Unit VII WMD Research Paper The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to apply the knowledge you have gained toward mitigating the probability of a terrorist attack based on the information provided in the scenario list provided in Unit II. You will assume the position that you are an officer in charge of providing security in the scenario you have chosen. You will analyze the physical location of the scenario, mitigate probable areas of concern, and identify probable targets that may require special attention. It is up to you and your personnel to ensure that terrorists will have no opportunity to disrupt the event or unleash any form of attack. The lives of the participants in the event depend on your ability to predict every given situation and provide security to prevent such attacks. Please identify all weak areas, and provide your analysis of how to protect property and personnel during the event as well as before and after the event. The paper must address the following areas of concern: How does the terroristic act in your paper impact future prospects of terrorism whether by genetic engineering, cyberterrorism, biological warfare, or any other weapons of mass destruction (WMD)? Evaluate the moral and ethical implications of the use of this type of WMD destruction. Assess the capabilities of the WMD portrayed in your scenario, and mitigate counteraction strategies. Please use the scenario you chose in the Unit II assignment that was approved by the instructor. Complete a research paper that must be a minimum of five pages in length, not including the title page and the reference page. The research paper must follow APA guidelines and contain the following components: Title page: The title page must be in APA format, which includes the APA running head and the page number in the header. Abstract: Provide a brief explanation of the purpose of your paper. This must be a minimum of 150 words. This should be similar to the topic description you submitted in the Unit II assignment. HLS 3301, Weapons of Mass Destruction 4 Introduction: Provide a brief review of the scenario you have chosen that was submitted and approved by the instructor in Unit II. Intermediate headings: Intermediate headings help the reader transition from one subject to the next. This is the focus of your research and analysis on the scenario you have chosen, where you identify the risks and mitigate solutions that will provide the appropriate protection as well as provide reactive measures in case terrorists manage to complete an attack regardless of your preventive measures. The content must center on the three areas of concern identified above. Conclusion: Provide a summary of your findings and solutions based on best practices. Reference page: You must include the heading (References) centered above the reference list on a separate last page. You must include the three references selected in the Unit II assignment. All references must be in APA format, and each reference must relate to at least one in-text citation.

Exercises: Week 7 Assignment Use the data in the BlackHills folder and Sturgis83 geodatabase to answer the following questions: 1. The Madison Limestone is an important aquifer. Citizens are concerned about gas or chemical trucks overturning on roads and causing contamination. What is the total length of roads crossing the Madison, in kilometers? 2. The infiltration rate of the geological substrate is a strong factor in evaluating the spill hazards for roads. Create a map of all the roads based on the infiltration capacity of the geology, using appropriate symbols to indicate hazard. Capture your map. 3. The use of a road is another factor in evaluating spill hazards. Create a new field in the roads feature class with a hazard rating of 3 for primary roads, 2 for secondary roads, and 1 for primitive roads. Create a map and capture it. 4. Now create new field for a hazard index based on both infiltration and use, adding them together. What is the range of values for the index? Create a map of the roads based on the hazard index. Capture the map. 5. Rangeland can cause significant impacts on surface water quality. Using the lulc and wsheds2b feature classes, create a table showing the area of rangeland in each watershed. (Include both herbaceous and mixed rangeland categories.) 6. Areas that are within 300 meters of both streams and primitive roads are the most popular places for fishing. Create a map showing these areas. Capture your map. 7. The fishing areas in #6 should be restricted to areas within the national forest (OWNER = ‘NFS’ in the vegetation feature class). Create a revised map showing the public access fishing areas in green and the private fishing areas in red. Capture your map. 8. You need a feature class that shows polygons based only on infiltration and only within the wshds2b area. Symbolize this layer based on infiltration. Capture your map. 9. The Forest Service is concerned about septic systems contaminating the Madison Limestone. Create a map showing private land (OWNER = PVT in the Vegetation layer) on the Madison. Capture the map. 10. The Forest Service is considering adopting a policy to not cut timber within 200 meters of a primary road (TYPE = P). Assuming that cutting timber includes all SSTAGE96 LIKE ‘4*’, determine the total area in square kilometers lost to harvesting if this policy were adopted. Capture a map showing the off-limits areas.
