Our project is to make a blueprint for Arkansas Storm Shelter or Home advisor to use to make a storm shelter. At school getting under desks isn't safe enough but with the storm shelter we will be safer. All of the students, teachers, and parents will benefit from this because the students and teachers will be safer and the parents won't have an injured or killed child. My team in Logan Halfacre and Matthew Heartsel. Our storm shelter will be done by the end of the year. We have used sketchUp to make the blueprint. We will get our grant from grant gopher. After our research towards Arkansas Storm Shelter and Home advisor that we have done, the have low costs and have done good jobs. We will need to get permission from the school board to build
it. First we will get in touch with Arkansas Storm Shelter and Home advisor and see who can build it cheaper. Then we will make sure everything is ready with the school board. Also we will see if we need to rent the bulldozer and other things or if they will get it. Finally we will apply for the grant and see if we can get the money.
I would inform them so that they could assist me and my mission and also so that they could provide me with possible solutions. I would also call the bank and set up an account just for scholarship awards. I would send my team to contact Re/max to scout for buildings with farmland nearby so that we could start working on the first neighborhood center before building the rest of them. Re/Max has been around for over 40 years and is “is a leader in the commercial and investment arenas”. Although it would cost more, I would get it furnished by local small independent businesses. The centers would focus on making the people independent and teaching core values and ethics to make them a more productive part of society. They could grow and tend to the land and feed themselves and the neighborhood. I would get homedepot to help with the gardening supplies, fruit and vegetable seeds, and sheds for the supplies. I would also reach out to Big Brothers and Big Sisters so that neighborhood kids could have good role models to look up to. It is an organization that “helps children realize their potential and build their futures….nurture children and strengthen communities.” I would have to recruit teachers to help at the facility as well. Whether it be art, music, dance, home
My final project concerns the homeless population in Baltimore City. Specifically, I am interested in homeless individuals who have a substance abuse disorder. There are several stakeholders involved in the homelessness issue. The stakeholders are as follows: Shelters, city police departments, outreach volunteers, Baltimore housing program, family members of the homeless, Baltimore’s homeless network and organizations, counselors,
In my opinion, the least enjoyable of the three stories was A Sense of Shelter by John Updike. The overly dramatic imagery and dragging prose of Updike’s writing style is something I find to be very bothersome. Personally, I am not a fan of the plot, message, or really anything about the story; owing to the fact that, boring, awkward, and dramatic high-school stories are not that entertaining to me. Conversely, I do believe it has its place as a story that should be read and thought about. A Sense of Shelter is a realistic fiction short-story, which is set in a mid-1900s school, and tells the tale of an awkward teen called William Young. I do not believe the time period had much of an effect on how everything in the story played out; however,
My topic is going to be about the unification and recovery of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It has been nearly ten years since the disaster of Hurricane Katrina. Many promises have been made when it comes to the rebuilding of the city. According to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, as with most disasters, after Hurricane Katrina politicians and boosters were promising the city would be rebuilt and it would be bigger and better than before (Kates). Though often, after a disaster, cities are given empty promises and it seems that despite a slow process the people of New Orleans are determined to create for themselves a new and better home. The city of New Orleans was left in ruin and disaster
In order to implement this project we will need to schedule a meeting with Housing and Urban Development. We will also need to create a plan of action surrounding the proposed activities. We could create action teams in order to assign person’s tasks. We will need to formulate a goal plan with obtainable goals. We will also have to find an area of development and create a projected budget. It would be beneficial to contact agencies for assistance. Create a timeline for tasks to be developed. Lastly, we can conduct seminars on the importance of affordable housing. An accurate cost analysis is the first step in an effort to finance and implement this proposed project. By building a housing complex for single mothers with children who have low-income, this will allow them to have access to affordable housing. To help determine the effectiveness of the program and to ensure that the projected goals are reached Shaw University social work students will collectively conduct tenant satisfaction surveys and also interview tenants prior to receiving assistance form the housing program. After tenants have received assistance data will then be collected using the same methods as before. Tenants will be expected to take a survey on what they expect from the housing program.
There have been many natural disasters all around the world that devastate the place that they hit. In the Atlantic coast, Hurricane sandy was a very powerful cyclone that hit many locations along the Atlantic such as Jamaica, Haiti, Bahamas, Canada and east coast of the United States. Hurricane Sandy was the second-worst damaging storm and the deadliest to hit the United States after Hurricane Katrina. It “began as a tropical wave in the Caribbean on October 19” (Sharp, T. (2012, November 27) later developing into a “tropical depression and a tropical storm in just six hours” (Sharp, T. (2012, November 27). Initially, Sandy started as a storm but later was upgraded to a hurricane when its “maximum sustained winds reached 74 mph (119kph) on October 24, 2012(Sharp, T. (2012,
The soldiers must commit themselves to the war without knowing when their commander’s mind will change. Catch-22 as a symbol throughout the book relates to the theme as stated by Cliff Notes, “The code under which the airmen of the 256th Squadron exist is embodied in the theme of Catch-22. As a general rule covering most behavior, it establishes that the men who fight the war are going to have to do what those in authority tell them; and there is no way out of that” (2). Catch-22 is a symbol for military authority.
Before applying this strategy, the teacher have to concern that assistance could be given in ensuring that resources to support the project are available. Also, the teacher can facilitate the process by providing explicit directions so that the students will not get some confusion during the
The place for the project is the existing basement of the service provider. The anticipated time for the beginning of the project is June 2016 and expected completion December 2016. The Executive Director’s authorization is required for starting the project. It is projected that upon project completion, the number of meals served to homeless individuals and needy families by the program will increase from 90,000 to 150,000 within a year of project completion, and the service provider will monitor the progress on a monthly basis. The resources needed for the project will come from the grant and other fundraising activities detailed in the budget.
Organization depends on the reliable and continuous operations throughout disasters, it is key effective for business to get out of disaster with the minimum damage, and able to back to their normal operations quickly. Year after year the growth of the technology make it part of every business and aspect of life, not just business.
Roofing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States today. According to listverse.com, roofing places eighth among the top ten most fatal occupations. There are positive effects of working on roofs, and, unfortunately many ill effects related to this occupation. Does the good that comes from roofing outweigh the bad?
The worst thing that could happen to you is to be called by numbers not by your name. For years, people were living in shelters and treated badly by governments. It would affect those people negatively. However, human rights, organizations, and the governments do not pay attention to the way they live, and their essential needs. Degeneration of education standards, deterioration of health care, and disintegration of financial status could be the main effects on those people.
I am a firm believer that everyone has a responsibility to give back to their community. This is would be my way of giving back and doing my part while allowing others to do so as well. This project would collaborate to provide housing, food, clothing and train clients for job placements. I have envisioned buying an old hotel or a huge house that can be renovated into a dormitory type living facility. By providing living quarters this would keep the clients off the
Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other naturally occurring disaster will come in surprise and will cause damage to infrastructure and loss of life. Even though many natural disasters are unpredictable, “it is possible to assess the circumstances that increase vulnerability to a natural disaster ahead of time and take steps to prevent complications” (Harkness and DeMarcus, 2016, p. 407). Coordination with community leaders and providers is essential to effective preparation and successful disaster response. In instances of catastrophic events, leaders are needed to direct people and ensure that everyone is safe and all areas are attended. Good coordination with community leader and providers will lead to better preparedness and easy
A tropical cyclone is a warm-core, low-pressure system producing high winds that spiral counter-clockwise (in the northern hemisphere) and inward, with the highest winds near the center of circulation. The large counter-clockwise and inward flow is characteristic of the nearly symmetric structure of tropical cyclones as they are comprised of rain bands spiraling toward the center. These warm-core storms typically form over the tropical and subtropical oceans and extract their energy from the heat content of the oceans.
