Description
Question 1.
The requirement for this response is a minimum of 300 words, but no more than 450 words
- It is often said that “all emergency response is local”, implying that emergency responders will often be overwhelmed at the onset of a major disaster. It is incumbent upon citizens and private sector to become better prepared to ensure their survival until first responder arrival. Compare and contrast a citizen and corporate protective initiative. Do you believe they are effective? Cite real-world examples of their success or failures.
Question 2
Please answer the following questions within the minimum requirement of 300 words, but no more than 450 words.
- When it comes to CIKR protection, public and private security concerns often differ. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? What are the differences? Please support your opinion with real-world examples.
Question 3.
- Your response for question 1 should be 3-5 pages in length (double spaced). Your paper must include a “reference page” not included in the 3-5 page minimum.
Using your CIKR paper from week 3, continue the risk analysis of your CIKR being impacted by a natural disaster, terrorism or technological event. Answer the following questions for each type of event: (1) what can happen? (2) how likely is it? (3) what are the consequences? When completed with the analysis, report findings and steps you would take make your CIKR more risk adverse. Use Qualitative Analysis to help create a matrix.
Question 4
Your response to question two should be 2-pages in length (double spaced). Be sure to include the perceived impact of the event on the Homeland Security landscape, your opinion of the event, and defense of your opinion. Your paper must include a “reference page” not included in the 2-page minimum.
Current Events: Current Event assignments are designed to give you an opportunity to critically examine contemporary Homeland Security issues related to Emergency Response, Disaster Mitigation, Prevention, and Preparedness. You are challenged to find news articles, press releases, industry announcements, etc. that impact some aspect of Homeland Security. National and international events may be used, but MUST be related to Emergency Response, Disaster Mitigation, Prevention, and Preparedness.
Explanation & Answer
this is the final answer, in case ypu have a question ypu can ask.
The phrase all emergency response is local, is often dimmed to all the local initiatives that are
forged towards that aversion and mitigation of the situation for the local people. The initiatives that are
incepted at the corporate level, I believe are more effective relative to citizen ones. Agreeably, the
initiatives that are funded and maintained by the corporates they have a high response rate as
compared to that of the citizens. The attainment of the high responsive track has been catalysed by the
ability of regular training, which entail an array of professions. Moreover the application of them
modern technology like, smoke detectors have enabled the realisation of the main elements that aid in
the repudiation of the puny element of the scheme.
During the Maryland flooding, the first ground team that immediately responded was enabled
by sustenance as well as funding of a corporate. They were deployed in training for several events and
for numerous times throughout the year as well as formulate to be inspired in the direction of the
moment’s notification, in addition intended for highly trained rescue team in Maryland, that time has
come (Swamy et al. 2018). The state’s Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team, or HART, has been activated to
help people stranded by floodwaters from Florence. With all the cooperation the citizens were able to
mitigate the effect to some extent as there was the reduction of the loss of life as compared to the prior
disaster where the responsive was slightly lower. More so, based on the scenario the citizens, for
example Megan Clark, the owner of a local toy store, was at work when the water "burst" through,
rising from her ankles to her waist in minutes, she told ABC News. In a generic manner the citizen often
fall into the panic attack (Swamy et al. 2018).

The perception of the events on the homeland security landscape
Generally, it has remained to be perceived that Homeland Security is situated at the crossroads
of deprivation that is on the verge of encountering threats that are mainly pinning the entire system.
Since the inception of this security department has been working towards the attainment of overall
services, wherein they have been furled by the high level of diligence. Consequently, homeland security
works on towards the attainment of the overall goal based on the American standards. The core role is
ensuring that the United States is not harmed from the spectre of additional horrific terrorist violence.
In that situation, the homel...
