MY POST
DO NOT RESPOND
DO NOT RESPOND
Classmates and Professor,
Bio-Terrorist
In any terrorist event, the actions taken by the emergency response team in the initial minutes of the emergency are crucial. Whether it is a warning to the people near the affected area to evacuate, stay indoors, or seek shelter, it can save many lives (Eshghi & Larson, 2008). According to Ready.gov (2021), before sending an emergency response team to the affected area, it is vital to have complete and accurate knowledge of the type of emergency, to ensure the right team of emergency responders is called to action with the right equipment (Ready.gov, 2021). For this reason, it is essential to have an emergency response plan that seeks to understand the extent or gravity of the situation before dispatching the response team.
In the case of a bio-terrorist, it is crucial to understand the extent of the threat first before sending the team. Ensuring that the right team has been dispatched to the affected area is vital in ensuring that the threat is contained and the affected victims are taken care of appropriately (Ready.gov, 2021). For this reason, disaster management agencies at both the local, state and federal levels must develop plans for bio-terrorist emergencies. Since the local response team will be the first to arrive at the scene, the agency must have a well-trained response team in managing various bio-terrorist emergencies. According to the US National Research Council (2003), one way to prepare for bioterrorism is to model techniques, bio-forensics, and rapid vaccine fielding, among others, to ensure they are ready.
The state disaster management agencies should major their response plans on managing the emergency and contain the effects of the bio-terrorist attack. This can involve treatment, decontamination, effective disposal, and decontamination protocols for animal and plant exposure. Due to the potential of a spread, the state and the federal government should have response plans to ensure that the bio-hazard component does not spread to other cities or states. “For those exposed, protocols for treatment and decontamination must be available” (National Research Council, 2003). The state and federal governments should strive to limit transmissions and work to contain the situation. The state and federal governments should also plan on vaccination, treatment, and quarantine of affected individuals and ensure recovery of the victims.

RESPONSE 1
Classmates and Professor,
I absolutely believe different response plans should be accomplished for bio-terrorist, natural, and other types of emergencies. Each type of emergency will need a lot of the same resources but they may need to be implemented very differently. "The overall concepts of planning, responding, mitigation, and recovery will be in place but executed differently based on the threat. Accomplished properly, planning provides a methodical way to engage the whole community in thinking through the lifecycle of a potential crisis, determining required capabilities and establishing a framework for roles and responsibilities. It shapes how a community envisions and shares a desired outcome, selects effective ways to achieve it and communicates expected results." (FEMA, 2021)
Depending on the emergency different agencies may have to take the lead in the response efforts. How we would respond to a terrorist attack will look quite different from a hurricane response. A lot of the same concepts and principles will be used just applied differently. The Emergency Response Plans developed for each type of event will serve as a playbook of sorts to follow when responding. Each event is unique and the plans must offer some flexibility and be responders must be agile enough to respond to changes and the unpredictability of an emergency. Having one plan for each type of emergency will not offer the flexibility or agility to offer the most effective response.

RESPONSE 2
Classmates,
It is obvious that natural disasters, bioterrorism or any other form of calamity sometimes occur without any alert to people for the sake of preparedness. To avoid being caught in a dilemma when a disaster happens, it is essential for local, state and federal disaster management agencies to develop response plans for bio-terrorist emergencies, natural and other types of emergencies. Different response plan can be devised for different locality depending on most likely tragedy in the place.
Having an emergency response plan comes with several benefits. In the first place, it helps in saving lives of human beings, animals and preventing or minimizing injuries. Life can be saved if there is a clear plan on how to handle a disaster. This may be done by evacuation of people and animals (Thompson, 2018). Having the necessary tools and drugs to offer first aid in case of bio-terrorism or in implementing guidelines stipulated in the emergency plan is also important.
Damage of properties is also reduced if there is a clear response plan. Buildings and other essential properties worth huge amount of money is protected. Moreover, the environment is conserved as the buildings and other standing properties may come with destruction of environment in the event a catastrophe happens.
It is only when there is a well-defined response plan that a disaster will be controlled and risk reduced (Sakurai & Murayama, 2019). Without the plan the tragedy is prone to cause immense destruction. In addition, lack of stabilizing the situation very fast may make it more difficult to stop it, for example if it is an inferno.
Finally, resumption of normal operations is rapid with an emergency response plan. A calamity may halt the usual day to day activities, but with a clear plan normal operations are restored rapidly and with a lot of ease.
From the benefits that comes with having an emergency response plan, it is very vital for every local, state and federal disaster management to prepare an emergency response plan.
