writes about the storm, he makes it an aggressive character. “ Hansen makes the reader feel this aggression through not only the meaning of the words but also by using sounds whether the words echo in the reader’s mind or while reading out loud. Every one of the storm’s verbs carries a hard consonant sound to make the reader feel like he got punched, “tortured… cracked… torn… socked… pounded… sucked… snapped… [and] jabbed”.

earlier. The emergencies include winter storms, tornadoes, and floods. The hazard and vulnerability analysis will focus attention on these hazards, which are highly likely to have a great impact on Atlanta, Georgia community and its facilities. Four categories will be used to place each disaster into perspective. The categories include probability, response, property impact, and human impact. For this paper, vulnerability is defined as lives, wealth, and structures that might be possibly exposed…

or organization plans on how to handle threats, hazards or disasters. Emergency management is a process that involves planning, training, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery from threats or hazards. These threats or hazards can include terrorism, fire, tornadoes, flooding etc. Emergency plans are put in place to prevent loss or damage.

I am going to assess the hazards and risks to both a staff member and a child whilst walking in a park.

During this week’s readings, you will learn about human response to hazards, disasters, emergencies, or catastrophes. For this assignment, discuss how you think you would respond to a hurricane, a terrorist incident, and a home fire.

As a resident of a hurricane prone area, we prepare by stocking up on supplies like food, water, toiletries, and…

In addition, a Kaiser Permanente Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) tool was used. The HVA tool complies hazards and the risks associated with each of them into a chart which helps to prioritize hazard mitigation planning (California Hospital Association, 2017). The results from the University Hospital HVA can be found at the end of this report. Determining Severity In order to determine the probability and severity of hazardous vulnerabilities, most likely to occur, at University Hospital, I…
