Recovery Practices in Emergency Management

Recovery Practices in Emergency Management

Written Essay Preplanning with all stakeholders is a key element in successful long-term recovery following a disaster. Understanding the potential types of debris that may follow an event is integral to planning for how it may be transported, where it will be stored, and how it will ultimately be removed from the community. This type of planning is important because it can be time consuming, expensive, and possibly dangerous to health and the environment. Choose a case study of a disaster that occurred within the past 5 years, with adequate research material prepared to support your positions. (You can use the Library, academic papers, trade journal articles, or credible news sources.) Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word essay documenting the selected disaster. Include the following components in your essay: An operational analysis describing the following components: Describe the various elements of the disaster recovery process in the disaster you chose to research. In the textbook, refer to Reference Box 4.3: Debris Management Planning Checklist as a guide. Describe the roles and responsibilities of the different typical and atypical partners in the disaster recovery process. Identify various agencies, departments, companies, or organizations and what the general responsibilities would be in short-term and long-term disaster recovery planning. Give specific examples from the case study to demonstrate how short-term and long-term disaster recovery planning was accomplished, or how it left a gap in the planning process. A sustainable approach (pp. 48-53 of the text) with consideration to the following: Quality of life Economic viability Social equity Environmental quality Disaster resilience A summary of the ethical aspects of disaster recovery: What are the ethical issues in the case study that you selected?

Analysis of UK legal framework for the prevention of anti-competitive market positions

Analysis of UK legal framework for the prevention of anti-competitive market positions

In this dissertation, I will be researching whether the current legal framework (in England and Wales) has proved effective in preventing the formation of anti-competitive market positions, and whether the digital revolution could pose new challenges for the Competition and Market Authority.

As such, I will be first analysing the UK groceries market, which has historically been controlled by only a few dominant firms (Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons). This analysis will constitute the starting point which will then be used to evaluate whether the current anti-competition laws are adequate in preventing potential dominant market positions and monopolies in the digital sphere. As such, in the first section I will engage in a comparative analysis of the CMA’s approval of Tesco’s acquisition of food wholesaler Booker in 2017 (for £3.7bn), with the ongoing proposed merger between Sainsbury’s and Asda. In the second section, I will analyse the present threat of dominant market positions in the digital world, and whether it could be necessary to develop a new digital regulatory authority to effectively tackle the possible future formation of monopolies which could eventually damage the consumer.

You improvement plan must incorporate at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.

Ethics and Computer Science: Monitoring of employees’ web use and email

 

Paper details:

Identify the position or side for your selected topic and present potential ethical issues/problems. Your paper must have the topic and position explicitly articulated in your paper’s introduction. You must (1) identify, comprehend, and resolve ethical issues/problems and their ramifications in a thorough and responsible manner, (2) describe the historical and cultural contexts of the issue, (3) determine the legal issues associated with the case study. A guide of potential ethical issues that could be addressed in a term paper: #1: Under laws in Germany that protect the privacy of criminals who have served their sentence, a murderer took legal action to force Wikipedia to remove its article about his case. Discuss the conflict between privacy and freedom of speech raised by the case. Which side would you take? #2: Does the control that large companies such as Google have over Internet search results represent a threat to Freedom of Speech? #3: It was recently discovered that Facebook employees sat in the offices of one of the Presidential candidates to guide them in crafting political ads to take advantage of Facebook’s software that targets audiences. Discuss whether this is ethical, legal, or morally acceptable. Should the service have been supplied to all candidates? #4: Should hacking attacks sanctioned by other governments be considered an act of war? How should the Federal Government respond to hacking attacks that affect our military capability? #5. Someone hacks into your computer and steals a great deal of personal information from you BUT you do not have anti-virus software, the network you have in your home is not password protected, and your computer is not locked with a password. Is the person that stole the information breaking the law if you do not take steps to preserve your information? #6. While you are in a classroom at the University, new technology has given the Faculty teaching the class in the classroom the ability to see the content on the screen of your computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone. This was done because faculty have started seeing students distracted during class by electronic devices. Discuss whether this is an invasion of privacy or if a student does not have an expectation of privacy in a classroom.

Change management plan

Now that the VP of HR has been briefed on the results of your focus group, she has asked you to work with Leroy to prepare a change management plan that could be used at Red Carpet. Leroy thinks it is important to use a set of steps from an established change model to guide the change process. He has recommended the OD Action Research Model,

Appreciative Inquiry, and Kotter’s 8 Step Model as potential alternatives. But, the VP of HR wants to know all of the details, so Leroy has decided to partner with you to give a presentation to the VP of HR and make decision-making a collaborative effort. She is also concerned about the potential resistance to change at Red Carpet, so Leroy thinks it’s important to cover this in the presentation as well. Review the Red Carpet scenario for this course and prepare a 4 slide PowerPoint presentation that describes your change management recommendations, including the following: In your opinion, which one of the following change models will be best for Red Carpet’s change process: the OD Action Research Model,

Appreciative Inquiry, or Kotter’s Eight Step Model? What are the set of steps of the model you chose? What are the pros and cons of the model you chose? Considering the organizational culture of Red Carpet, how will the organization use communication to overcome resistance to change? 88Please include speaker notes of at least 210 per slide. also the slide count does not include title and reference slides (6 total if this are included)
