    Which of the following accurately described the state of American preparedness before the War of 1812?

    Posted by admin on December 6th, 2011 and filed under preparedness | 1 Comment »

    A) Due to extended difficulties with other nations, the American military was organized and ready to fight.
    B) American military strength was greatly increased by careful planning and funding after the Revolutionary War.
    C) The American army seized the day and fought brilliantly, while the navy struggled.
    D) Little had been done to equip or improve the military since the Revolutionary War.
    E) Americans flocked to join the military service, and all states cooperated in the effort.

    D. People in the US were going about their business. No one was thinking about war.

    A: This describes the British who were in a death struggle with Napoleon, the Adolf Hitler of his time.

    B: Never happened

    C: The army didn’t do a whole lot, except for winning the Battle of Orleans, which unfortunately came AFTER the war had already ended. Remember in those days news travelled as fast as a horse could trot.

    E: Americans had little to no enthusiasm for the war. Some parts of northern New England even though about splitting from the US because they had close business, social and family ties to the British colonies. Bottom line: Nobody really cared one way or the other. As for the US Navy, without a doubt is marked the formation of the USN and gave it a role, purpose and traditions.

    American participation in the War of 1812 was minimal. And it was not a Big Deal to the British either; their focus was on defeating Napoleon and this was a distraction cooked up by France and a few US politicians who thought they could benefit from running a war.

    The defeat of the US meant that the British colonies, e.g. Upper Canada (Ontario), Lower Canada (Quebec), Nova Scotia, inter alia, did not become American. This left the door open to the formation of Canada in 1867. Though many Canadians like to say we won the War of 1812, the strict truth is that the Americans lost, the British won but didn’t care and until 1867 there was no Canada.

    Is Vic Toews the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness?

    Posted by admin on November 29th, 2011 and filed under preparedness | No Comments »

    Im a bit confused as I have found some articles that say Vic Toews is the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, and others saying Shirly Bond is. Is there both a provincial and federal Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness? If so is the federal have power over the provincial? Any clarification would be appreciated thanks!

    Good title for research paper about natural disaster preparedness?

    Posted by admin on November 21st, 2011 and filed under preparedness | 1 Comment »

    I am writing a research paper over natural disaster preparedness, or how people are generally not very prepared at all for a natural disaster. Such as not being able to use generators properly or even how to be safe with candles. I cannot think of a title for my essay at all though, if anyone has a creative title it would help me a lot thanks!

    Where Americans proud of their lack of preparedness during the attack on Pearl Harbor?

    Posted by admin on November 8th, 2011 and filed under preparedness | 10 Comments »

    I have to write a paper for History… no idea how to answer this question.

    So, if you go to church on a Sunday, and someone blows that church up while you were in it… it means you should either be proud that you survived it or not proud because you were not prepared?

    We were not at war at that time. It was a Sunday morning when most of the fleet was off duty. Sucks that it happened and it sucked that we had to show the world and Japan of what we could do… so that would like asking a Japanese survivor of the one of the two atom bomb drops if he was proud.

    How to help the community with disaster preparedness?

    Posted by admin on October 21st, 2011 and filed under preparedness | 1 Comment »

    How can people help?

    There are many things that an individual can do, but you must understand that in those times, the professionals need the cooperation of people, and the space to perform their duties. Taking a course in CPR, First Aid, and AE would be a benefit. Learn where the resources are for your community: safety centers, hospitals & clinics, etc. The most important resource in an emergency situation is Communication. Supplies are always necessary: stock piles of clean water, blankets, First Aid supplies, easy-to-prepare foods, and fuel. The one thing an emergency does NOT need is untrained people running around, causing panic, interfering and getting in the way. Advance preparation is Crucial, but there are things that every citizen can do. When you get an opportunity, stop in at the local Fire station or Police station and ask them how YOU can best help in the event of a disaster. They have lists of organizations that they depend on for assistance, training programs available, and community leaders with whom you can interface. Thank you for caring.

    What needs improvement in disaster preparedness for the elderly?

    Posted by admin on October 5th, 2011 and filed under preparedness | 2 Comments »

    I was wondering what nursing homes or senior centers did in order to prepare hurricanes or earthquakes. What are the procedures and what among them needs improvement to make things more safe for the elderly and easier for the people who work in those places.

    For nursing homes certified through CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), they are required to have disaster/emergency plans in place….and policies and procedures are reviewed when the nursing home are inspected annually by nursing home surveyors. Nursing home surveyors also interview staff to determine whether staff are aware of the plan.

    What I look for in review of a plan, is that it makes sense and is feasible. For example, if a nursing home has an old agreement with a water company, I question whether it is updated. The most important thing with disaster plans is that they have to be a "living" document. A great thing to do in disaster planning is to include your local law enforcement; local utility company; local hospitals; and other nursing homes. For example, if the nursing home does not have a generator (which is not required if there are no residents on life support type equipment), then the nursing home should be making contact beforehand with facilities that do have generators, to see if in times of emergency (if needed), they could send some of their residents to the other facility. Long term power outages during winter, for example, need to be addressed. Nursing homes should contact their local law enforcement to get a contact name or the name of a couple of staff who can provide priority assistance during a crisis. Some nursing homes have an agreement with their local utility company as a priority organization, so if power is down, the nursing home will be at the top for priority to get their power back up and running. Another important part of policy for disasters is there needs to be some type of medication back-up plan…..if the power goes out, and the facility does not have a generator to power medication refrigerators…..what about your insulin, for example. Also, if residents would need to go out to other places, like shelters…..how should nursing staff handle their medications and medical records? All of these are important in having a "better" outcome, then if a facility is not prepared at all. Nursing homes should also have a listing of staff and their radius from the facility. Are there staff who can walk to work, for example? The staff person who lives 40 miles away, if something occurs won’t be able to get to the facility. So staffing plans are also important. Some facilities have plans in place where they may allow staff (i.e. single parents) to bring in their children if there is a crisis so the staff can care for the residents and know their child(ren) are safe. The plan should also include how they will notify family of the residents during a time of disaster. For example, the Red Cross is a good resource for that. The nursing home should definitely network with their local disaster organizations, like the Red Cross as well.

    What I see needs to be improved is that people need to use these plans as a living document, and not just to meet federal and state regulatory requirements. Facilities need to practice with staff, and to really view these policies and procedures as not just more paperwork, but to protect the health and welfare of residents as well as staff.

    My state is pretty good in that when there have been some major power outages due to weather issues, the state has called every licensed nursing home, residential care facility/assisted living facility, to ensure they are actively okay…..and able to function. In cases however, where the state may be down in power, that won’t always be the case. So nursing homes should not be solely relying on another agency to come and help them. The nursing home needs to be proactive in seeking and maintaining relationships with all community resources (as mentioned above), to ensure during a disaster………….the lives of residents and staff are not at risk.

    Nursing homes, for example, cannot just "dump" residents off at a local shelter………..they must have staff there to assist them (medications, care needs, etc).

    I have volunteered in a senior center, and I don’t recall the senior center having policies and procedures in place for an emergency. That is definitely a good idea though!

    LDS: What do you think about putting firearms in your storage as part of emergency preparedness?

    Posted by admin on August 4th, 2011 and filed under preparedness | 6 Comments »

    I helped my ward compile a list of needful things for storage; and a few people were upset about keeping weapons. Small bore arms are indispensible where I live, a very rural area, lots of carnivores in the bush. I put guns on the list not about insurrection at all; but as a tool like a rototiller or a cookstove. What do you think?

    Storage is an individual decision - just as how we keep the Word of Wisdom is up to individual discression. There are other options for protection [dogs, for example].

    You cannot please all the people all the time - if you presented a balanced approach to preparedness - I would counsel you to not worry about it and let it go. But then, I can be thick skinned and don’t care about PC types.
