The process of planning for a possible disaster starts with the planning committee coming up with a risk analysis. The impact of several disaster scenarios including the impact and consequences of the different scenarios needs to be analyzed to determine the impact to the business. To keep Sunica Music and Movie up and running during a disaster the critical facets of the business need to be functional regardless of the disaster. The following departments are detrimental to the continued success of the business during a disaster: key functional operations, key personal, vital records, processing systems, vital records, information and documentation, and policies and procedures. To determine which departments and organizations need to be back online first to sustain to smallest amount of impact, process and operations need to be analyzed to find what the time frame is that each area of the business can function without each critical system.
The primary goal of the BCP for Mosaic is to have the Incident Response team in place so that systems, networks and data are recovered in a timely manner. During the course of an event, the incident response team is initiated and the Business unit SME is called upon when the systems they managed are directly affected during the Recovery phase. During this phase the Business unit SME will recover the systems from good known backups in the least amount of time possible. Once the systems, networks and/or data is recovered the Business Unit SME will notify management that systems, networks and/or data has been recovered. For example, during the event of a malicious code that was located on a business critical file server.
Specifically, Durkheim’s theory will be looked at under the microscope, as it applies to the “Buffalo Creek Disaster.” The specific levels of social integration will be examined as they relate to this disaster, and the events that make it up both during and after the immediate tragedy. Through examining the events of The Buffalo Creek Flood, social integration and social regulation will prove to relate differently to the outcomes of the event, especially in individual circumstances. Durkheim’s studies, not just those on social integration and regulation, but also those on lives in general, support balance. Durkheim’s vast view of society and both the individualistic and collective roles that are shared by a people explain his later views on detachment (Durkheim, 250). One of the principles of Durkheimian thought is that of social integration: achieved by the combining of multiples individual roles in one society.
Boor shows this when he writes, “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). The only reason his parents told him the truth is Paul confronted them. While they admitted that he had a right to know, they justified their reason for not telling him earlier. Paul may have understood that his parents’ love led to their over protection but he probably distrusted his parents and their ability to tell him the whole truth. Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life.

If there is a flood risk, then the flood gates can be closed. The protection of the North Norfolk coast is allocated via a cost-benefit analysis. This is when the cost of the sea defences is compared to the economic value of the area being protected. If the cost is not justified, then the area does not receive any new defences. If the cost of installing new defences is met by the benefit of the area, then a SMP (Shoreline Management Plan) is developed.
Assistance with funding the installation of levees, making grants available and having community fundraisers will help assist in accomplishing the goals of this plan. Support of The Department of Environmental Protection will help to institute recommended guidelines pertaining to flooding prevention and protection of the environment from flooding. Anthropogenic impacts on river flooding are visible in changed river management practices. (Daniel, Florax & Rietveld, 2009).
