Katrina Reflection

Hurricane Pam was an exercise for responders and citizens that took place in the summer of 2004, which helped prepare for a forecasted hurricane like Hurricane Katrina. After twenty days, the administration cut FEMA’s funding for the Pam exercise before it was even completed. Therefore, planning for the response to Hurricane Pam was not completed, causing many difficulties during the actual hurricane in 2005. In addition to Hurricane Pam, Project Impact was set forth to reduce the impact of natural disasters was also cut from its budget, causing difficulties to respond to Hurricane Katrina. Projects that are being cut from funding are affecting how responders and the federal government prepare for a natural disaster.

Jennifer you continue to promote an atmosphere of camaraderie in your group which was difficult during this rating period with having one defiant employee and receiving over a thousand hotlines in 2015. You conducted monthly group meetings and you met individually with your workers to discuss their performance or lack of performance. You also discussed with them all pending reports that they have in Case Compass. During your team meetings you reiterate to your team the importance of compliance with all applicable policies, including but not limited to policies concerning initiating reports/contact/completion of reports, behavior, work performance and

The patient self-admits that she was not always compliant with her appointments due to changes to her work schedule since the month of December of 2016, but shared this information with her counselor. The patient is requesting to be reassigned to another counselor as she reports of not having a positive rapport with Cherron.

Many Americans watching the Government response to Hurricanes Rita and Katrina as it play out in the media could not believe the finger pointing that was going on between our elected leaders as many victims struggled to get their life in order. With the National Response Framework initial responsibility remains with the local elected officials and each level of the government above that will monitor and remain ready with assistance if requested. This will allow needed resources to get where they are needed without the internal bickering of the past. The Emergency Support Function Annexes within the National Response Framework ensures multi-agency interoperability and encompasses the other components of the NRF.

Ultimately, the responses to Hurricane Katrina were overall less than subpar and caused for many situations to worsen in the period immediately after and years later. These wrongdoings were the direct cause for many natural disaster initiatives to

The applicant requests an upgrade of his under other than honorable conditions discharge to honorable. The applicant states, in effect, after returning from Iraq, his unit was deactivated and he was placed on IRR. He understood he was placed in the IRR until he was contacted in July 2012, again on 3 January 2013 to sign his paperwork and continued to drill in the interim. The applicant states, in effect, he continued to drill until he was handed orders, reducing him in rank and discharging him under other than honorable conditions effective 17 January 2014.

Even though it is the responsibility of the federal and state governments to aid citizens during times of disaster, the people devastated by Hurricane Katrina were not effectively facilitated as according to their rights as citizens of the United States. The government’s failures to deliver assistance to citizens stem from inadequate protection systems in place before the storm even struck. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security were the two largest incumbents in the wake of the storm. The failure of these agencies rests on the shoulders of those chosen to head the agency. These directors, appointed by then president George W. Bush, were not capable of leading large government agencies through a

Guelas 1Armina GuelasAnthony PratoURST 241.100111 March 2018Midterm Assignment: Hurricane KatrinaThereis not much of an argument to be made against the idea that Hurricane Katrina was a complete political disaster in terms of intergovernmental relations; there is no hiding that no one was ready to handle the storm or its aftermathby way of everyone’s general lack of response. The federal, state, and local governments are all to be blamed for the political fallout of Katrina. Itis difficult to point a finger at any single government, person, or organization when almost all of them were at fault in some way. Everyone was waiting for someone else to take action, and when no one did, they (all of the agencies, governments, and people)

As one of the largest natural disasters, any responses to the effects of Hurricane Katrina by the Department of Defense (DOD) was regarded as being ineffective; regardless of any and all deployed resources, that were considered moderately acceptable. The support that the military provided in response to Hurricane Katrina is to take the necessary actions in order to identify and address the key lessons learned when coming to face with any and all challenges.

In Phase 1, "Sort out Resources," the college is taught to make the beginning stride of distinguishing stakeholders from inside both the college and the encompassing group, and to stock the assets that are accessible to the planners. A warning panel is made out of these deliberations, after all proper gatherings have been distinguished and welcomed to join. FEMA prompts that, "Planning associations exist at numerous levels of the college, and it is vital to distinguish the greater part of the different planning panels that may impart an investment or have ward in the zone of danger relief before the planning methodology gets too far." Clearly, just by having a delegate from each of these levels and parts can a council guarantee that they

As I watch information about TS Erika, I am reminded about ten years ago when Mississippi was bracing for Hurricane Katrina, an event that changed so many things for many Mississippians. I am also reminded of all the efforts of our public health professionals as many left their families for days, weeks and months to assist in the response and recovery from this storm. I am thankful for ALL their efforts! In addition, I am reminded of the Mississippians who lost their lives in this storm, those that were injured and those impacted by the destruction. With increased planning, training, exercises, and partnerships the public health and medical response is much more robust today than during Katrina. Thanks to everyone who helps prepare our
