Scenario:

Heavy rain falls are expected to affect your community beginning in 16 hours and continuing for three to four days. Predicted rainfall amounts may flood several low-lying neighborhoods in your community and make many major streets impassable. You have been assigned to coordinate the response of your community to this event for the first 12-hour operational period, beginning in four hours. The mayor has asked you to report to him your plan for organizing the preliminary management of this incident, as well as an idea of major cost calculations for the incident.

Assignment:

Prepare your incident management organizational chart for the first 12-hour operational period utilizing ICS Form 207 from the FEMA website. Beyond the command and general staff level, it is only necessary to detail the operations and planning section functions. Identify resources in your community that could realistically be expected to fill those roles.
Using ICS Form 202 from the same FEMA website, identify at least three operations section objectives and three planning section objectives for the first 12-hour operational period. Write the shortest appropriate SMART objectives in sentence form.

One of the most important aspects of safety is ensuring our equipment is properly prepared and we are familiar with them. You have been designated as the safety officer for your station and have been asked by various commanders to develop checklists that identify essential components and procedures for the health and safety of emergency service personnel. Choose one piece of equipment (e.g., ladder, helmet, SCBA, etc.) and develop a 2-page checklist for the preparation for use of this piece of equipment. This checklist should incorporate all aspects of the piece of equipment that ensure its readiness for not only training but also response.

In addition, the 2-page checklist will include information for placing the piece of equipment back in service following an incident. This checklist should detail cleaning and inspection procedures, criteria for placing the unit out of service, and safety criteria that personnel should be aware of.

Once the checklist is completed, you will write a 1–2-page memo that you will submit to the various commanders reporting on the checklist you have developed and include the following information:

The purpose and importance of the equipment checklist.
The variations from this checklist from a similar equipment check before training, before emergency response, and after use.
The important differences personnel should be aware of regarding the checklists.
The role that you as the individual performs when inspecting the piece of equipment.
How concerns should be addressed including taking the piece of equipment out of service and criteria for doing so.
Address any additional comments or criteria to be considered when the equipment inspections are to be completed.
Discuss the safety implications associated with both checklists and why personnel should utilize them for their safety as well as the safety of the members of their department.

10. “The Athletes have been silent partners in the practice of sport diplomacy”. How far do you agree, and to what extent does it matter?

Feedback:
reflexivity in its thinking.

Areas for improvement:
Your writing needs a degree reflexivity: you need to be able to address why something is important? i.e. the ‘So What’ question: – so what does it matter that protests are silent (or not).
Your work needs a greater sense of concatenation – i.e. coherence. Do think about linkages between different sections to increase the coherence of your argument. It is important to consider how these flow together.
A thorough read through would help in your expression: your meaning is not always clear in what you’ve written, and avoid a number of minor errors.

Alliance members work together to change or demolish oppressive structures. According to the United Nations Development Program, they strive to achieve an ideal of a society in which the allocation of resources is equal, and all members of society are physically and mentally safe and secure. Children in the foster care system are a group of individuals who, in my view, need to have someone on their side, and I consider myself to be one of those people due to my work history background. Children are often removed from their families due to the severe damage done to the child welfare system, either to protect them or because they are not receiving the care or therapy they need. Due to their extended placement in the foster care system, many children get inadequate help. Some even become corrupt due to their protracted placement in the system.
An ally that I would continue to advocate for would be teenagers in foster care: their vulnerability and the need to be protected just as much as younger children. Many communities are missing this overly populated group because most people lack knowledge about the foster care system and the welfare of children placed in the system. According to the adopt us Kids website, there are over 400,000 in the US in foster care, which shows us statistically l there is a great need. “Every child deserves a home” (Dave Thomas) with the vastly growing number of children in care and drastically low number of foster homes to take in children currently. The teenagers tend to get lost in the everyday revolving door of the foster care system due to many homes not wanting to accept them because they are teenagers. This also does not count the teenagers facing criminal charges, mental health diagnoses, etc. Becoming allies for this population could hopefully provide continued education and resources to bridge the gap between this population and the communities in which they live.
A potential obstacle would be encountering resistance from a teenager in the system due to a lack of trust and maltreatment while receiving care. We can see some stubbornness and resistant behaviors with the teenagers because they are very familiar with the system. They believed that their case was unique and no one could help them when it is prevalent and different avenues can help them: almost all the cases when handling teenagers involve running away and refusals. The only way to overcome these potential obstacles is to be persistent and be motivated to promote change within these individuals.

Social Science Question. Social Science Question. i. Self-determination
Mack opens up about wanting to commit suicide to his peers first then to me. Other than telling me about his plans, he further asks me to keep it a secret. In as much as Mack’s right to self-determination should be upheld and encouraged, and he should be guided in establishing and defining his goals. When his behaviors or projected actions represent a grave, predictable, and imminent risk to my clinical judgment, I could limit his right to self-determination. Mack clearly expresses his suicidal thoughts and this poses a risk to his life and the mental health of his parents. I would obtain consent from him to inform his parents so that they offer him the support he needs and make the situation at home more conducive for Mack considering his current mental health. If Mack does not consent, the plan would be to go ahead and inform them as is required of me because keeping this information confidential is more detrimental than it is of any good to him.
In Mack’s case, I would call in his parents and discuss with them his suicidal thought so that they can watch him closely while at home and create an environment for him at home that lowers his chances of going through with his plans. Where disclosure is necessary to avert substantial, anticipated, and impending danger to a client or other identifiable person, or when laws or regulations demand disclosure without a client’s agreement, the common assumption that social workers will keep information private does not hold (NASW-Code of ethics). The plan would be to explore the option of obtaining consent from him before involving his parents by explaining clearly to him why his parents should know about his suicidal thoughts and why it is great benefit for him. When possible, social workers should notify clients about the disclosure of confidential information and the potential implications before the disclosure is made. This is true whether social workers share confidential information because of a legal requirement or because the client has given their approval (The NASW-Code of ethics).
ii. Strengths of Mack
The first strength about Mack’s situation is that he is actually opening up about his suicidal thoughts. This is a strength because it is a call for help. This is help seeking behavior and it shows that even though he is planning on committing suicide, he is ready to receive help. Mack opening up is a call for help. Gives us time and room to step in and give him all the help he needs. It also gives us a chance to address the issues triggering these thoughts and possibly address them and save his life.
The second strength in Mack’s situation is that even though he has these suicidal thoughts, he is not sure if he’ll actually execute them. This is a strength because him not being sure about whether he will commit suicide or not allows us a chance to step in and convince him otherwise. Furthermore, the fact that he is not sure if he will do it, gives us more time to step in and offer needed treatment before he progresses to attempting suicide.
The third strength is that Mack is able to express his feelings of anger, how he feels about his parents’ divorce and how much he misses his brother. This shows that he has insight of his current situation and makes it easy to intervene because he clearly states the triggers.
iii. How would you use these strengths
A comparison of teenagers with severe and mild suicide ideation revealed that in times of stress, family, school, and peers can operate as useful support systems. The key to accessing these support systems is a tight interpersonal bond. The importance of the school as a support system is emphasized (King, C. A., Hovey, J. D., Brand, E., Wilson, R.,
