The OPPA Associate Administrator provided another EMRAAS Pilot Project Team update to FEMA senior leadership. One of the topics raised for EMRAAS Pilot Project Team consideration was that of resources; specifically, what type and in what amounts. It was acknowledged by FEMA senior leadership that detailed planning at this point would be “big picture” in nature. However, emergency management-related resources from a national perspective are not unlimited and sufficient lead-time will be needed to ensure proper resources are strategically located in advance of a Hurricane Lani landfall. This strategic pre-positioning approach is preferred to provide emergency management support as quickly as possible to those landfall areas most impacted by the Hurricane Lani weather event.
Of specific interested from FEMA senior leadership was the identification and prioritization of those emergency support function (ESF) capabilities thought by the EMRAAS Pilot Project Team to be most in demand after landfall. Since there are 15 different ESF categories, FEMA senior leadership is intensely interested in the EMRAAS Pilot Project Team’s initial thoughts regarding those ESFs considered “most important.” With this information, FEMA senior leadership – and other relevant internal and external stakeholders – can begin the necessary planning actions to proactively start to request, schedule, and pre-position the prioritized ESF capabilities as soon as possible and certainly before actual landfall.
As a result, the OPPA Associate Administrator has tasked the EMRAAS Pilot Project Team for a point paper that provides our Team’s brainstorming thoughts on which ESF sectors the Team views as “most important” when it comes to best ensuring the most effective and efficient disaster preparedness and subsequent response/recovery actions to be taken by the whole emergency management community for the benefit of all affected stakeholders.
Request the EMRAAS Pilot Project Team to briefly discuss the role of “emergency support function” (ESF) sectors as they relate to emergency management. How are they organized and why?
The Emergency Support Function (ESF) sectors are the primary components of emergency management. They are organized in order to ensure that areas of responsibility across different disciplines can be identified and managed effectively in times of crisis. The ESFs provide structure for effective response and recovery activities which can be tailored to meet specific emergency or disaster situations.
The National Response Framework provides a standardized set of 15 ESFs that assist with organizing personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, and other resources necessary for responding to an emergency or disaster. Each ESF is grouped into one of five categories: Transportation; Firefighting; Public Health & Medical Services; Communications; and Search & Rescue (O’Brien et al., 2017). Within each ESF there are various disciplines such as logistics, public information, health services, hazardous materials clean-up etc., which all fall under this unified framework.
In addition to providing structure during an emergency situation the ESFs also help identify roles and responsibilities related to decision-making processes prior to any actual incident occurring. For example the Firefighting ESF outlines what actions need to be taken if there is a fire at a specific location whereas the Public Health & Medical Services sector might detail who should respond in case of an epidemic outbreak (DuPont et al., 2020). By having this level of organization it allows for better planning before any kind of event strikes so that everyone knows what their role will be when needed.
Overall then, Emergency Support Function Sectors play an essential role in emergency management by helping organize personnel and resources while simultaneously outlining roles/responsibilities prior to any event occurring. This helps create clarity around decision-making processes which can potentially save lives in times of crisis.
Reason and Significance The motivation behind the present unmistakable correlational review is distinguishing indicator factors that will help determination panels of nursing projects to decide models of confirmations which most precisely measure the potential for effective finish inside the endorsed curricular time period. Screening and specific confirmations processes for nursing programs are important to choose the top, probably going to succeed understudies to utilize the restricted employees and affirmation spaces. Graduates should be mindful, skilled, and equipped for giving quality medical services; and, they should be instructively ready to pass public ability certificate and licensure tests. Cautious consideration should be paid to the choice of the measures that will be utilized in screening candidates. Albeit many methodologies and mixes of rules have been utilized before, it is more vital than any other time to screen candidates with instruments that best foresee the graduation of understudies, as well as their prosperity on confirmation and licensure tests. Accordingly, this exploration will be valuable for helping nursing program choice councils in deciding affirmation rules that most precisely gauges the potential for effective finish.
Research Questions ‘ Is there a feasible and quantifiable arrangement of indicator factors that can foresee the outcome of understudies in nursing programs? ‘ Is there a quantifiable connection between’s confirmation rules of a nursing projects and graduation rates? ‘ Is there one confirmation rules that actions program achievement more successfully than some other? ‘ According to the understudy is the nursing program generally speaking GPA, A&P, HESI leave test, or mental capacity the most reliable autonomous indicator of NCLEX achievement?
Restrictions and Delimitations Limitations The review will endeavor to eliminate however much predisposition as could reasonably be expected and to limit inclination that objectivity is kept up with. A restriction will be the accessibility of the objective exploration bunch, medical caretakers who have been working in various nursing homes and clinics of Missouri. The objective gathering will be attendants who have effectively finished their nursing programs and have been capable adapt up to hardships which happened during this program. As the members of the examination will be chosen from the accessible populace consequently, research instances of definitions will be given to the attendants to their accommodation. It is expected that all overview members will honestly validate that they are a piece of the objective section as characterized and fall inside the reach wanted as far as their effective fulfillment of nursing program for the examination study. Notwithstanding, some email locations might be problematic, and a few beneficiaries of the email greeting will be reluctant to partake. The proposed study is restricted by the accessible monetary assets to lead the exploration; in this manner, the outcomes will be summed up just to those answering the examination overview.
Delimitation Nurses to be studied are available because of the scientist’s broad organization of contacts in Missouri. The members have email accounts, which will give admittance to support in the poll. One more delimiting factor is the accessibility of the designated research gathering to partake in a web-based study. Research in the scholarly world is being moved from paper and pencil to online overviews. Welcoming populace portions to visit a site for the motivations behind finishing a poll is considerably more open and helpful for members, in this way giving the scientist more prominent admittance to members and a more significant level of support achievement. Considering that the populace to be reviewed for this examination has been the focal point of many investigations, the information gathered will give new bits of knowledge to decide the indicators of understudy outcome in nursing programs.
eview of Literature Nursing Curricula in the United States Research on nursing educational plans in the United states had confirmed that the country’s nursing deficiency was serious that momentum enlisted medical caretakers couldn’t be viewed as a solid labor force asset later on, and that nursing curricular substance should have been addressed to meet medical care necessities by Year 2020. Accessible information proposed that simply 25% to half of the attendants who moved on from nursing schools would go on in their vocations following five years in the calling. Notwithstanding the anticipated lack of around 800,000 medical caretakers, or 29%, by 2020, a Health Affairs report in 2007 anticipated the deficiency of attendants to be 340,000 by 2020. The modified report actually showed that
