The following scenario describes conditions in Central City in the days immediately following a major weather event impacting the county’s western edge. Using the four emergency management disciples (preparedness, response, recovery and mitigations), the Incident Command System (ICS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) readings found in textbook and supplementary materials, provide written response to scenario discussion points. Central City is part of Columbia County. The Roaring River is located in Columbia County and runs through downtown Central City. On March 8, after several days of unusually heavy rain and melting mountain snow, the Roaring River overflowed, flooding Central City’s downtown business area and the state’s utility complex. The entire downtown area is underwater and without basic utilities (electric and water). Business in the area has come to a standstill with many small  fearing the worst once night sets in. Also affected by the power outage is a nearby senior assisted living facility with more than 500 elderly residents unable to leave and in need of medical care. A low-income community located along the river’s edge has been isolated from the rest of the city due to the rising floodwaters. Storm and sewer drains are beginning to back up and garbage can be seen floating in the streets.Due to the lack of transportation, many city residents were unable to leave the area when initial flood warnings were posted and are now stranded. There have been numerous requests for medical attention in the area, and several fires can be seen burning in the distance. Because the river twists and turns throughout Columbia County, other cities within the county are experiencing similar flooding conditions. The rain is expected to continue for the next 12-24 hrs, followed by a drying out and turning windy and cold.

3-4 pagesAPA STYLE The U.S. has long been seen by many around the world as a bastion of freedom and liberty. But what does this mean? How can individual choice be promoted and protected when members of society have different views of how things should be organized and how their own interests can be preserved? The interests of an individual in his or her own freedom and liberty to act must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole, and sometimes these interests collide. Societies need to have laws to promote order. The larger, more diverse, and more complex a society is, the more regulated that society must be. At the same time, people have differing opinions about what choices should be allowed on many controversial subjects, about what the government itself should be allowed to do, and about whose interests should prevail.
