Our project is to make a blueprint for Arkansas Storm Shelter or Home advisor to use to make a storm shelter. At school getting under desks isn't safe enough but with the storm shelter we will be safer. All of the students, teachers, and parents will benefit from this because the students and teachers will be safer and the parents won't have an injured or killed child. My team in Logan Halfacre and Matthew Heartsel. Our storm shelter will be done by the end of the year. We have used sketchUp to make the blueprint. We will get our grant from grant gopher. After our research towards Arkansas Storm Shelter and Home advisor that we have done, the have low costs and have done good jobs. We will need to get permission from the school board to build
I would inform them so that they could assist me and my mission and also so that they could provide me with possible solutions. I would also call the bank and set up an account just for scholarship awards. I would send my team to contact Re/max to scout for buildings with farmland nearby so that we could start working on the first neighborhood center before building the rest of them. Re/Max has been around for over 40 years and is “is a leader in the commercial and investment arenas”. Although it would cost more, I would get it furnished by local small independent businesses. The centers would focus on making the people independent and teaching core values and ethics to make them a more productive part of society. They could grow and tend to the land and feed themselves and the neighborhood. I would get homedepot to help with the gardening supplies, fruit and vegetable seeds, and sheds for the supplies. I would also reach out to Big Brothers and Big Sisters so that neighborhood kids could have good role models to look up to. It is an organization that “helps children realize their potential and build their futures….nurture children and strengthen communities.” I would have to recruit teachers to help at the facility as well. Whether it be art, music, dance, home
The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was a natural disaster that left the people of Galveston with an unimaginable and terrifying experience,various personal stories, and a massive cleanup job that led to building the sea wall and raising the elevation of the city. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was the biggest natural disaster in American history. When it came there was little warning and once the citizens were warned it was too late to leave. The waves and rain from the hurricane flooded the whole city over fifteen feet high with water. During the storm people experienced many events that would change their lives. Everyone who survived this hurricane had a story, a story that could be tragic, happy, or full of stress. Once the storm was over there was an immense amount of debris that needed to be cleaned up. The people of Galveston had to look for bodies and people who were buried alive. Galveston had to rebuild everything and start all over. The people living there came up with an idea to build a seawall that would protect Galveston from large waves created by another hurricane. They then also raised the city by as much as 17 feet in some areas.
My final project concerns the homeless population in Baltimore City. Specifically, I am interested in homeless individuals who have a substance abuse disorder. There are several stakeholders involved in the homelessness issue. The stakeholders are as follows: Shelters, city police departments, outreach volunteers, Baltimore housing program, family members of the homeless, Baltimore’s homeless network and organizations, counselors,
My topic is going to be about the unification and recovery of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It has been nearly ten years since the disaster of Hurricane Katrina. Many promises have been made when it comes to the rebuilding of the city. According to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, as with most disasters, after Hurricane Katrina politicians and boosters were promising the city would be rebuilt and it would be bigger and better than before (Kates). Though often, after a disaster, cities are given empty promises and it seems that despite a slow process the people of New Orleans are determined to create for themselves a new and better home. The city of New Orleans was left in ruin and disaster
Before applying this strategy, the teacher have to concern that assistance could be given in ensuring that resources to support the project are available. Also, the teacher can facilitate the process by providing explicit directions so that the students will not get some confusion during the
In my opinion, the least enjoyable of the three stories was A Sense of Shelter by John Updike. The overly dramatic imagery and dragging prose of Updike’s writing style is something I find to be very bothersome. Personally, I am not a fan of the plot, message, or really anything about the story; owing to the fact that, boring, awkward, and dramatic high-school stories are not that entertaining to me. Conversely, I do believe it has its place as a story that should be read and thought about. A Sense of Shelter is a realistic fiction short-story, which is set in a mid-1900s school, and tells the tale of an awkward teen called William Young. I do not believe the time period had much of an effect on how everything in the story played out; however,
When a storm strikes, the aftermath of destruction that it leaves behind can be absolutely horrific. A hurricane can destroy houses, cars, towns, cities, and sometimes even states. A hurricane can cause fatalities, millions and millions of dollars in damages, but most important, in just a couple of hours, a hurricane can change your life for good. So what is a hurricane? According to NASA, hurricanes are simply just a large swirling storm. (Knows!) Such a basic definition for such a destructive event. When you think about just a large swirling storm you generally don’t come to think about a hurricane or even a tropical storm. However, hurricanes can produce winds speeds of over 160 mph and can unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons of rain a day. The title, “Hurricane” does not apply everywhere in the world. In northern India and Bay of Bengal they are known as cyclones. In the western Pacific Ocean they are known as typhoons.
The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina brought about significant social, political, and economic shifts in New Orleans, especially for certain underprivileged groups. I will be discussing how two papers—“Why Katrina's Victims Aren't Refugees: Musings on a ‘Dirty’ Word” by Adeline Masquelier and “Who Dat?: Race and Its Conspicuous Consumption in Post-Katrina New Orleans” by Marc D. Perry—both deal with these developments. More specifically, I will discuss how they each examine the concept of “otherness” in New Orleans within the context of Hurricane Katrina. These two articles are similar in that they both delineate certain groups in New Orleans that are considered “other” by those in power (and are essentially talking about the same group), and describe similar ways in how the “other” are dealt with; they are different in that Perry’s article focuses on the changes post-Katrina, while Masquelier’s article uses Katrina to show how previous institutions were amplified.
In order to implement this project we will need to schedule a meeting with Housing and Urban Development. We will also need to create a plan of action surrounding the proposed activities. We could create action teams in order to assign person’s tasks. We will need to formulate a goal plan with obtainable goals. We will also have to find an area of development and create a projected budget. It would be beneficial to contact agencies for assistance. Create a timeline for tasks to be developed. Lastly, we can conduct seminars on the importance of affordable housing. An accurate cost analysis is the first step in an effort to finance and implement this proposed project. By building a housing complex for single mothers with children who have low-income, this will allow them to have access to affordable housing. To help determine the effectiveness of the program and to ensure that the projected goals are reached Shaw University social work students will collectively conduct tenant satisfaction surveys and also interview tenants prior to receiving assistance form the housing program. After tenants have received assistance data will then be collected using the same methods as before. Tenants will be expected to take a survey on what they expect from the housing program.
Choosing to adopt from no-kill shelter rather than a kill shelter simply because they do not support the assisted killing of healthy animals only proves an opposition of direct killing of an animal. Any animal shelters purpose is to save lives, with the right amount of funding, initiative programs, and partnerships any shelter can cross the line draw at 90% and become a no-kill shelter. The true difference between a no-kill and a kill shelter is having the moral responsibility to not allow the needless suffering of animals where it can be avoided. When presenting each type of shelter, kill and no kill, with minimal amount of funding and capacity, each will account for their own ethics first before contemplating the morality of their choices. In this scenario, a kill shelter will accomplish the issues of overpopulation avoiding hunger and spread of diseases by euthanizing unwanted animals while being able
Organization depends on the reliable and continuous operations throughout disasters, it is key effective for business to get out of disaster with the minimum damage, and able to back to their normal operations quickly. Year after year the growth of the technology make it part of every business and aspect of life, not just business.
Roofing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States today. According to listverse.com, roofing places eighth among the top ten most fatal occupations. There are positive effects of working on roofs, and, unfortunately many ill effects related to this occupation. Does the good that comes from roofing outweigh the bad?
Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other naturally occurring disaster will come in surprise and will cause damage to infrastructure and loss of life. Even though many natural disasters are unpredictable, “it is possible to assess the circumstances that increase vulnerability to a natural disaster ahead of time and take steps to prevent complications” (Harkness and DeMarcus, 2016, p. 407). Coordination with community leaders and providers is essential to effective preparation and successful disaster response. In instances of catastrophic events, leaders are needed to direct people and ensure that everyone is safe and all areas are attended. Good coordination with community leader and providers will lead to better preparedness and easy
A tropical cyclone is a warm-core, low-pressure system producing high winds that spiral counter-clockwise (in the northern hemisphere) and inward, with the highest winds near the center of circulation. The large counter-clockwise and inward flow is characteristic of the nearly symmetric structure of tropical cyclones as they are comprised of rain bands spiraling toward the center. These warm-core storms typically form over the tropical and subtropical oceans and extract their energy from the heat content of the oceans.
