“FIRST…

Below you will see a file that contains the data for the JustLee database…the data is listed in table order…the tables are listed alphabetically…the first thing you need to do is to create the INSERT statements for the data…there are two catches to doing that…

The data in the file matches the way the fields in the database should be arranged and defined…if your tables are not defined correctly (or if they are defined differently from the data), you will not be able to INSERT the data as it is in the file…so be prepared to make changes…if that is the case, you are going to have to change your tables…

REMEMBER…you cannot insert data for a foreign key before the data is inserted for the primary key…so you need to make sure you insert data in the proper sequence…

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THIS AS A TEXT FILE…EVEN IF THE EXTENSION SAYS TXT IT CAN STILL BE A PDF…make sure you try opening the file to be sure…I WILL NOT GRADE A PDF FILE…

SECOND…

Just to give you a little practice, I have included THREE very basic SQLs for you to get to work…we will be doing a LOT more on the SELECT next week…but I want you to at least do a few basic items…the three SQLs you need to write are:

Display a list of all data contained in the BOOKS table (REMEMBER MY NOTE IN THE POWER POINT ON ‘*’)…

List the title and publication date for each book in the BOOKS table…use the column heading “Publication Date” for the pubdate…

Determine which categories are in the BOOKS table…list each category only once…

So NOW what exactly do you need to submit?…you again need to submit a text file…the file should contain the following items in the sequence outlined below:

ALL of your DROP statements first…

ALL of your CREATE statements next…

ALL of your CONSTRAINT statements…

ALL of your INSERT statements…

ALL of your DESCRIBE statements…

ALL of your CONSTRAINT VIEW statements…

ALL of your CONSTRAINT VIEW BY COLUMN statements…

ALL of your data displayed…

Your THREE homework SQLs…”

To learn more about crisis intervention and trauma-informed community-based strategies, you will contact a crisis response professional to interview (in person, by phone, or through Zoom), who knows of an existing crisis response plan. This person can be a counselor, school counselor, EMT, police officer, administrator, etc. (School counseling learners should identify a school counseling professional, teacher, or school administrator.) Identify the person you want to interview and their specific job or role, such as crisis counselor or a member of the Red Cross or Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or therapists who work with victims of PTSD or are involved in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) and arrange an interview. Once you arrange a personal interview, develop a set of open-ended questions that will allow you to gain a clear and complete picture of their crisis response plan as it currently exists. See the sample interview questions below. Ask your interviewee to give you a specific example of an actual crisis and the details of the crisis management plan they used to navigate the situation. Examine what you are told by the interviewee and compare it to the elements identified in the course studies. To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to do the following: Compare and contrast the elements of a real-world example of an emergency management plan, obtained through your personal interview of a professional in the field, to the elements identified in the course studies. Describe in detail the specific skills and knowledge required by a counselor in order to function effectively as a member of an interdisciplinary emergency management response team. Describe the types of training a counselor requires to develop the required skills and knowledge relevant to emergency management, including assessing risk of aggression or danger to others. Choose one of the special populations presented in Chapters 12, 13, or 14 and discuss additional resources available specifically to them (e.g., Military OneSource). Exhibit proficiency in effective, credible academic writing and critical thinking skills. Sample Interview Questions In a crisis, are there critical timelines to be considered? If so, what are they? Is there a developmental time sequence to a crisis? If so, describe it. Considering a community-wide crisis, who are the local people or organizations that I need to contact? In what order or sequence or time do I do that? Considering a community-wide crisis, who are the state and national people or organizations that I need to contact? In what order or sequence or time do I do that? What helpful or positive role can the local media play in helping to resolve the crisis? How does one facilitate this? What helpful or positive role can the national media play in helping to resolve the crisis? How does one facilitate this? Who are the critical players on your emergency management team? Why are they critical? What is the worst eco-systemic crisis you can imagine? Why? What kind of training, education, and experience do you believe should be required to be an effective and competent manager of a community-wide crisis such as the one you described above? Given a community-wide crisis such as a natural disaster, how do you go about coordinating and communicating an effective response? When the crisis situation exceeds your local capacities and resources to respond, how and when do you know who to call for help? What are your backup resources? Do you have redundancies in your system? In case I or any of my staff become incapacitated for any reason, are there people available who can effectively step in and assume the vacated responsibilities? What kind of emergency crisis interventions are going to be provided for those who survive? Who is going to provide the interventions? When will it happen? When and under what conditions will you declare the crisis situation terminated? Do you believe that current stress reduction procedures, such as CISD for emergency workers, are helpful? If yes, how so; if no, how not? What steps do you take to attend to your own stress and trauma as well as that of your staff? What are the response team’s goals, functions, operations, organizational structure, and responsibilities? Who is in charge of what security provisions? What balance needs to be maintained between security of staff and providing human services? What kinds of training do staff receive to prepare for emergencies? What screening devices are used for volunteer selection? Are they reliable and valid? What security personnel will be needed? Where and when? Are there emergency contingency plans for a variety of problems? Do staff members know what is expected of them under varying circumstances? Does the crisis response management team have a protocol for dealing with violent situations? Who is in charge of responding to threats or physical violence?

This three-page case study measures your mastery of ULOs 2.6 and 3.2.

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) serves as a critical framework for coordinating disaster preparedness and response at all levels of government. As an emergency manager, understanding how NIMS enhances local preparedness while mitigating legal liability is essential for ensuring compliance and effective incident management.

For this assignment, you will assess the role of NIMS in local disaster preparedness and response, focusing on its application within your municipal or county emergency management agencies. Additionally, you will analyze how NIMS helps mitigate legal liability risks for emergency responders and agencies.

There are two parts to this assignment. Ensure you address all requirements of both sections.

Part 1: NIMS and Local Disaster Preparedness Analysis

• Describe the core components of NIMS and how they support disaster preparedness at the local level.
• Evaluate how your emergency management team implements NIMS frameworks-including ICS, EOCs, resource management, and mutual aid agreements-to ensure coordination and response efficiency.
• Examine challenges and opportunities in integrating NIMS within your jurisdictions emergency preparedness strategy. Use real-world examples to support your analysis.

Part 2: NIMS and Legal Liability Mitigation Analysis

• Identify potential legal liability issues emergency managers face when responding to disasters (e.g., negligence, failure to follow federal guidelines, mutual aid disputes).
• Analyze how NIMS mitigates legal risks by providing standardized response protocols, interoperability requirements, and compliance measures.
• Discuss a case study where NIMS compliance (or lack thereof) influenced legal outcomes for government officials, emergency managers, or responders.

Your case study must be a minimum of three pages in length. The title page and references page do not count toward the length requirement.

You must use at least four peer-reviewed, legal, professional, or academically reliable sources to support your case study.

Your case study must be formatted in APA style, including in-text citations and references for all sources used. No abstract is required.

Consider the following hypothetical situation background. You are the emergency manager for your city or county, which is still recovering from long term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Your community and citizens received substantial aid through federal initiatives such as the Consolidated Appropriations Act and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Federal aid for COVID recovery expired five months ago.

Imagine that you have a natural disaster that has just occurred in your city or county. You may choose any disaster that realistically could impact your area and would rise to the level of warranting a presidential disaster declaration to be requested by your state governor.

There are five distinct parts to this assignment. Ensure you address all requirements for each section.

Part 1: Disaster, Day 1

The disaster has occurred. Local and state resources are overwhelmed, and the governor has requested federal assistance. A decision on a presidential declaration is pending, and your community will likely need to be self-sustaining for 96 hours.

• Briefly describe the disaster and summarize the impacts.
• Using your real, local emergency operations plan, identify what plans, resources, mutual aid agreements, or Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (EMAC) are available to immediately respond to this disaster and initiate recovery.
• Do you believe your community and government can adequately respond to this event, including being self-sustaining for 96 hours? Explain your rationale and support with evidence.

Part 2: Post-Disaster, Day 3

The request for a federal disaster declaration was denied. The governor is appealing. State support is available, but limited, as the disaster has state resources stretched thin (disaster impacted large area of state.)

• Summarize local options for handling a disaster without federal support and with limited state support.
• Do you have any mutual aid agreements with surrounding towns or counties?
• What is the difference between a mutual aid agreement and an Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC)? What is the value of an EMAC?

Part 3: Post Disaster, Day 5

Many local citizens have alleged negligence or discrimination in how the local authorities are handling the disaster response. There are claims of a failure to notify all citizens and properly prepare for the disaster (e.g., evacuation or mitigation efforts such as sandbagging for water disasters) and a lack of access to emergency services for people with disabilities. There are also allegations of emergency service discrimination based on race or economic demographics. Some citizens are threatening to protest or cause a civil disturbance. Your local senior government officials (i.e., mayor, city council) want to request military troop deployment.

• In what ways might emergency response and recovery efforts for this disaster potentially impact civil rights and liberties? Explain the rationale and/or justification.
• How do the requirements of due care and sovereign immunity impact response plans for emergency response personnel (local government officials, emergency managers, and responders) in this event?
• Summarize the applicable laws, statutes, or regulations that provide the authority and define immunity for local or state disaster response.
• Can the State National Guard be deployed to assist? If so, under what authority? If not, are there any circumstances under which it would be possible? Explain.

Part 4: Post Disaster, Day 15

The governors appeal of the denial of a disaster declaration has been successful and the President has issued a major disaster declaration for the event.

• What specific resources and aid are now available to the community and the citizens? How long will the aid be available?
• What laws, regulations, or statutes now apply to the response and recovery efforts? How is this authority different from the local and state authorities? In what ways can the shift in authority create conflicts?
• Are immunity and liability protections changed because of federal intervention? Explain.

Part 5: Post Disaster, Day 180

Looking back on this incident, you have been asked to prepare an evaluation of the effectiveness of the disaster response to determine lessons learned.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of your local emergency plan, the National Response Framework (NRF) and execution of the National Preparedness Goal (NPG) objectives.
• Summarize how the NRF and NPG guidelines were applied in this disaster.
• Identify specific areas of strength in local, state, and federal guidelines.
• Discuss areas where improvements can be made. Offer at least two specific recommendations that if enacted, would better prepare or protect your community in the event of another disaster.

Your project must be a minimum of five pages in length.

• You may include relevant visual data (e.g., charts, resource inventory, checklists).
• No image or graphical representation of data may be larger than a quarter page in length, and no more than one graphic may be used on each page. Graphics or images that exceed these limits must be inserted as an Appendix (or Appendices) following the written portion of the document.
• The title page, any Appendices, and the references page do not count toward the length requirement of five written pages.

You must support your project with at least eight credible sources (e.g., federal guidelines such as FEMA documents or legal precedents, peer-reviewed articles, or other academically reliable sources.)
