Contingency Proposal Plan Outline Identified Hazard Extreme temperature is a hazard in New York. Heatwaves due to an abnormal increase in temperature are likely to cause harm to citizens across the region. The identification of the heatwave as a hazard is essential. It is not possible to mitigate without knowing the anticipated danger (Haddow et al., 2011, p73). Increased temperatures can be harmful to humans, animals and plants. The atmospheric change can also have effects on oceans and ice. It thus does not only harm human beings, plants and animals in the area but other weather aspects as well beyond the region. Bearing this in mind, it is imperative to come up with a contingency plan to mitigate and respond to the threat. Hazard Impact The impact of the heatwave would not only be felt at an individual level but state level and ultimately on the country level. Its effects would affect the weather pattern as a result of rising temperatures that would affect oceans and ice. As a result, areas away from New York would be affected by adverse…
Identification of a Potential Community Hazard New York is prone to human-made and natural hazards and threats. Hazard identification is crucial in threat mitigation (Haddow et al., 2011, p73). To adequately deal with the disaster, a contingency plan has to be implemented. It is therefore essential to have a plan that is adequate, feasible, acceptable, complete, compliant and engaging (“CPG 101, Version 2.0 – Process and Analysis Support Tool”, 2011). Use of the THIRA process is essential in developing a plan. The process involves hazard identification, threat context and capability targets (Homeland Security, 2018). Hazard Identification Extreme temperatures are a natural hazard in New York during the summer season. As a result, a large number of people living in New York are likely to suffer heatwave effects. The threat would thus affect people on a large scale since temperature rise is prevalent in vast areas. In this regard, every citizen in New York would be affected by the heatwave. Threat Context Adverse effects resulting from the heatwave are likely to occur on a larger scale during the afternoon when temperatures…
Seasonal discounts Question One Seasonal discounts are offered on goods and services that are either seasonal or on all goods and services at a particular season with the products and services given at prices that are lesser than the usual market prices or the original prices. Many retailers of commodities view the onset of Black Friday as a perfect opportunity to clear stocks and encourage more significant shopping experiences among the consumers. During the Black Friday that immediately begins after the end of Thanksgiving, many consumers will flock to various selling points to take advantage of the discounts given and, as such, make long queues at different outlets.

Hence the deals that are offered during the Black Friday is an indication of seasonal discounts Question Two Perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes are among the significant psychological factors that influence the marketing process as…

ANALYSIS OF THE USA BORDER AND COASTAL SECURITY Abstract The United States has, for the last eighty-five years, tried to find effective and operational strategies for the coastal and border security. The discovery of the United States Border Patrol in 1924 manifested the certified commencement of efforts to restore adequate border security. The initiatives range from intercepting unauthorized migration and contraband seizure. Basic principles of the agents set to protect the borders have been preventing the illegal entrance of people in ports of entry together with interdicting and apprehending foreigners who have already made their way in the country. Policymakers claimed that most of the drug trafficking activities took place at the land and coastal boundaries. This encouraged enlarged stress on achieving active regulation to prohibit illegal actions. Furthermore, this new stress led to a review of boundary strategies; and as a result, boundary organizations began highlighting an objective of restriction (along with prohibition). The method for attaining this prevention would include better human resources as well as reserve placement to the boundary counties to observe movement and involve alleged…
“American Gothic” by Grant Wood (1930) Source: American Gothic. Totally History,n.d., totallyhistory.com/american-gothic/. (Accessed 28 Jan 2019) As I look at my ailing and aging father, I wonder if I will ever leave this town. This dusty and hot hamlet where every proud farm owner carries a farming tool. This town where every breath carries the scent and shafts of corn and wheat, which bring pride to our farmers. I often joke that my village is strapped in a time capsule as buildings, streets, and even houses retain the same gothic design that appealed to my great grandfather moved his family here. I have always wanted to move to a different city since I was a child. It dawns on me that I am aging at a fast rate. The thought that I may never have a family of my own saddens me. I am overwhelmed when I imagine what will become of me when my father ultimately dies. I have dedicated my youth to caring for him. Caring for this hopeless farmer who wears the same pair of blue jeans…
Water Management Water is an essential thing for human survival. Water management is a subset of the water cycle that involves planning, distributing, and managing the ideal use of water resources. Water management is the management of water resources in compliance with the set of regulations and policies. San Marino is known for its high-quality water in Los Angeles. The San Marino Area is part of the three districts in Los Angeles. This paper outlines the water management plans and uses in San Marino. This report was prepared in compliance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act. Development Level The development objective of water management is to enhance access to sanitation services and water supply. The process of water management involves collection where water is released for treatment, screening, and straining for various dissolved and suspended materials. Then chemicals are added to make the suspended particles float in water and clumps together to form a floc. Then water is coagulated and flocculated where a rapid mix of coagulant is added to the water to provide a thorough mixing. After the…
What Darwin Never Knew The documentary describes Darwinian ideas on the revolution by appreciating his contribution while criticizing some concepts he might have left out in his findings. In the first half of the film, it seems to be all about “what Darwin Knew” as it reflects on the ideas about the evolution of species according to his perception. The show covers the aspects of natural selection in the development of different species and how that affects the kind of traits they develop over time. The various explanations given by scientists and historians all have one thing in common, that Darwinism is true to some extent as there is no other way of explaining how human beings came to be. The natural selection process is an indication of species’ ability to survive, compete, and reproduce (Wise Wanderer, 2016). The other half of the show covers the “things that Darwin Never Knew” by including other aspects in connection to the origin and development of species. As it is clear to the show, Darwin missed the points of evolution using embryology and…
Sensation, Perception, Memory, and Cognition The scene of Central Michigan University’s Park Library presents a perfect example of an environment in which sensation, perception, memory, and cognition happen at the same time. In the Library, many sensations like the smell of coffee from the café down the hall, the natural lighting from the skylights and windows, and the feeling of the cushioned chairs are present. Due to perception, the library environment is perceived as a studious, serene, and involving environment. Within this scene, memory is represented by recognition of the diverse colors of floors and books, and the active strive to maintain silence and obey rules. Local signs Local signs are a standard method of communication in public spaces. However, when photographed, different people may identify signs differently because they are removed from the context of their use. The meaning of a sign is always connected to its environment of use. In the trial, many people identified signs out of context. Brunswik’s Theory of Ecologic Validity Ecologic validity is cue informativeness. The ecological validity of a sensory cue in perception…
