Incident Command Systems in Disaster Management Incident Command is a disaster management system designed to suit domestic disaster management. The system integrates a mixture of procedures, personnel, equipment, facilities, and a string of communication processes operating within a structure. The structure of the Incident Command Systems (ICSs) suits the facilitation of an organization’s five significant fields, for instance, logistics, planning, intelligence, investigation (FEMA, 2017). The system works in managing a wide range of areas both commercially and domestically, including finance, administration, and disaster that may cause physical damage. The fundamentals in these systems enable managers to identify significant concerns linked to the incident of the catastrophe at the time of occurrence (Gnoni & Saleh, 2017). Moreover, the system also considers matters of urgency without diverting attention to other components of the system. This research topic focuses on the impediments of the system during any form of disaster, either domestically or commercially. Background The background of incident command systems in disaster management begins from defining an incident and relating it to disaster. Research across the United States investigates the fundamental and…
“Rakaposhi Scene Speaks” Suddenly the motorbike stopped on the deserted road and started to descend, upon my inquiry we found that we were stopping at a yard. And so Abraham and Ibrahim should stay. Do you see that a memorial named “Memorial No. 1, Engineer Battalion” was erected in recognition of the services of the people who walked on the construction of the Karakoram highway from 1966 to 1972? Their graves are there too. This memorial is made in memory of the enormous engineers, laborers and other staff who have sacrificed their lives while participating in the nation’s construction and development in the Karakoram Mountains and have fallen asleep forever in the mountains. Hotels in Rakaposhi There are several hotels in front of me, with a bunch of domestic and foreign tourists. Many people from Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistan are here with the family. Many children are playing with transparent water flowing from the foot of the monastery. On my query an innocent girl said, Uncle is very cold water. In my freezer I do not have that much cold water.…
The Importance of Ancient and Modern Methods of Water Conservation Water is a significant challenge in drylands. From the old age up to the present, various technologies to harvest and use water, either as surface water or rainwater, have been invented. During the ancient times in Mesopotamia, impressive hydraulic structures such as the Sennacherib Aqueduct was constructed to harvest and provide water for irrigation to the people living in water-scarce areas (Tamburrino, 2010). To cope with water scarcity, human societies develop water management approaches in proximity to cultural and social evolution Ancient methods of conserving water have two significant features; they lead to practices that are: connected to sustainable management and utilization of natural resources, and are socially sociable. For instance, oases demonstrate the traditional management approach in the usage of geomorphological and physical factors. Oases comprise a water management and distribution system, cultivation of plants that are salinity and aridity tolerant, and planting structure that control micro-climate. Over the years, water conservation has become a global issue; thus, new initiatives and technology have been developed to modernize the process…
risk elimination It is on a high note that most people do not differentiate between risk management and risk elimination. In a well-defined manner, risk management is essentially the process of assessing, identifying, and also controlling threats to the organization’s capital and earnings. The threats detailed in risk management are from different sources, which are inclusive of the legal liabilities, financial uncertainty, accidents, and natural disasters, and many other ways. Risk elimination on the other side can also be termed as risk avoidance, which is the ways of doing away the hazards, items, and the exposures which can negatively have an effect on the company’s assets. For a risk elimination to be carried out, a strategy has to be designed so as to deflect as many threats as possible so as to have the avoidance of the costly and the disruptive consequences which can be experienced from a damaging event. The methodology in the risk elimination gets a good attempt at minimizing the vulnerabilities, which are threats posing. Most essentially, in carrying out of risk elimination in an organization, policy,…
Environmental Threat in Amazon: an indicator of renewed conflict between developed and developing countries My MPhil dissertation will put forward a new connection between politics and environment through applying a realistic to environmental crises that the developing countries are currently facing. The thesis will mainly focus on president Jair Bolsonaros’s policies on the environment on the Amazon forest. Proving Brazil started to speak out their right to exploit the natural resources for the “well-being” of the people of Brazil despite the robust opposition from developed countries including the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the president of French Emmanuel Macron. It attempts to interpret environmental threats with the conflicts between developed and emerging countries. It could offer a clear solution for politicians, international organizations as well as civil societies who are trying to alleviate the environmental problems in different ways. Also, it could provide vibrant evidence on how nation-states should deal with environmental threats focusing on the ‘pursuit of national interest’. There have been numerous attempts trying to explain environmental issues in the perspective of international relations (IR), mostly through idealism.…
Privation theory this theory was propagated by Clement of Alexandria as a way of denying evil in reconciling Gods dominion and sin, he stated that “since God is perfect, He could not have created evil; but if God did not create evil, then it cannot exist” according to him evil does not exist positively, but negatively due to lack of good. In explaining the suffering in the world, Clement opted for ontology through dualism by presenting two realities, one of God and Truth, other of human and perceived experience, an idea found in Platonic school. According to Augustine of Hippo evil exists only as absence of good whose vices are nothing but the privations of natural right, and sin is not a substance, and it’s more than loos of sound and therefore God does not participate in evil because He is perfect and His creation is complete, thus absence of good explains sin and moral depravity.

A natural disaster A natural disaster can be of any kind that includes drought/famine, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanos, etc. In a disaster situation, individuals face the threat of death, emotional/physical impacts, and massive destruction of possessions. It is challenging to predict the occurrence of a natural disaster. It may show signs or may occur abruptly. The great famine in Europe loosely referred to as the “The Dad Life” was mainly caused by a potatoes bright (natural disaster) which infected the potato fields. Nobody would have predicted that in any way. However, that was the short-term cause. The long-term cause was the landlord’s absents, over-dependence on a single crop, and more on the economic policy (capitalism), which governed most countries by then. Therefore, it is possible to forecast the long-term causes than the acute once. In general, the economic policy/models adopted would provide a good baseline for prediction. Economic policy should include government involvement. The government serves a significant purpose in giving a regular assessment to firms through the agricultural department — data produced during an evaluation, including the GDP, can…
The Homeland Security Intelligence Community Overview Homeland security is an arm of national security in the United States which is concerned with ensuring safety in a homeland against terrorism and other hazardous attacks such as natural disasters. According to Dawes (2015), the responsibility of Homeland Security does not belong to the National defense alone but to all other government entities altogether. Some of the responsibilities of National security include; preparedness for terrorism and natural disaster emergencies and the consecutive responses, border control, protection of critical infrastructure, control of all activities at the border, both domestic and international intelligence as well as research activities promoting technologies to be used in the next generation. Despite the numerous benefits of Homeland security, there are also subsequent challenges surrounding it which incapacitate its smooth operations. The two limitations aspects that limit intelligence support to the homeland security enterprise are; implementation of management functions management for people who would like to enter or leave the United States and maintenance of cybersecurity in this technological era. The Homeland Security Intelligence Community Overview The homeland security intelligence…
post-disaster environment:International Committee of Red Cross One of the organizations that work in the post-disaster environment is the International Committee of Red Cross. The organization is mandated by the international community to be a guardian on the international humanitarian law and to operate across the world to offer assistance to people affected by calamities or violence. The organization offers physical rehabilitation to people who have had serious injuries caused by explosive weapons. It works in collaboration with World Health Organization to provide health emergencies. It runs programs to enhance physical therapy institutions that play a vital role in supporting the developments. Another post-disaster organization is the International non-governmental agencies, which work alongside volunteers to alleviate poverty in the developing nations (Twigg & Mosel, 2017, p. 40). It takes part in the recovery missions as well as teaching ways of disaster prevention and preparedness. One of such agencies is CARE, which is a humanitarian organization that works to fight poverty across the globe. There is also the Handicap international, which operates in partnership with local organizations to raise awareness on the…
