Assume you are the local emergency manager for your community.  You have conducted a risk analysis and identified a hazard that presents an imminent threat to your community.  You and your team have drafted a proposal of an emergency operations plan for your mayor or commissioners that covers preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery for the identified hazard. 

For your assignment this week prepare a powerpoint presentation to present to your mayor or commissioners that includes, at a minimum, the following information:

 • an overview of the hazard and your analysis of the threat 

• the sequence of events, resources, and any participants that you and the planning committee would include in the emergency operations plan

 • how to share this plan with city/county officials, response organizations, and the public and if there be opportunity for feedback

 • the identification of specific roles in the plan

 • and whose buy-in and support you need to ensure the effectiveness of the plan and how you propose to secure it. 

You should ensure your powerpoint presentation presents a clear plan based on your analysis of the situation. You should use a minimum of three sources to support your plan. These sources may include applicable federal, state, or local laws, as well as research or other sources relevant to your plan.

 Your powerpoint presentatin should contain a minimum of ten slides, not including your title and reference slides. All sources used must be properly cited, including pictures and images.

Week 7: The Affordable Care Act 9393 unread replies.119119 replies. This week’s graded discussion topic relates to the following Course Outcomes (COs). CO4 Evaluate the delivery of care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities based on theories and principles of nursing and related disciplines. (PO 1) CO7 Apply professional nursing standards and ethical principles to provide spiritually and culturally appropriate care. (PO 6) CO8 Demonstrate effective communication strategies and teamwork in managing the healthcare of individuals, families, aggregates, and communities. (PO 3) The Affordable Care Act is a controversial topic, and there probably are many different viewpoints represented in our class. For this discussion, let’s start by focus on understanding the basics of the Healthcare Marketplace so that we can provide accurate information to our patients and communities. Please explore the healthcare marketplace website at https://www.healthcare.gov/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Choose the Get Answers tab toward the top of the page. Review several of the topics in this tab and share two things that you learned about how the marketplace works. How does this information apply to those in your community? As a healthcare provider, has this raised any ethical questions or concerns for you?

The Research Process

1. Choose a poem we have read so far that you like and are intrigued by.
2. Use the library databases to find an article on that poem or on the poet who wrote it. It can be literary criticism (someone’s article about their interpretation of the poem) or biographical (details about the poet’s life and background). Don’t use an article about a different poem, though.
3. Read the article and highlight passages that you think are interesting, or that make good points. It’s okay if you don’t understand everything in the entire article – literary criticism can be challenging to read! Focus on the points that you do understand. If you feel like the entire article is confusing, choose a different one, though. No one wants you to feel lost and confused.
4. Write a brief paragraph (three or four sentences is great) about the poem or poet. Incorporate at least one quote from the poem and one quote from the article. Remember that quotes should be integrated into your own sentences. There’s an example below. If you’re not sure how to format your quote, click this link for the Purdue OWL guide.
5. Include internal citations for your quotations. Poems should be cited with author’s last name and a line number (line of the poem the quote comes from). Articles should be cited with author’s last name and a page number. There’s an example below, but if you need more help with internal citations, click this link for Purdue OWL’s guide to that.
6. Include a Works Cited list for your paragraph. It should include the poem and the article. Remember that the database can usually provide the citation in MLA format for you. For more help and examples of Works Cited page, click this link for the Purdue OWL guide to Works Cited pages.
In Adrienne Rich’s poem “Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers,” the speaker describes her aunt Jennifer as “terrified” (9) and “mastered by” (10) conflicts in her life. The speaker’s description gives readers as much information about her, the niece, as it does about the aunt. As one scholar argues, the speaker is making “judgments” about Aunt Jennifer (Rizza 65). Jennifer is, after all, able to “flutter” (Rich 5) her hands to do needlework, though the speaker views her hands as being under the “massive weight” of a wedding band (Rich 7). Michael Rizza sees this description as “contradictory,” and attributes the symbolic weight of the ring to “the niece’s judgment more than actual description” (65). It is not clear that Aunt Jennifer feels as weighed down as her niece perceives her to be.
