There is a very big difference that helps prepare for a volcanic hazard and that is whether you are in a MEDC or a LEDC. In a MEDC monitoring volcanic zones and potential hazards is an option many LEDC’s don’t have. In Italy at Mt Etna they have Geo-monitoring programs which focus on the analysis of any changes. This option open to the Italians is not an option for LEDC who don’t have the wealth or public education to set up these stations. The Colombian volcano, Nevado del Ruiz, came to life in late 1984 with small-scale activity.
This could be a problem if an eruption was to take place at the Yucca Mountain or close by. An eruption could cause damage to the facility or in the worst case magma flowing through the facility which could damage canisters holding radioactive
Countries that are more developed are usually prepared for the earthquake to occur because warnings around the area go out to make sure everyone knows that an earthquake is going to occur. However countries that are not economically developed have more problems because they don’t know when an earthquake is about to occur and they don’t have emergency plan for their earthquakes. In the USA earthquakes happen often and are mange very well because the government prepares people for earthquake. As the USA develops more over the years, we can see that there have been improvements. In the year 1906, San Francisco, had a major earthquake causing 3,000 people to die.
In the last 30 years there have been multiple examples of where volcanic and seismic events have had an impact on both MEDCs and LEDCs. Some of these include the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the 2011 Japanese earthquake and the consequential tsunami. In this essay I will show how the impact of volcanic and seismic events have a greater impact on poorer countries than on richer countries. Although prevention of either a volcanic eruption or a seismic event isn’t possible, it is possible to manage them and reduce the overall impact. In theory, this is easier for MEDC’s due having more advantaged technologies and more money available to spend on monitoring the ‘danger zone’ and then warning and planning for the hazard.
Although some forms of HRT place women at higher risk for breast cancer, weekly BSE is not necessary. C. "Since you have had a hysterectomy, performing BSE twice a year is adequate." D. A hysterectomy does not reduce the risk for breast cancer. E. "Follow the same timing cycle you used when you had regular menstrual periods." F. Ease in keeping track of a schedule is important to improve compliance.
Additionally, NFPA standards are not laws. NFPA standards must first be adopted by the local jurisdiction in order to be enforced. Unlike, NIOSH and OSHA whose regulations become law once voted on by congress and are enforceable without local adoption. Over the past several decades the number of deaths in the fire service has remained relatively the same while the number of injuries has decreased dramatically. This may be due to a shift in the type of calls to which firefighters respond.
Scanlan as public administrator may have used the media and public radio stations to inform the public of the possibility of the explosion and this may have forced the owners and authorities to take action sooner than they decided to take action. This measure taken may have given Scanlan the leverage he needed in order to invoke action on the part of the miners
This would be a new idea to the system and doctors and/or nurses won’t be very fond of this new method of running things. Hospitals think that the way they are running things is just fine and that there is no need for improvement. Gawande’s concept will take time to sink in. The article “Free For All” shows that by making health care free to the Jamaican public, it did not help the people in need nor did it benefit the health care system. A lot of people were seeking treatment, but there was a limited amount of resources because there was no money coming in.
Mountaintop removal is not the type of mining that you would have seen in the movies. There are no prospectors walking around with picks, and the miners are not going deep underground to obtain the coal. This technique is a fairly recent type of mining, and has only been occurring over the past few decades. To explain the concept of mountaintop removal, Tom Zeller, of the New York Times, states that “Today, companies like Massey Energy rely on contentious techniques like mountaintop removal, in which explosives and vast machinery are used to lop off hilltops to expose coal seams for easy extraction.” The quote, as well as the cartoon (above) displays the techniques that are used in mountaintop removal, and provides good insight on the process of mountaintop removal. Throughout Appalachia this process has been occurring, and has lead to outrage among many people across these areas, and even the nation.
The command and control approach typically relies on detailed regulations followed by an ongoing audit and inspection program. Command and control regulations have some benefits. One example is in a situation in which the pollutant is highly toxic, yet the public concern would outweigh any economic efficiency concerns. Another example occurs when the reduction in the amount of pollutant benefits a society. An example of a disadvantage includes attempting to keep technology current with the most effective methods.
