Lesson from Crisis Student’s name Course code Institutional affiliation Date               Lesson from Crisis In societies and organizations, it is evident that crisis is costly from the perspectives of economic and socio-organization. Lesson from the crisis is the measures that managers should take before a specific crisis erupts and get the organization or society unaware. The crisis has brought the internet increase in the argument of organization learning in any emergency such as epidemic and pandemics, which can either be war or even natural disasters such as drought and flooding. The question now is if the managers of the organization have been able to focus on the optimistic vs pessimistic perspective and if they can learn from the crisis. Importance of this study to the manager and society is that it sheds light on the nature of learning from the perspective of crisis management. The managers must learn about the past crisis to tackle any crisis in future. This now brings the question: if the…

Natural disaster epidemiology in community health Disaster epidemiology entails the research, surveillance, data collection, and analysis of effects that threaten the human epidemiology. It helps in giving real-time information that helps in predicting disaster impacts in the future. The main focus of epidemiology investigation usually focusses on events that may lead to mortality and morbidity. It can also help, or we can use the investigation to get to know the ways for moving away from a disaster event once it occurs. Natural disaster epidemiology focuses mainly on the study of natural disasters that can harm the human race. An example of a natural disaster includes influenza pandemics. It is a disaster that entails an outbreak of viruses that can easily spread from one person to another, and if there is no quick intervention, it can lead to death (Madhav, Oppenheim, Gallivan, Mulembakani, Rubin, and Wolfe, 2017). Another natural disaster includes floods, which usually cause injury to humans in case of its occurrence, and in the long run, it may lead to registration of death cases. Natural disaster epidemiology is essential…

The components and effectiveness of endpoint protection for your organization The percentage of people engaged in remote work has increased by 44% in the last five years and 91% over the last ten years. There is no denying the fact that this is great for the workers who get to maintain a better work-life balance and the companies who have to deal with fewer issues of space crunch. But, multiple devices accessing a business network exposes it to greater security threats and more vulnerabilities. This is where endpoint security comes into the picture by securing the multiple access points for your network, and thereby, protecting your business from unforeseen attacks. Here’s getting to know the components of endpoint protection and the reasons why you need it. Two important components of endpoint protection Static analysis The static analysis takes a look at the contents of particular files as it is there on a disk, and not as it gets detonated. It flags anomalies, parses data, and extracts artifacts, attributes, and patterns. Static analysis is better at handling the issues that dynamic…

ERM implementation- A real case example and comparison             ERM is regarded as a business strategy that is prepared to assess hazards and potential disasters in the future. The hazards might interfere with the operations of the organization, and it is essential for the corporation to identify the risks beforehand. Risk identification can help in risk management, and leaders or executives can prepare an action plan as well. ERM is useful across various industries such as airlines, construction, and finance or insurance (Hampton, 2009). Here, a real case study of an organization Delta that operates within the airlines’ industry shall be considered. The process of ERM shall be compared with Intuit, another company that also implemented ERM to mitigate risks. Description of real use case Delta operates within the airlines’ industry, and it came across a future risk that required to be mitigated immediately. The business would have faced serious consequences and unprofitable outcomes, if it would not have done something against the rising fuel prices. Airlines companies like Delta previously used traditional methods of risk management in order to…

Emergency Preparedness for Special Needs Populations               ‘Access and functional needs’ individuals refer to people who require help because of any conditions that hinder their capacity to act like rational human beings. Many people in the entire community have access and functional needs in case of an emergency. Studies show that about 50 percent of individuals who seek help in disaster recovery shelters have some form of disability or access and functional need (Mace et al., 2018). Misunderstandings regarding their needs can impede or prevent the allocation of the help needed. In general, the provision for people with physical disability does not match their needs due to various problem areas. These problems are related to worker and management failures and key weaknesses within disaster management shelters as a unit. One of these problems is perspectives towards disability and ill-advised suppositions regarding the capabilities of people with disabilities and their associations to contain and counter to calamities (Twigg et al., 2011). Shelters for people with physical disabilities should be designed such they are accessible to allow for natural movements. These individuals…

Origin of Specific “Some of my critics have said, “Oh, he is a good observer, but has no power of reasoning.” I do not think that this can be true, for the Origin of Species is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and it has convinced not a few able men.” (Charles Darwin). According to this statement, evolution is founded on various variation hypothesis, which describes the variation of the same species that often result in the differences between multiple species. The theory of Darwin is usually based on the concept of variation. In organisms, variations are either within domesticated species and native species in the world. Natural selections have caused several traits such as shapes, colors, bodily organs, feathers, and fur to be perpetuated in the natural world with some species. Several variations do not randomly exist though they have proven to be essential in the survival of all species. For instance, the wings help in allowing birds to easily migrate from one environment to another, in case of harsh climate conditions and environmental disasters. According…

DHS’s role in strengthening the security of the United States against cyber-threats The anticipated cyber-attacks from China in the United States have become a significant concern. Sudden malicious attacks can weaken the nation’s critical infrastructure, and by 2020, there would be a rise in criminal activities. In case the electric grid of the country shuts down, it can have a severe impact on the communication channels. Firstly, the DOD or the Department of Defense would lose its ability to maintain its communication. Secondly, the anticipated attacks will hit the financial as well as commercial institutions operating in the U.S. The DHS can take active steps to assess the situation and prevent the risks.   A brief overview of the responsibilities of DHS One of the government structures of the United States is the DHS. It can act as a threat actor and prevent cyber-related threats and accomplish various security missions. The structure has been established for the welfare of the U.S citizens. The different types of missions of the DHS include information sharing, protection of critical infrastructure, customs and immigration…

 You were warned of an impending risk Have this thought in mind. You were warned of an impending risk, say a fire accident. You were told that all you needed to do to ensure that you don’t catch fire is to stay in a safe distance to avoid static energy that may ignite the fire. What would you do? Perhaps you would avoid contact. Would it mean not enjoying that random chat with a friend? No. we are currently presented with such a situation in the name of the Covid 19. And I am here to tell you how we can overcome this situation by choosing to keep a safe distance. I have recently been thinking about simple roles that we can play that would help us evade disaster at a time of adversity as this one. I have learned through observation of how social distancing is beneficial to the world. Significantly, social distancing has several advantages that are likely to be overlooked because of stubbornness and ignorance, which are elements in human nature. Let’s start with the problem at…

Could the Civil War have been avoided? The civil war could have been avoided. There are various changes that America had to stop the civil. One is to eliminate Lincoln as the president since he was one of the key causes of the war. In the view of most scholars, he was seen to favor the Northern states and, on the other hand, had little support from the Southern States. To resolve the problem, it would have been wise to impeach President Lincoln and replace him with a one who cared less about the Confederate States (Hill, n.p). Another cause of the war was slavery; the southern states upheld slavery, while the Northern states were strong condemners of slavery. Resistance would have been impossible if the two approached anti-slavery in unison. A war nearly broke due to mismanagement of the expansion of the United States’ pacific. The Adams treaty led to the American-Mexican war and Texas revolution due to the unnecessary renouncement claim to Texas. The issue could have been resolved by engaging all the parties into a discussion rather…

importance of pay secrecy and supporting the employers’ assertion of the benefits of the pay secrecy Pay secrecy is, for sure a known and common policy that many corporations, particularly in the US, have utilized to prohibit employees from discussing their pay. The pay secrecy policy has however, had criticisms from many factions including employees and researchers. They believe that pay secrecy is illegal and dysfunctional because it demotivates employees and sometimes makes them feel about quitting their jobs. David Burkus even analyzes that pay transparency could surely benefit both the employers and employees as opposed to the assertion of many employers that the policy only helps them and the workplace at large (Burkus, 2016). Nonetheless, this paper analyzes the importance of pay secrecy and supporting the employers’ assertion of the benefits of the pay secrecy. I concur with David Burkus that one of the core objectives of employers in to minimize their cost as possible and to have pay secrecy in place, the employers can save lots of money when it comes to factors such as hiring salary raise…
