Using the emergency management plan that you selected in the Module Four short paper, critique the plan for compliance with foundational emergency management concepts and principles. Explain why you believe that plan does or does not exemplify the eight emergency management principles as described in the module overview. Include a special assessment of the plan’s response and recovery initiatives referencing the FEMA frameworks from this week’s required resources.

Part 1 should be 3 double-spaced pages.

Part 2 should be 1 double-spaced page.

Part 1: Analyze the Scenario

Using at least two of the provided scenarios:

• Analyze the ethical decision that the whistleblower faced as it relates to how they communicated.
• Consider the sender, receiver, message, and channel.
• Analyze the outcomes of the communication strategy.
• Make sure to consider how the communication was distributed, the possible intent, and the content of the communication.
• Describe the effectiveness of the communication in the scenario.
• Focus on how specific events were influenced by the communication.
• What were the primary failures and successes?

Part 2: Write a Communication

Imagine that you are working in the same industry as the whistleblower in your chosen scenario and have followed this sequence of events closely. Your research has provided you with a great deal that can be applied to your industry, and you are anxious to share your lessons learned from the situation.

• Write a communication to a colleague that conveys and reinforces the primary lessons learned from the incident.
• Be sure to focus on the actions of the whistleblower in your communication.
• The medium is your choice, but it is also very important, so state the medium you have chosen within your message and the reason you feel it is the most appropriate medium to use. Address possible reasons such as confidentiality, tone, and convention.

Boeing – In 2017, The Boeing Company introduced a new generation of its venerable 737aircraft called the 737 Max, featuring design and equipment modifications which changed in-flight characteristics compared to previous 737 aircraft. These changes were not fully communicated to all airline customers in 737 Max training materials, leading to two high-profile fatal airline crashes in 2018 and 2019. These crashes caused significant ripples in the airline industry, and negatively impacted Boeings reputation as an aircraft manufacturer. Boeing had multiple whistleblowers that raised safety and quality concerns. One of these was John Barnett, a quality control manager at Boeing, who reported his findings to management and the FAA.

OceanGate – In June 2023, the OceanGate submersible Titan embarked on a voyage to the wreck of the Titanic with five passengers, including the CEO, on board. The submersible experienced a catastrophic hull failure, resulting in the loss of the vessel and all passengers. David Lochridge, the director of marine operations, expressed concerns about the safety of the ship years prior to the disaster.

Qualitative data analysis involves interpreting data to understand what it represents. Data can be interpreted in various ways depending on the form of data analysis chosen. Write a 250-to-300-word response to the following: Compare and contrast some of the main forms of qualitative data analysis. You need to cite and reference at least 2 of the following: peer-reviewed academic journals, academic books, government and intergovernmental reports, primary source documents such as legal statutes, court cases original letters, historical archives, or original texts, or dissertations to support your assertions in APA 7 style, which you did.

Future Technology Data Center Case Study (continued)

Scenario

Charles’s Project Charter and a Statement of Work documents were positively received, and, after a few modifications and recommendations, he was formally charged with responsibility for the project. Charles recruited his team and scheduled their first team meeting (March 1) as the initial task of his project planning process.

Once the initial meeting is conducted Charles can hire contractors to renovate the new data center. During this time, Charles will figure out how to design the network. Charles estimates that screening and hiring a contractor will take about one week and that the network design will take about two weeks.

The new center requires a new ventilation system. The manufacturer’s requirements include an ambient temperature of 67 degrees to keep all of the data servers running at optimal speeds. The ventilation system has a lead time of three weeks. Charles will also need to order new racks to hold the servers, switches, and other network devices. The racks have a two-week delivery time.

The data center supervisor requested that Charles replace all of the old power supplies and data cables. Charles will need to order these as well. Because Charles has a great relationship with the vendor, they guarantee that it will take only one week lead time for the power supplies and the data cables. Once the new ventilation system and racks arrive, Charles can begin installing them.

It will take one week to install the ventilation system and three weeks to install the racks. The renovation of the new data center can begin as soon as the contractors have been hired. The contractors tell Charles that construction will take 20 days. Once the construction begins and after Charles installs the ventilation system and racks, the city inspector must approve the construction of the raised floor.

The city inspector will take two days to approve the infrastructure. After the city inspection and after the new power supplies and cables have arrived, Charles can install the power supplies and run the cables. Charles estimates that it will take five days to install the power supplies and one week to run all of the data cables. Before Charles can assign an actual date for taking the network off line and switching to the hot remote site, he must get approval from each of the functional units (“Switchover Approval”).

Meetings with each of the functional units will require one week. During this time he can initiate a power check to ensure that each of the racks has sufficient voltage. This will require only one day.

Upon completion of the power check, he can take one week to install his test servers. The test servers will test all of the primary network functions and act as a safeguard before the network is taken off line. The batteries must be charged, ventilation installed, and test servers up and running before management can be assured that the new infrastructure is safe, which will take two days. Then they will sign off the Primary Systems check, taking one day of intense meetings. They will also set an official date for the network move.

Charles is happy that everything has gone well thus far and is convinced that the move will go just as smoothly. Now that an official date is set, the network will be shut down for a day. Charles must move all of the network components to the new data center. Charles will do the move over the weekendtwo dayswhen user traffic is at low point.
