For this assignment, evaluate your community to identify a hazard that poses a particular threat to access and functional needs populations. Formulate plans for the evacuation and sheltering of a specific segment of that population in the event of a disaster. For example, if you identify a low-income area that is at risk of flooding, select a structure, such as a hospital, school, housing complex, or assisted living facility that would require special attention during the response and recovery phase of a disaster. Formulate plans for dealing with the population inhabiting the structure during and after a disaster.

Your plans should include the following (1,250-1,500 words):

Identify the population and structure and explain why you think they are especially at risk from the hazard you have identified.

Formulate plans for evacuating the population during the disaster. Who would be involved in the evacuation of this population? What special concerns would need to be addressed during the evacuation operation? How would evacuation plans be most effectively communicated to this population?

Formulate plans for sheltering the population in the immediate aftermath. Where could this population be safely sheltered in the short-term? What are the best long-term sheltering options for this population in the event of an ongoing recovery process? What specific challenges are involved with sheltering this population in both the short- and long-term? How might those challenged be addressed?

Describe social factors and social determinants that can influence disaster recovery. Develop recommended best practices for the possibility of sheltering people that may overburden the equipment and staff of the current shelter.
Comment on how well you think your community is currently prepared to evacuate and shelter special needs populations overall. Recommend two strategies your community should consider for improving its plans.

Case 24 Resigning From the TV Station Jane Rye is a student of advertising at the local state university and will graduate at the end of the next term. She has a part-time job in the sales department at a local television station. When hired, Rye thought she was very lucky to have a job there, not only for the money but also for the work experience. Pat Trent, the sales manager who hired her, was Ryes immediate supervisor. Rye was doing a very good job and received considerable support from Trent. In fact, the sales manager had nothing but praise for Ryes work when reporting to top management. Trent often told her direct report that her work was exceptional and Trent would like to hire her on a permanent basis after graduation to head a new media research department for the station. The job seemed to promise a challenging and rewarding career. While Rye was flattered by the offer, she was not interested in the position because she found her present job unsatisfying. However, she never told Trent her feelings about the job or the possible appointment. Because Trent had trained Rye and had promoted her to everyone, Rye had become very loyal and grateful to her sales manager. Thus, Rye thought she would betray Trent if she were to refuse the job. After six weeks, however, Rye decided to quit and work part-time at the university, but she did not know how to approach her boss. Rye, feeling unable to say anything unpleasant to Trent, let time pass until the day she was ready to quit to start her new job. When Rye got to work that day, the sales manager was scheduled to leave town later that morning. Rye was forced to go into Trents office while two other people were there discussing another matter. Trent asked Rye what she wanted, and Rye replied, I am resigning. The sales manager was taken completely by surprise, asked Rye why she was resigning, and wondered what was to be done with the project Rye was handling. Rye apologized for such short notice. Rye explained that she was taking a part-time job at the school starting tomorrow. Trent, very disappointed in her direct report, said, If you had told me sooner, I could have transferred the project to someone elsenow Im in a bind.

Questions

1- How should Rye have handled her resignation?

2- Where, when, and how do you think Rye should have resigned? Do you think Trent would have understood under different circumstances?

3- How did Trent foster Ryes reluctance to communicate?

4- What are some possible long-term repercussions of the way Rye handled her resignation?
