Hazard Mitigation and Preparedness

Posted on | by

 

 

Q1: In your opinion, based on what you have learned in Modules 4-6, what level of government is the most appropriate level to deal with the impacts of hazards and climate change? Why? Try to come up with a good example to complement your explanation.

Q2: Using the Internet or other resources, find a hazard zoning map of the area where you grew up. Describe the level of risk in comparison with other places in that region and assess the risk of experiencing a disaster event. Determine whether the map is useful to make decisions at the local level (consider the scale of the map) and comment on the strenghts and weaknesses of the zonification.

Q3: Applying what you have learned in Modules 4-6 (review the modules!), how do you evaluate the response to COVID-19 from the different administrative levels and the coordination among them? What are some of the successes and the failures in the response? What would you have done differently in this multilevel coordination? Focus on the question (Leave aside political opinions).

Conduct research on approaches to risk management processes, policies, and concerns in your current or anticipated professional arena to find an example of a risk management plan. Look for a plan with sufficient content to be able to complete this assignment successfully. In a 1,000‐1,250-word paper, provide an analysis of the risk management plan that includes the following:

Summary of the type of risk management plan you selected (new employee, specific audience, community‐focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example. Describe the health care organization to which the plan applies and the role risk management plays in that setting.
Description of the standard administrative steps and processes in a typical health care organization’s risk management program compared to the administrative steps and processes you identify in your selected example plan. (Note: For standard risk management policies and procedures, look up the MIPPA-approved accrediting body that regulates the risk management standards in your chosen health care sector, and consider federal, state, and local statutes as well.)
Analysis of the key agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe health care in your area of concentration and an evaluation of the roles each one plays in the risk management oversight process.
Evaluation of your selected risk management plan’s compliance with the standards of its corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to privacy, health care worker safety, and patient safety.
