Chilean Mine Collapse Cheryl McIntire BCOM/275 May 21st, 2012 Eileen Broyles Chilean Mine Collapse The Chilean mine collapse represents itself and many other disasters that occur worldwide. Disasters and tragedies that involve company workers and families need special handling and care. Each person involved in the disaster personally will have family and friends who will become concerned with his or her welfare. Each communication that intended for a specific person in that circle of concerned family and friends must be written or spoken with the proper care and thought directed toward the purpose of the message. These disasters or tragedies may involve a company representative or set of selected representatives that may be

This may have diluted the immediacy and completeness of response activities in London. Murrah Building bombing: A case study. In retrospect, as described by Aylwin et al., the ability to maintain standards of trauma care is reduced by the casualty surge, while the ability to provide high-level trauma care is affected by the resources available in receiving medical institutions. Manzi, Powers, and Zetterlund, examined this incident and stated that numerous local, state, and federal agencies and departments responded to the Murrah bombing. Things that were observed with the in Oklahoma City and Atlanta include the necessity of having in place a networked strategic response team and plan, that is ready to spring into action when an attack takes
Also Kava is faced with natural disasters and HIV/AIDS epidemic The Army defines the criteria, goals, and objectives for the task at hand in an attempt to revive the economy of Kava.

There are several critical infrastructures involved with the homeland security, but I’m going to go into detail about 3 select ones. The first is public health with includes hospitals and ambulance’s. Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health. Without doctors, hospitals and ambulance’s we could have a lot of sick, dead and injured people in the world. Doctors help protect and save people from/with diseases.
Communications in Homeland Security Communication in Homeland Security hasn’t been very successful for example, with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and other agencies which has been an ongoing issue when a disaster/attack strikes. I’m going to discuss the various communication issues with the different agencies like FEMA including the public which will be more explored because of the recent disaster. I will discuss how both agencies work together, a little of each history and the communication and disconnect. The Federal Emergency Management Agency coordinates with the federal government's role in preparing for preventing, mitigating the effects of responding to, and recuperating from all domestic disasters, whether natural
One way is to have a role of global media coverage that will handle the information about the contaminated water in the area towns. The one effect of the globalization of communication is that reports from the media about the crisis situation can make the government react to the outcome of the media coverage. The way in which the media has to put information out to the public has become an issue of importance itself (Ale, Kersten, Voort, Vos, & Zoeteman, 2010). My team and I can deny any of the false information that the media is putting out, and provide accurate information, which would help keep the public from panicking. These technologies can be used to improve the communication with my team and increase the public trust that the situation is getting
It is important to show sensitivity and compassion to an individual that has experienced a traumatic event such as a disaster. Volunteers also need to wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Disasters typically involve a lot of debris, and damaged buildings may have unsafe areas. The second disaster scene I went on did not occur until near the end of my internship. This disaster was a wildfire in Austin, Texas (Eversley and Rice 2011).
Defense Support of Civil Authorities The Roles and Responsibilities of the Department of Defense in Support of Domestic Operations Cary L. Monbarren MSA585 Emergency, Disaster, and Contingency Planning February 19, 2013 Professor Steven McNally Southwestern College Professional Studies Abstract Recent events, both natural and man-made, have threatened the United States with loss of life and property. These events have shown how easily civilian first responders can be overwhelmed by large natural disasters or terror attacks and the continued need for military assets to be readily available to assist in life saving operations. It is important for the military to maintain this capability to respond to a broad range of emergencies, and also important for civil authorities to know these assets are available should they be called upon. Not only must there be a thorough understanding of the procedures necessary to request these forces, but also of the proper way to integrate them with local, state, and federal responders into the required missions utilizing the National response Framework and the National Incident Management System. Defense Support of Civil Authorities The Roles and Responsibilities of the Department of Defense in Support of Domestic Operations Introduction It is impossible to turn on the evening news without hearing about another potential threat to the citizens of the United States from a terror group or natural disaster.
