Geological Disaster Geological disasters occur when natural geological processes affect human activity and cause injuries, loss of life or economic loss. Most geological disasters occur on a large scale and affect a massive number of people. Volcanic eruptions are some of the most deadly geological hazards. Guatemala faces volcanic eruptions regularly, with a recent and most disastrous explosion occurring at Fuego volcano. The Fuego volcano erupted with little warning in early June 2018. According to Park et al. (2018), the Fuego volcano is the most dangerous volcano with continuous and sudden eruptions. In June 2018, the Fuego Volcano erupted violently without warning and caused massive destruction of property and loss of many lives. In line with Park et al. (2018), the areas surrounding the Fuego volcano were covered in a mixture of hot gas and volcanic rocks moving at high speed and caused the death of 425 people.

Backup security Backup security often becomes a concerning issue because cyberthreats are increasing exponentially. The daily operations of the organization might get hampered if sudden customer-related data is stolen or lost. When the IT environment of an organization is not stable, security issues are bound to occur. Therefore, it is advisable to secure the backup media by implementing a few strategies. These are the encryption technique and regular testing. The encryption technique would ensure backup security by blocking unauthorized access to multiple users. Information can be encrypted by 256-bit AES. The encryption technique is useful while defending hackers. Similarly, regular testing will help to identify the system vulnerabilities. Systems are supposed to function normally in case of emergencies. Hence, consistent testing is necessary. Another way of securing a backup is to use the off-site backup method. It stores data in a far-away remote place, and an organization can have access to the data in times of emergency. Organizations are prone to come across disasters, and it can strike at any time. Information is not always safe in the on-site backup…

Simulation in employee training Overview Simulation is one of the most important parts of employee training, which helps employees experience real-world problems by mimicking real-life scenarios. This speeds up their working process and presents various scenarios that they might have to face in their jobs. Using simulation for training is one of the most effective methods, as it minimizes the chance of errors. Why use simulation? Employees who are having hands-on knowledge about a subject require a place to implement their learning. Simulation provides them with the space with minimum risk factor attached to it. Simulation provides a virtual environment that is suitable for testing out new applications, tools or methods (Vaughan, & Dubey, 2016). Usually, simulation is done through a digital medium, and the virtual medium provided by it mirrors real-life situations within a controlled space. Using simulations in training reduces costs for a company and lowers the risk factors. Employees can implement and apply their knowledge in the virtual environment and learn from their mistakes. They can also understand the work needs and can anticipate what to expect…

Cultural competence in Disaster Management Introduction Today’s communities are associated with evolving demographics because people from different racial backgrounds are forced to intermingle in search of employment, work, education, or social life. Such populations set up are associated with ethnic and racial diversity. Disasters have tendency to emerge anywhere regardless of ethnic composition. The vulnerable cohort must get assistance irrespective of their socio-economic background. Therefore, the appointed crisis management team must inculcate cultural competence through their abilities, skills, and knowledge so that culturally diverse population do not get misunderstood or overlooked. Disaster management experts should be in a position to highlight cultural concerns of communities distressed by adverse events so that the victims don’t suffer from psychological distress. Besides, understanding cultural competence enables stakeholders to meet the community’s needs for a swift recovery. The following paper addresses cultural aspects required to evacuate the Ruby Lake and Longley neighbourhoods, in Riverbend city. Concerns for Evacuating Ruby Lake and Longley neighbourhoods Different factors need to be taken into consideration during evacuation efforts. All members of the community must feel that they are…

Matthew Henson and Ernest Shackleton I know you have heard about Christopher Columbus exploring America and Ponce de León but have you heard of Matthew Henson and Ernest Shackleton? Henson was an African-American with minimal rights but got the chance of a lifetime to go explore the Arctic. On the other hand, Shackleton was an explorer on his way to Antarctica but sadly did it make it. But he was still known for saving his crew. Matthew Henson and Ernest Shackleton both shared the dream of exploring an unknown world, however, their outcomes were very different. Even though these two men did not go to the same place, they still faced the same problems and were rewarded by their achievements. One problem both men faced was that they went to the coldest parts of the world with lots of ice. The conditions were bad and would be very hard to survive the frigid climates. The article “Frozen Dreams” states, “They faced many near-disasters. They got lost in blizzards” (Tarshis 8). This comes to shows that both men were in danger…

Religious Studies: The Book of Esther Introduction The book of Esther is found in the Old Testament between Nehemiah and Job. However, its appearance is based on the religious background or the church, for that matter. For instance, the book follows Ecclesiastes and Lamentations in the Jewish Bible, and it is only read during the Purim festival, which is celebrated in commemoration of the Jews’ rescue from Haman’s plot. However, in the protestant religion, the book of Esther appears between Nehemiah and job, while in the Roman Catholic Church, it seems between Judith and job.  The primary author of the book of Esther, however, is unknown as it is not clear as to who wrote the book. Many types of research have claimed that the author might have been a Jew who was very familiar with the ways of the Persians. From the description of the Persian traditions and detailed court life present in the book, the author might have been a Jewish eye witness to everything that was happening at the time. However, others claim that the author was…
