeking more health care than other ages, and the significance of burses having a ...

The fourth chapter of the book: Introduction to Homeland security: Principles of All-Hazards Response, is interesting in that it deals with homeland security. Homeland security is a general term used to refer to the efforts by the U.S. to avert terrorist attacks within its borders, minimize its susceptibility to terrorism and reduce the damage resulting from the attacks which do occur. This concept emerged as a consequence of the reorganization of several US government institutions in 2003 to establish the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This reorganization was informed by the September 11, 2001 attacks; with the goal of ...

Nurses' Experiences of Ethical Preparedness for Mass Health Emergencies and Healthcare Disasters: A Systematic Review of Qualitative Evidence
Healthcare ethics has been of higher importance as long as healthcare practice has existed. It is first necessary to explain that healthcare ethics is regarded as moral principles that are commonly considered as allowable and reasonable by the society. However, in spite of a universally stable set of ethical standards that direct the healthcare industry, there are many cases of these values on the verge of being violated. For instance, it is extremely possible that a medical worker will face an ...

There are countless social problems in countries all around the world, but arguably there are more in developing countries, such as those in Africa. Furthermore, what can begin as a problem caused by nature, such as a drought, can soon become a social problem with many facets. In her article, East Africa Food Crisis 2011, Shah describes how the worst food crisis is taking place in East Africa, namely in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. Published on July 31, 2011, on the Global Issues website, the piece explains how in spite of consecutive futile rains, the emergency has been assessed as unnecessary and ...

In her article, “East Africa Food Crisis 2011,” Shah describes how the worst food crisis is taking place in East Africa, namely in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. Published on July 31, 2011, on the Global Issues website, the piece explains how in spite of consecutive futile rains, the emergency has been assessed as unnecessary and man-made, as the situation had been foreseen numerous months prior by a global early warning system. Both international and local governments have been blamed for taking little action in the approach to this emergency. Furthermore, high food prices have caused many people to not be ...

Organizations serving the public should have a well-defined disaster management plan, which ensures potential disasters are identified and countered before they happen. Structuring the emergency services effectively ensures that the consequences of disasters are duly minimized, and people who would be planning to attack a given facility draws back. According to Kim (2014), organizations such as hospitals should ensure that collaboration of all departments should be highly acknowledged since emergency control department cannot singularly handle disasters in the entire hospital without reinforcement from other departments. It is, therefore, important that every stakeholder or employee in the hospital be taken ...

Integrating Hospitals into Community Emergency.

Article review
The contemporary terrorist attacks and natural disasters necessitate the complete scheme for response measures to be carefully examined. The hospitals and their integration to the whole response process are considered the weakest link. Therefore a special attention has to be paid to this particular section of the planning of the response process.
In the article Integrating Hospitals into Community Emergency the authors evaluate the role of the hospital personnel in the counteractions to disasters and the way the hospitals have to react according to the disaster’s type and location. The mechanism of an effective response ...

The deliberate hostile activity to cause physical harm or mass killing of a targeted population in places like schools, workplaces, places of worship, public gathering is a Hybrid Targeted Violence (HTV). The places of gathering where people have least option to shield themselves are the preferred locations for an HTV action. The weapons used in this kind of violence may be the conventional firearms or other explosive devices. These incidents of atrocity have multi-threat, and often go against the conventional procedural strategies of the relevant agencies of public safety to initiate a rescue or counter the violence. The initial moments are very ...

The economic crisis that hit the global economy in 2008 is often compared to the Great Depression. The crisis has caused hundreds of thousands of small tragedies, depriving people of homes and livelihoods. Knowing about the events that occurred in the last century, one could not help drawing an analogy with the current global financial crisis. All began in the United States, again everything started with the financial sector and then spread to the real economy, the stock market collapsed, consumer demand plummeted, unemployment increased drastically, money devalued. Although the past events are reminiscent of the current situation, are ...

Article Review: Modern Leadership Theories in Criminal Justice

This article discusses three modern theories of leadership: trait theory, style theory, and situational leadership theory. Out of the three leadership theories, the author, Caol McKinney favors the situational leadership theory. I disagree. I favor the trait theory. Let me explain why.

Trait theory assumes that good leaders have certain traits in common. I agree. Good leaders have the following traits: the ability to understand and work with a wide variety of personalities, the ability to organize work and people, and the ability to know their own strengths and weaknesses. Knowing their own strengths and weaknesses is important when it ...

Sample and Setting
The researchers employed purposive sampling which is the most appropriate to use in a qualitative study. They considered the family members of elderly patients and chose those who they judged would be best able to relate their experiences in the ED. They made sure that different age groups, gender, and civil status were represented. The authors did not set a sample size beforehand and is also appropriate in a qualitative study because sample representativeness is not based on the size but on how much participant narratives mirror reality (Everest, 2014). As ...

A study published in Current Psychiatric Reports in 2016 approached the topic of the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after incidences of trauma (Qi, Gevonden and Shalev). The link to the article is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4723637/. PTSD as a result of various types of traumas may result in different levels of disability. As methods of recognition improve, the numbers of diagnosed PTSD sufferers continue to rise. Subsequently, the research exploring causes, prevention, and treatment has become the most widely addressed post-traumatic topic and has evolved into an actual PTSD psychopathology. However, treatment options remain inconsistent for application. The article by ...

In a paper with the title “The Culture of Medicine and Racial, Ethnic, and Class Disparities in Healthcare” by Good, Good, and Becker on page 594, researchers noted the disparities in healthcare. One of the most surprising things is that there are many kinds of disparities in the healthcare, when patients actually require more care without discrimination. Another thing that surprised me was that the healthcare workers have to perform their work as immediately as possible, especially in the emergency department, and in doing this thing, they often have to ignore the interaction with patients. Moreover, ...

The police department suffices for general purposes of law enforcement. However, the organization and staff levels often depend on various activities. For instance, New York Police service oversees more activities in comparison to City of Cumberland Police department which oversees lesser activities. In York, the staff level surpasses five hundred while Cumberland only has fifty officers with four personnel officers.
New York police are organized functionally with internal departments including neighborhood association, York County gang prevention, police alert network, and police community service. On the other hand, in Cumberland the staff is organized in three broad categories which ...
