Hello Everyone, DHS actions related to this mission have often centered on the Homeland Security Grant Program. The goal of the grant program is to help states and localities build their own capabilities to respond to terrorism and natural disasters. The problem with this approach, however, is that the program has become the pork barrel of homeland security. Instead of focusing money on needed technologies and infrastructure, or on the highest-risk locations, DHS often spreads the money out equally shortchanging high-risk jurisdictions. State and local governments have often lined up for the dollars, and federal elected officials have been all too willing to give them a share with little regard to actual need. However, a method for measuring the success of such programs is needed to determine their effectiveness and to develop new programs to ensure community suppleness. As a community, it is imperative that the people come together to comfort and help deal with and when a major disaster happens. Even up to this day, many people still feel as though many of the casualties during Hurricane Katrina could have been prevented if such preparedness was implemented correctly. In a lot of cases, we as citizens, tend to take the back seat role when a major disaster happens and wait for first responders to arrive to take control. Therefore, by joining forces with a Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) in which programs support local response capability by training volunteers to organize themselves and unplanned volunteers at the disaster site, to provide immediate assistance to victims, and to collect disaster intelligence to support responders' efforts when they arrive (Bullock, Haddow & Coppola, 2016). This specific administration is in partnership with the Citizen Corps. They provide opportunities for people across the country to participate in a range of measures to make their families, their homes, and their communities safer from the threats of crime, terrorism, public health issues, and disasters of all kinds. Through public education, training opportunities, and volunteer programs, every American can do their part to be better prepared and better protected and to help their communities do the same. Citizen Corps is managed at the local level by Citizen Corps Councils, which bring together leaders from law enforcement, fire, emergency medical and other emergency management, volunteer organizations, local elected officials, the private sector, and other community stakeholders. These Citizen Corps Councils will organize public education on disaster mitigation and preparedness, citizen training, and volunteer programs to give people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to support their community's emergency services and to safeguard themselves and their property Hi Friends, Every country is now thinking about the danger of Disaster. Disasters are the risks or the threats which may happen at any time. Disasters are categorized into two types. They are Natural Disaster and Manmade Disaster. Natural disasters are the disasters which are happened due to the natural risks of floods, thunderstorms, etc. Similarly, Manmade disasters are done due to the risks made by the human beings like terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks etc. To tackle the threats like a disaster, federal govt. is having a department known as The Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It is having many organizations under the umbrella of it. "The Secretary of Homeland Security oversees the third largest Cabinet department and leads our nation's efforts to secure our country from terrorism to natural disasters“ (DHS, 2017). It is the organization which is the responsible for both natural and manmade disaster. But when comparing the budget, both the republican and democratic parties are providing the different kinds of budgets for the DHS. While republican are providing more money towards terrorism, democratic is providing more money to the natural disasters. But according to my opinion, there should not be any type of political interference in the work of DHS. As all the party first remember that disasters are the disasters that may be natural or manmade. Any kind of disasters will finally lead to the many damages including the financial and the infrastructure damage. So no political party should make any specific budget allocation for any kind of specific disaster. But natus disasters having more bad effect compare to nanmade disasters. So there must be more budget allocation the natural disasters compared to the manmade disaster. The natural disaster should have got more priority than the manmade disasters at the time of budget allocation and also at the time of planning. Thanks and Regards, Supply chain is basically the set of activities that are involved in satisfying the suppliers, manufacturers, retailers and customers' needs and includes the functions like product development, marketing and operations, customer service and fulfilling them. They are active systems and required to be managed throughout the supply chain. Supply chain services typically include time between production and consumption, distance between the locations, quantity and assortment. (Navarre. L. 2012) Beer Game-Supply Chain Management It is a very simple supply chain in the business world and it practically involves just one participant in each stage. The participants in the supply chain include the factory, distributor, wholesaler and finally the retailer. The primary goal of the beer game strategy is to satisfy the customer needs in the cases of beer through the stages of supply chain with low expenses on the inventory. (Kannan. J. 2017) Supply Chain Dynamics Reducing variation is an important aspect to be considered as a primary objective in supply chain management. The variation sources are not clear in a dynamic supply chain. (Navarre, L, 2012) Bull Whip Eff The supply chain managers try to make decisions that results in over stocking and stock outs in a supply chain. They are some factors that contribute the bullwhip effect are lead time impacts, batch impact, inflated orders, forecasting inaccuracy. (Navarre, L. 2012) The Beer Game in this video gives a short discussion of the supply chain management. This video clarifies about the fundamentals of the business in meeting the necessities of the clients. In this video we can come over the ideas of item improvement, strategies of marketing. operations, fund, and circulation and in addition client benefit. In this video, the presentator has additionally portrayed about the progression of inventory network administration. Supply chain management: In the video, supply chain has been portrayed every one of the activities which are associated with meeting the client necessities. For a supply chain management, the presentator of the beer game has started that supply is dynamic in nature and this requires an exceptionally sharp consideration. This is extremely fundamental for a supply chain management. At some of the time products are asked for by the clients amid the year. With the demand of the client the merchandise will be transported according to the likelihood. Supply chain management is a phenomenon as discussed by the presentator. Performance excellence, cooperation with SCM and Information Technology are the three different highlights of the supply chain management (Larry, 2012, p.1). The Beer Game: The Beer game is a learning tool which was made by the MIT. This Beer game obviously portrays the dynamic plan of the SCM. This game will be played between the merchant, distributer, and retailer. As presented in the video, the educator has played the game with the gathering of people who are accessible there and the principle target of this diversion is to limit the aggregate cost and furthermore demonstrates how one division of store network is tried and true on the other segment (Larry, 2012, p.1). The Bullwhip effect - The Bullwhip effect is a strategy which is utilized as a part of the SCM. This Bullwhip effect estimates the need in production network and the execution wasteful aspects. The primary explanation for the bullwhip effect is absence of correspondence. The Bullwhip effect can be unraveled by adjusting the precision in the data by keeping up the straightforwardness in the data( Forklifts.com 2012, p.1). References Forklifts.com.(2012).

Disaster preparedness
A disaster refers to a serious disruption, or unexpected event occurring in short time, and which
completely or partially disrupts the normal functions of a community and involves widespread
human, economic, material, environmental destruction. Disasters can be seen as a result of
poorly managed risk. It is a product of a number of hazards and vulnerability. There is no
guarantee that a country can be prone to disaster since it is an unexpected event. But there are
steps that could be taken to keep the country prepared for any such occurrence. Several
institutions including the Department of Homeland Security, Centers for Disease Control,
the Red Cross and other organizations have been instituted to help in times of disaster
occurrence.
Many countries today have set a huge amount of money to cater for future disastrous events in
case they happen. But we do not put a lot of emphasis on the simple disaster that are man-made
or rather triggered by man’s activities. Huge fires have recently become the worst dis...
