Portland International Airport Patient Tracking and Family Reunification Proposal
No full textThis proposal is designed to layout some of the problems that exist that may hinder the Port of Portland’s ability to effectively track patients/victims and reunify family members after a large scale incident at the Portland International Airport (PDX). It also includes recommendations that may facilitate the process of implementing a solution. Generally, the task of patient/victim tracking and family reunification is a challenge due to chaotic scene dynamics following an incident (Jui, 2018). The goal is to create a consistent and functional plan that facilitates efficient, accurate, and expedited patient/victim identification to reunify families after an incident
Living Water Church: Emergency Action Plan
No full textFires, lockdowns, and active shooters are all too common in today’s world. In June 2017, a house in Waterbury Connecticut caught on fire while service was being held in the church adjacent to it (Stewart, 2017). In March 2018, a church in Mississippi was placed on lockdown while law enforcement officials used the grounds as a staging area during an active investigation (WAPT News, 2018). And in November 2017, a gunman opened fire inside First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Twenty-six people lost their lives, and many more were gravely wounded in the deadliest mass shooting in an American place of worship in modern history (KY3, 2017). It has become abundantly clear that churches are not immune to tragedy and violence. In order to protect those who spend their time there, Living Water needs to become resilient against fires, lockdowns, and active shooters. An Emergency Action Plan, “a written document used to facilitate and organize actions during various emergency situations” (United States Department of Labor, n.d.) can be implemented to help Living Water Church become more resilient than they are now, ready and capable to mitigate disasters that might otherwise be catastrophic. Living Water Church’s highest aim is to, “see the hurting find hope and peace, the lost find purpose and direction, the struggling to find encouragement and passion, to see those who don\u27t like church actually enjoying church, and for those not yet following Jesus to find forgiveness and freedom in His name” (Living Water Church, n.d.). Implementing this EAP will allow the church to become an even better and safer source of hope, peace, purpose, direction, encouragement, passion, enjoyment, and freedom in the town of Lewisville and beyond
Experiences of Faculty in the Design and Development of Sustainability Education in Higher Education Curricula: A Case Study of a Southeastern College
No full textSustainability is a global concern; sustainability education is a logical and necessary response to that concern. There is very little research regarding the integration of sustainability concepts in higher education curriculum and delivery of instructional strategies. Sustainability education in higher education is a multifaceted phenomenon studied through a variety of lenses. The lens for this qualitative, descriptive single case study was curriculum design and development from the experiences and perspectives of a faculty involved in the process. The case study college was one of several institutions of higher education that responded to campus interest and expectations regarding sustainability education. This faculty took a unique approach in the development of the sustainability curriculum with a program that combined the study of environmental issues with education for sustainability in order to determine solutions. The faculty recommended an interdisciplinary framework that integrates the humanities with both social sciences and natural sciences to educators needing a paradigm for effective sustainability education programs at their higher education institutions. Data was collected from structured interviews, acquired documents, and researcher observations. Themes became evident as data was coded: vision, interdisciplinary framework, process, challenges, accomplishments, and recommendations. Key findings suggested that interest from faculty was integral to the productive discussion for the development of sustainability education in the curriculum. An interdisciplinary framework and adequate funding enabled the faculty to refine their vision and expand the department
