Hazards and Maps In the world crude and natural gas market, Canada has been ranked as the 5th largest producer of natural gas and the 6th largest producer of crude oil. Further, a study shows that Canada has more than 168 billion barrels, whereby, over 95 percent can be recovered using the improved technology (Giesy et al., 2010). Using today’s technology to extract crude oil from sand oils makes Canada have the third largest country with vast oil reserves that are yet to be obtained. The demand for crude oil, natural gas, and oil products is rising rapidly. Countries such as the United States and the Asia Pacific region have increased their demand for crude oil and natural gas from Canada. Therefore, Canada has to put in all efforts to ensure it satisfies the needs and rising desires of her customers. Export of crude oil and natural gas products er]ans the country foreign exchange, which is used to boost other sectors of the economy. The increase in export earnings over the last few years has promoted rapid economic and infrastructural…
benefit of guiding an emergency Besides the benefit of guiding an emergency, it is essential to provide a plan too. There may be undiscovered conditions in a crisis that are dangerous and can increase the threat of the situation. For these reasons, there should be a plan to eliminate the hazardous condition. The planning process helps to identify tools or resources that are important in solving the emergency. The importance of emergency planning is that it promotes awareness and outlines the commitment of the organization dealing with the crisis. Disasters are nonselective when it comes to matters of the people they impact or the community they affect. During disasters, people with disabilities are among those people who survive. There are misconceptions about these people with disabilities. One of them is that about 50% of people who visit the disaster recovery centers may have some functional or access needs or even some type of disability. These misconceptions may have an effect or interference during the provision of assistance in a disaster. Delusions about their capabilities might prevent them from being included…
Wildland Urban Interface and Wildfire Management Fire management is the process of planning, preventing, and fighting fires to protect people, property, and forest resources. It also involves fire to attain forestry, wildlife, and land-use objectives (Hammer, R. B., Stewart, S. I., & Radeloff, V. C. (2009). Wildland urban interface is the zone in between wildland and human-inhabited areas, those communities living adjacent or in this region are sometimes classified as “risk community” due to their vulnerability to wildfire. “Risk communities” more so classified as those homes and all the structures along with standard amenities and services in the own government land. Mostly conditions within this area are favorable to farming, especially large-scale agriculture, therefore as a result of this, it attracts settlers. Wildfire is a type of fire which occurs in the wilderness, and wildfire is the primary threat facing people inhabiting wilderness together with their property, other than humans. It also poses a threat to wildlife. Therefore, there is a need for wildfire management. Wildfire management is the process of organizing, presenting, and responding to wildfire to safeguard people,…
satisfactory moral theory James Rachels expresses his opinion on what a satisfactory moral theory ought to be like on this chapter. By citing examples, he indicates that a satisfactory theory would be realistic where human beings fit in the grand scheme of things. He also looks at the concepts and theories that should guide how we live as human beings such as reason , desert, motives, modesty, community, justice and fairness. His theory emphasizes more on people’s right to make a choice and the moral importance of treating people as they deserve to be treated. Based on his research, he outlined that the Multiple- Strategies Utilitarianism as the most plausible possibility which means that we should maximize the interests of all beings by living according to our best plan with modesty. Human beings always carry themselves as the superior beings despite being last on the evolution line (Rachels, ). Sunsewuently, they developed theories of right and wrong in protection of their own intersts which places the other species at a much lower value. Rachels argues that just because human beings…
approaches to generate nuclear power Introduction Advanced energy entails systems and services, which are coming up and those already existing, and are supplying a power system for the 21st century. It is that which is clean, reliable, economical and safe. among this are power efficiency, power storage, natural gas power production, nuclear, biofuels, solar, smart grid among others What is this technology The technology is atomic energy. It is considered as a dependable source of energy but can fully become a renewable source of uranium source transformed to seawater from ore extraction. Because U mining progressively gets replenished through geologic mechanisms, nuclear power would become infinity just like solar. It is the second-largest source of electricity with minimal carbon in the world. There are two approaches to generate nuclear power through fusion and fission. Control of fission reaction is more comfortable as compared to fusion reactions. This explains why all atomic energy plants depend on fission to generate electricity. Fission The idea behind fission is to break atoms, normally uranium, in a nuclear reactor. Upon splitting of atoms, neutrons get…
The Nature of Teachers Introduction Nursing education is the systematic learning and teaching in the science of nursing. Nursing education entails functions and responsibilities in the management of patients and other several disciplines that trigger the patient’s return to a stable condition. This paper is going to discuss how the nature of teachers contributes to their idealism in as far as nursing education is involved. The theoretical and practical training of teachers without reasonable doubt helps to prepare students for advanced medical professional studies. Nursing education courses are relevant in contemporary society, only attainable through ideal teachers who give all their best for their students to at least comprehend issues to do with mental health, pediatric and post-operatory nursing (Iwasiw & Goldenberg, 2014). In the U.S, nursing education is carried out within university schools because of its higher education requirements and massive student’s enrollment. The Nature of the Teacher Over the years, the nature teachers have always been a subject of discussion. Teachers come from all walks of life- coworkers, peers, family members and most important – professional…
Nurse and Target plants Introduction With plants competing for nutrients, water, and sunlight, different plants in the same physical environment affect the other negatively and sometimes positively. The effects of such an ecosystem often are harmful due to the competition. However, there are cases where the survival of some plants would otherwise be in jeopardy without other plants supporting them. This is the case for plants that takes advantage of the canopy of other mature plants for them to germinate and grow. Such plants thrive on the change in temperature, light, humidity that the other mature plants offer by providing a cover to such plants. In the desert and other regions with a harsh climate, such dependency can be used to restore the environment. Despite the advantages nurse plants offer, other factors such as human disturbance can affect the facilitation, which requires the nurse plants to be different depending on the specific region. This review studies plant facilitation in restoring the desert environment. Case examples of plan facilitation methods are discussed. Nurse and Target plants A nurse plant is a…
Using Social Media to Increase Disaster awareness Introduction The rapid evolution of technology has brought with it many benefits. It has also led to increased use of the internet and especially the use of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Whatsapp. With improved technology and increased internet access, people can easily share and keep each other informed of what is going on across the globe in a matter of seconds. Social media has been a great tool in keeping people informed, especially in reporting and increasing disaster awareness. Increasing awareness Social media in the current age is a common, smart, and a critical online application tool that allows people to interact, communicate, and share information, and sources with each other especially in times of disaster. Each Social media platform has distinct features that make them uniquely suited for disaster management and raising awareness. For example, Instagram is a media sharing application that allows its users to share photos and videos. Meanwhile, Facebook, another social networking site, allows its users to post comments, share media with user friends, buy…

The research seeks to find a solution to reduce the wasteful use of major resources. The waste of resources mainly occurs because of the lack of knowledge about how important these resources are. The first example of wasting resources that will be discussed in the research is food-wasting which is the amount of uneaten food or thrown food which is considered as a waste. The second example is the water wasting which is any water that has been affected by human use.…
Methods of Controlling Hazards Organizational wise, the most effective approach to shield the workers is to remove or eliminate the hazard associated through the incorporation of various control methods. The elimination can be done through the use of multiple ways, such as substitution (Bennett, 2013). Substitution involves relieving toxic chemicals, gadgets or work approaches with safer and less toxic ones. In most cases, elimination may not be feasible, and when it applies substitution becomes the best approach to hazard mitigation. A good example is substituting toluene for benzene or Saw Stop table saws for existing traditional table saws. Another most effective method of hazard control is the use of engineering controls, which comprises a variety of ways for minimizing hazards. The process control, enclosure and isolation, and ventilation are the conventional methods for engineering control. Process control changes how a particular job is performed to mitigate the risk associated. For example, the wet method can be used when drilling to minimize vapour generation. Enclosure and isolation are timed with the primary aim of keeping chemical in and the researcher out…
