Outline the risk portfolio of the selected community (e.g., flood zones; high-value terror target).

HLS480 ASS1

Conduct a risk assessment on a community of your choice, with specific focus on a specific facility or system within that community that you determine is part of the broader community’s critical infrastructure (e.g., hospital, water system, power system). You should select the community (town, city, county, region, state, or nation) considering the availability of information that exists or your access to information (e.g., your ability to interview community leaders).
Assignment Guidelines
• Address the following in 1,000 words:
o Describe (briefly) the community and why you selected it (e.g., demographics, topography/geography, climate, criticality of CI, political issues).
o Outline the risk portfolio of the selected community (e.g., flood zones; high-value terror target).
 How did you compile that list?
o What other risk portfolio and assessments for the community exist (e.g., local hazard mitigation plan, DHS assessments)? Explain.
o Describe the critical facility or system that you selected, and describe why it is critical to the selected community.
o What are the possible/probable outcomes of the risks that you identified as occurring as they relate to the whole community and, in greater detail, to the specific infrastructure you selected? Explain in detail.
o What are the possible/probable cascading effects at the local, regional, national, or international level should one of the risks occur and affect the critical facility/infrastructure you selected? Explain in detail.

Select a community with which to conduct your community analysis.

Community analysis and interaction consequences of flooding in the Admiralty Islands

Task
Select a community with which to conduct your community analysis. As per Topic 4 in your Study Guide, your community needs to be large enough to enable you to address all the assessment task features. It also needs to be small enough to be manageable and to ensure that your analysis does not become so broad as to be of no use.

It is helpful to select a community that is within your reach and easily accessible to you, for instance the one you live in or work in.

After working through Topics 1 to 6 you are to conduct a community analysis in which you are to:
Part 1 Describe your community in terms of socio-economic and physical characteristics
Part 2 Explain the interaction consequences of an emergency event
Part 3 List the recovery needs of your community

Part 1 Describe Your Community 30 marks
Introduction
Introduce your selected community in a brief overview (i.e. geography, history, climate, and so on.)

Social-economic characteristics
Describe the socio-economic characteristics of your selected community You may describe the economic characteristics separately if you wish.

Physical characteristics
Describe the physical characteristics of your selected community

Part 2 Interaction Consequences 35 marks
In Part 2 you are asked to consider the interaction of your chosen community with either a specific threat (for example a flood) or following Mark Sullivan’s paper, a generic threat. On the one hand you have your community and on the other hand a potential threat – put them together, and what do you get? What are the interaction consequences?
Having summarised your chosen community you should now describe the interaction consequences of a threat/threats impacting on that community. You may be flexible with your approach to this section and select the headings that best suit your community and threat. If you are stuck, you may like to consider the following prompts:

1. Identify the threat/hazard/emergency situation.

2. Describe the implications of the threat on your community, highlighting potential problems and opportunities:

• Area affected
• People affected
• Property affected
• Facilities and services affected
• Anything else of relevance that may be affected

3. What conclusions can you draw to complete this section, regarding your chosen community’s capabilities, both social and physical?
Alternatively, you could consider writing about the interaction consequences through some of the following prompts:

• Consequences arising from previous emergencies
• Societal consequences and community expectations
• Combined geographical and infrastructure consequences
• Consequences of building design
and so on

You are encouraged to be creative and design your own structure; these are suggestions to get you thinking.
As you complete this assignment bear in mind that in Assessment Task 2 you will consider the recovery strategies that flow from the interaction consequences you are now describing.

Part 3 Recovery Needs and Conclusion 25 marks
List the recovery needs of your community as a result of the emergency event.
Construct a Conclusion which draws together the main points of your community, the interaction consequences of an emergency event and the needs that it creates.

HIS 105 Assignment 1.1: Industrialization After the Civil War Thesis and Outline

Assignment 1.1: Industrialization After the Civil War Thesis and Outline
Due Week 3 and worth 70 points

After the Civil War, the United States became a much more industrialized society. Between 1865 and 1920, industrialization improved American life in many ways. However, industrialization also created problems forAmerican society. Consider events that took place after the Civil War and discuss ways that industrialization affected the U.S. between 1865 and 1920.

For the first part of this assignment you will createa thesis statement. A thesis statement is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader. The body of the essay organizes the material you gather andpresent in support of your main idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. (Note: Please consult the Purdue OWL Website with tips on how to construct a proper thesis; the website can be found at: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/

The hospice nurse sat with Ann’s husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room’s only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann’s bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. “She would ride like the wind was chasing her.” Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears “Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling.” Ben turned “Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie’s husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night.” Ben turned back as a deep sign escaped from Ann’s lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe. Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse’s theory of Human Becoming?

 Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to include title page, level headings, and a reference page. 
Case Study
The hospice nurse sat with Ann's husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room's only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann's bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. "She would ride like the wind was chasing her." Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears "Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling." Ben turned "Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie's husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night." Ben turned back as a deep sign escaped from Ann's lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.
Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse's theory of Human Becoming?
What are characteristics of a humanbecoming nurse?  What are strengths and weaknesses to this theory of nursing?
What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?
How might Parse's understanding of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann's death became a reality to Ben?
From the nursing theories we have discussed, what theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)
The APA formatted paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1250 and 1500 words in length.
Text book is Nursing Theories and nursing Practice by Marlaine C. Smith & Marilyn E. Parker

of information e.g. on each of the different stakeholders) and quality of
information (e.g. how do you know it is true?) made available by each of the
above three corporations in relation to sustainability concerns of the various
stakeholders [e.g. compare what they say about themselves to what others
say about them-look at their website, sustainability reports, other media
commentary]

Component 3: Systems Approach-Outline your understanding of some
relevant NZ / international government policies (e.g. minimum wage; wine
act requirements). To what extent do and don’t these encourage a systems
approach to sustainability?
