The History of Hurricanes in The City of Houston Discussion Response

reply to discussion post below:Transitioning from risk to warning’s, two specific incidents resonate deeply with me.  They are Hurricane Rita in 2005 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017, both effecting Houston, Texas.  From a warning’s view, two different decisions were made in the case of these two storms, both with vastly different outcomes. In 2005, the effects of Hurricane Katrina still in the back of everyones mind, decision makers decided on evacuation with the impending risk of Category 5 Rita making landfall in Houston.  This turned into the largest evacuation in US history, n estimated 3.7 million people trying to get out of the city.  This turned the I-45 North into a 100 mile long traffic jam in 100+ degree heat.  After Rita took a turn to the East and glanced away from Houston, the city reeled from the death tole of the evacuation (73) in relation to the storm (<10).  Hurricane Harvey had a much different effect on the City of Houston.  City Mayor Sylvester Turner warned people to stay in their homes and to ‘ride out the storm’.  This decision was scrutinized due to the fact that Governor Greg Abbott was noted saying, “if I was living in the area, I’d head north”, and that “If you have the ability to evacuate and go someplace else for a little while, that would be good.”  Hurricane Harvey brought unprecedented amounts of rainfall to the area, adding to the scrutiny of no evacuation.  How much of a factor during the decision making process was the thought of Hurricane Rita?  I would gather that it was substantial.  There-in lies the ‘risk’ of this warning process, the scrutiny in the aftermath no matter what the decision.  Dozens of people died due to the decision to evacuate during the 2005 storm, or lack there of.  Again, numerous people perished during 2017 due to flooding and weather related hazards of remaining in the area. The mitigation of risk from a governmental level is hard to stay the least.  We must make decisions based on risk potential and the possibility of mitigation from our response.  To do this effectively, we must remain ready at all times and at all levels.

The Priority of Governments Is to Protect Its People Discussion Reply

reply post to a discussion board post:Discussion Question:In a hostage crises, is it ethical for a government to agree to grant a terrorist immunity if he releases the hostages, even though the government has every intention of capturing and prosecuting the terrorist once his hostages are released?XXX’s Post:Crisis of Hostage:           There is a drastic increase in the hostage crisis in past two to three decades with numerous demands of the hijackers. These kinds of demands become very difficult to governments to cope up with the situations that might get them into trouble with the unethical activities. Therefore, it explains situation that terrorist group performs some kind of unethical situation like kidnapping the people, blackmailing public for their demands from the government. Doing this kind of activities pushes the government into confusion whether to give them what they are asking for. Here the hijackers demand a lot of money or ask to fulfill their demands by some means of exchanges for the lives of hostages. It is very important for any country?s government to know about the hostage crisis and also to know to deal with this kind of terrorist groups on releasing the hostages. The government needs to take necessary actions to cease this kind of hijacking or kidnapping from the terrorist groups and should make some policies on hostage crisis to deal with them. The decisions between the government and terrorist groups can be negotiable at some point of time with the discussion.Ethical decisions on Hostage crisis by Government:           As the public is a first priority to any government, it is their duty to take responsibilities of them by protecting common people from any kind of hostage crisis. So in this process, the government should be able to accept any kind of exchanges with the terrorist groups for the lives of the common people (Feste, 2015). Any country?s government should always secure and provide safety to its people as it is the basic ethic of the government that has to take into consideration during the time of hostage crisis by accepting the demands and exchanges that were asked by the terrorist groups.Identifying the Terrorist groups:           It is always negotiable for both the government officials and hostage groups to accept the conditions if they are in the limitations. The difference between absolute terrorist groups and contingent terrorist groups can be distinct with the situations but always it depends on the demands of the terrorist groups cannot be identified with their demands. Basically, there can be a negotiation between the absolute terrorists and the government or contingent terrorists and the government but the revolutionary terrorist are sometimes non-negotiable and can be problematic for the government.           There should be always a backup plan from the government officials to arrest terrorists groups after the releases of the hostages and prosecute them with the punishments they deserve for the things they have done. Always the plan should be coming from the government officials when the hostages are under the control of terrorist groups.
