Create a list of items that you feel are important to a preperation/evacuation plan based on your simulation you completed yesterday. Once you have your list of items prioritize them in order of most important to least important.
A city needs to have: 1. Shelter - enough for the entire population and a few more 2. Food and Water - Enough for the entire population and for how long the disaster might happen 3. Medical help - first aid kits, nurses and doctors 4. A plan to get people out of the area if needed.
4. Hospital 2. Early warning sirens 1. Training for leaving 3. Route of evacuation 5. Defences against the disasters that could happen 6. Housing for evacuees 7. Medical help or EMTs
Heres a list of materials/items that may be needed in case of an evacuation during a wildfire in order from most important to least important. Water towers Protected buildings Fire resistant items (trees, buildings, etc.) Fire extinguishers A good evacuatioplan and safe houses Accesible firemen/policemen Extra water supplies
An evacuation plan A route of evacuation Evacuation signs Radio system helping evacuation Places designated for shelter First AID kits Food/water supply specifically for the shelter Blankest/pillows supply specifically for the shelter
-Sturdy housing on high ground -First responders (police, red cross, etc.) -Supplies for people who cannot evacuate -Training for evacuation -Defense against the disaster -Emergency centers -Alternate housing
A plan, public knowledge that there will be a disaster in the future (usually), public understanding of your plan, a hospital, a safe place for the population of the disaster area to stay, an alarm system, signs and advertisement on where to go and what to do in the event of a disaster, and ways to limit or stop the destruction. Other than that, you need the people to abide by and follow all of these things.
Most Important to Least Important -good evacuation tactics -special material on the buildings and structures for example: metal roofs with sprinklers for fires, flood proof windows for hurricanes, floods, and tsunamis, and stronger better built buildings for earthquakes -a large shelter,building, or stadium for people to go to -enough food and water supplies -sanitized areas -hospitals
1. Evacuation routes and alternate evacuation routes 2. Sprinkelr systems in and on buildings 3. Emergency rendezvous points 4. More fire prone buildings. 5. Less dry trees near populated areas such as suburbs. 6. Meeting areas after a wildfire should not be near anything thal will catch fire easily. 7. Different areas for injured and non-injured people. 8. Relocations centers for people who have lost their homes.
Important items and plans for an evacuation plan from a disaster like a wildfire are:
Removal of excess trees- trees are the easiest way to spread a wildfire and removing trees in areas where there are too many can help diminish the fire.
Firefighters in large amounts- fighting off a fire like a wildfire would take more than a few firefighters- having large amounts can quickly shrink it.
Evacuation routes for residents- if the fire spreads to the city, citizens need to find a safe route out of the city to prevent injuries and casualties.
Stable structures Cross beam structures in buildings Seismograph Hospitals (with a stable structure) Evacuation plans Local Warning Systems For all of the citizens: Emergency food Emergency lighting First Aid Kits
1. Select Several Places to go in case of a disaster (hotels, out of town friends, etc.) 2. At least two evacuation routes for each room 3. Battery powered radio 4. Water 5. Medicines 6. Flashlights 7. First Aid Kit 8. An already packed emergency bag of clothes and other personal items 9. Important Documents (pictures, files, birth certificates, etc.)
In the simulation gem yesterday, i found that there are many things you need to do when planning an evacuation plan, like...
1. Make sure everything is in a safe place where there is little or no risk of damage.
2. Make sure you have proper defenses to prevent damage.
3. Make sure that, in case things do get ruined, like houses, hotels, or apartments, there are other places for people to stay, and make sure they're stable.
4. Have a plan that injures and/or kills as few people as possible by taking less disaster-prone streets, roads, or other places.
5. Make sure you have food in case it is inaccessible after a disaster.
-defenses such as trees, wetlands, drainage ditches, and levees on the coast of the land and surrounding buildings located near the body of water -cover all wells and water sources that may be vulnerable to the water -Move or rebuild all buildings that are near the water to higher ground so as to avoid flooded buildings -evacuate members of the community to higher ground and if a severe flood occurs such as one from a tropical storm, evacuate them to another country of city because tornadoes and tsunamis can spark from the flood -Farm land should be relocated to higher ground as well because they will be destroyed by the water -flash flooding happens very quickly so an evacuation plan is very important for all citizens to know. -evacuation plan: train that can carry all citizens and move them to higher ground and train and tracks need to be coated in a waterproof paint so they are not immediately ruined should a flash flood occur
1) Shelter for everyone and a couple more. 2) Food and water. 3) A hospital in the city for the people that get hurt. 4)First aid kit in every house 5)Radio system to contact for help 6) Beds, blankets, and pillow.
Alternative housing Evacuation routes Defense systems Hospitals Evacuation training Items like stilts, waterproof sealant, and other items to make the houses safer in case the natural disaster occurs Medicines and vaccines for diseases caused by the disaster Meeting place for residents of the city Large food and water supply Back up route for evacuation
1. Evacuation routes 2. Radio 3. Drills (practice for the disaster) 4. Safehouses 5. Shelter 6. Supplies 7. Disaster kit 8. Proper building structures that better suit the disaster (elevation for floods, stronger windows for hurricanes, etc.) 9. Insurance 10. Awareness
-focus any construction on the highest ground available. It may be necessary to actually demolish buildings and houses on lower ground and create buildings on higher ground to replace them. -provide proper protection for wells in the area, so that water isn't contaminated. -basins around the river and water level buildings can help water from reaching houses and power facilities, but would need to be done in excess to replace the steps listed above.
Evacuation plans Many shelters outside of disaster zone Evacuation alarms Forecasting for diasters Rersource list Help hotlines, providers Pre-determined routes for evacuation Necessity list Home protection Transportation out of disaster zone Temporary housing Hospitals and schools out of disaster zone Food, water, and medicine outside of disaster zone Large shelters
Items from most important to least important: 1. Defense against the natural disasters 1. (also most important) have houses prepared from natural disasters 2. Plan for food, water, and other essentials of live 3. Plan for alternate housing 4. Warnings-on tv, radio, and other ways to communicate with the citizens 5. Supplying each family with their own personal FirstAid Kit 6. a hospital and medical assistance (for preparation) 7. To have all heavy items anchored-like boats and docks
There are a variety of items that are important to an evacuation because there are a variety of disasters. The evacuation plan for a wildfire has items ranging from fire retardant to bottled water. A full list is below.
1. Evacuation Routes: These are the most important items in an evacuation plan. A way to evacuate.
2. First Aid: Although there is a need for suppressing the raging fire, the safety and health of those being evacuated is the #2 priority.
3. Fire Retardants: The next step is usually stepping immediately into work on the fire.
4. Bottled water: This should be provided to surrounding residential areas for a safe water supply. This is in defense of ash entering residential water supplies as well as for shelters.
5. Shelter: Once everyone is evacuated there must be shelters put in place if not already in place.
6. Fire-Fighters/ Fire Officials: The final item is man-power to fight the fire to contain and extinguish the fire.
Itemzz: 1. Safe Haven 2. Plumbing 3. First Aid 4. Routes 5. Clean Water 6. Portable Gasoline Tanks 7. Natural and Man made Defenses 8. Pre-Packaged Easy to Cook food 9. Clear Roads and Highways 10. A plan B
For a hurricane 1.national guard 2.houses have better structure 3.water barriers around docks to protect boats 4.houses built for extreme winds 5.basements 6.community shelters
1. Education- if the people don't know what to do, there's no point in having everything ready 2. Early detection- If people aren't in the area, the disaster can't kill anyone 3. Shelter- enough for everyone 4. Bottled Water- not water pipes that could get broken 5. Food- enough to last everyone for a lot longer than needed and non-perishable 6. Escape Routes- as many as possible 7. Medical Supplies- in a disaster, someone will get hurt 8. Alarms- faster than people 9. Officials- to keep control
2. Education on the evacuation 1. An evacuation plan 5. Traffic routes 4. Police and emts 6. Education on plywood and other safety changes 3. a strong building code 7. FEMA educated plan on taking belongings.
Individuals: Know your location (i.e. for tsunami, know your street sea floor level) Evacuation transportation (walking, car, etc) What to do if separated Evacuation and natural disaster knowledge Supplies (clothes, water, food, etc) Meeting place and/or place to pick up kid if need be
City: Education of natural disaster and steps for evacuation Barriers (trees, sea walls, sand bars, etc.) Well planned city lay-out Reinforced houses and buildings Evacuation plan Evacuation Simulations Warning system Refuge Zone Hospital Government help
A city needing to evacuate should have: 1. Enough shelter for the population 2. A center for gathering and emergency communication 3. Knowledge of the disaster 4. Hospital nearby to treat injuries 5. Warning system for better evacuation notice 6. Defenses according to the disaster
1. Shelter from the disaster (whether it be your basement or a local school. 2. Hospital (in case of injuries or critical conditions) 3. Several Evacuation Routes (Traffic is the last thing someone wants when running from a disaster) 4. Help (Disaster relief, firefighter, policemen, and paramedics) 5. Storage (No one wants to see their precious belongings destroyed by the storm) 6. A good supply of food and water (This is either for during the disaster or after the disaster. After the disaster roads may be blocked and supermarkets may be destroyed. 7. Communication (Cell phone, walkie talkie) 8. Radio or Small Television (For ways to hear if the disaster is over or not) 9. Alternative homes/hotels (In case homes are destroyed)
1. supply of clean water- to prevent dehydration 2. supply of food- to prevent starvation 3. shelter- protect from the elements (basements, cellars) 4. evacuation plans and routes- to be prepared to make evacuations go smoother 5. hospitals and first aid- to treat the injured and to heal the ill before the condition is spread 6. adequate building stability- so homes, schools, hospitals and churches will survive the disaster 7. radio-to know what is going on 8. defenses- such as breakwaters, and trees 9. temporary housing- in case of homes being destroyed 10. warning signal to the public- so they can do the immediate preparation work
Preparation is extremely important in case of a tsunami, because there is often very little warning before the disaster.The most important ingredients in a safety plan are:
A clear evacuation system consisting of various warning devices like radio broadcasts and sirens
An elevated shelter area that will be safe from tidal waves.
A nearby seismic activity sensor.
Defenses to slow the oncoming water, such as sand dunes, mangroves, and water breakers.
A hospital near enough to the shelter area so it won't be affected by the tsunami.
An organized group ready to respond after the disaster.
1. Education/Pre-planning 2. At least two "safe houses" where people can go if their homes are destroyed 3. Hospital 4. PLENTY of extra housing 5. Appropriate plumbing (to redirect sewage so it won't seep into homes and water sources) 6. Covers for any wells 7.Proper sealants and other protections for housing and other important buildings (such as hotels, churches, work places...)
Items that are needed are: 1: Education- If a disaster occurs, people will be able to react calmly and get to safety quickly.
2: Shelter- Covering from the disaster is critical for survival.
3-: Food and Water- Disaster such as a hurricane can cause damage that lasts for days before it will ever settle down. People need items that cause them to stay alive for a long period of time.
4: An evacuation route- Just in case leaving the city is necessary
5: First Aid/Hospital- Injuries are an immediate danger to death. Some type of first aid kit is needed, or go towards a hospital that is near by.
6: A form of communication- Having some way to contact the outside world may save a persons life in the event of a natural disaster. Help can come to you. A radio would be good to bring as well for updates on the condition of the disaster.
Money Evacuation Warning Systems Evacuation Training Places for People to Go & Evacuation Routes Emergency Kits Helping Hands(people who help with a natural disaster) Efficient House Protection(for that type of disaster)
Many items and concepts are need for safe evacuation and prevention. For a tsunami here are some ideas. An undersea seismograph is a good idea because it would give an early warning. Routes to higher ground are most important, as that saves many lives. Sandbags can be used as sealants on houses. They absorb a lot of water and hold it well. Next, shelter, water and food are essential to the people who are now stranded or homeless. After that, do a damage assessment and start to rebuild. If there are dead, bury them so no one will be infected.
1) Education about any probable disaster that could occur in that area. 2) Preplanned evacuation routes. 3) Many methods of defense against disaster. 4) Appropriate shelter for those who left their house because of the disaster (must be sanitary). 5) Hospitals for those who need it. 6) Clean food and water for them. 7) A method of receiving news, such as a radio. 8) A method of communication with family members, such as a phone or computer.
A natural disaster prone city or town needs to have: 1: An alternate source of water besides the main water line, 2: High ground for floods, tsunamis, and wildfires, 3: Evacuation protocol and training seminars, 4: Secondary shelters like bunkers, cellars, or even your roof. 5: A hospital or a medical station, able to administer first aid to those who need it. 6: Emergency services for a fast response time to the disaster, 7: An early warning system, for fast evacuation or preparation. 8:Emergency supplies stored in ultra secure locations that have easy access in the case of isolation from a main food supply source. 9: An emergency call station manned with radios, long distance speakers, sirens, and a local area broadcasting system. 10: A backup plan for if anything goes wrong, they would be prepared. 11: Building reinforcement and safety areas. 12: A fallback point for stragglers, homeless, or otherwise impaired. 13: Home defense systems for various natural disasters, like metal roofs and shutters, reinforced foundations, and fire resistant paint or outer coating, and the removal of potential hazards from your local area. 14: The removal of potential hazards from the town or city, or disaster resistant vulnerable points. 15: various pre-designated Evac. areas, for fast extraction from the area, and deposition to a safe area, far away from the danger zone, either by land, air or sea.
When experiencing or preparing for a natural disaster, a city will need to have A sheltered place for people to take refuge at. This place needs to be safe from the disaster and large enough to be comfortable for many people to inhabit. Needs places to sleep, eat, and needs a bathroom. Food and water stored away so nobody will go hungry. Easily accessible first aid. Officials to keep everybody calm, and to direct them to the shelter or safe place. Also needed in the case of an evacuation of the shelter and to keep order. Warnings on T.V and radio. Before hand, everybody should know what to do during the disaster to minimize deaths and injuried. (such as having "fire drills" to make sure everybody knows the where to go and what to do.) Note: Money put aside for all of this is VERY helpful.
I feel that for a tsunami, a city needs... 1. A hospital far from the coast or on high ground, to keep it from being destroyed. 2. A really good evacuation plan, that will be practiced every once in a while, so people would know what to do. This plan would include radio and tv warnings, signs, and an alarm. 3. A shelter far from the coast, much like a stadium or something huge and built well, so the water won't destroy it. Although unlike Katrina, there would be plenty of food and water, bathrooms, and everything needed to survive. 4. A good line of defense like water breakers, sand dunes, trees, and mangroves. 5. Have the buildings be strengthened by supports to cut down on expenses. 6. Insurance to also cut down on the amount of money lost. With these defenses and plans, the city should make it through the tsunami ok.
Tsunami Preparation Equipment: 1) Educated residents and staff in the area 2) A hospital a good amount away from the shoreline (on higher ground if possible 3) Hotels or schools for residents/tourists (also on higher ground and preferably close to the hospital) 4) Evacuation sirens, and signs 5) Individual emergency kits (including food, water, extra clothes, flashlights, batteries, etc.) 6) Building reinforcements on major public structures 7) Traffic directors to distribute the traffic evenly

Many items and concepts are need for safe evacuation and prevention. For a tsunami here are some ideas. An undersea seismograph is a good idea because it would give an early warning. Routes to higher ground are most important, as that saves many lives. Sandbags can be used as sealants on houses. They absorb a lot of water and hold it well. Next, shelter, water and food are essential to the people who are now stranded or homeless. After that, do a damage assessment and start to rebuild. If there are dead, bury them so no one will be infected.
ReplyDeleteThese were easy to think of, but IMPOSSIBLE to prioritize. Everything is of the same importance.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my disaster was a wildfire. I think that every city needs:
1. Well-planned evacuation routes so that everyone can escape safely.
2. A disaster-proof shelter for everyone to stay until the disaster is resolved.
3. Radio and television broadcasts, as well as early warning sirens, to warn people of the upcoming disaster and help them evacuate early.
4. Paramedics and first aid for people who couldn't or didn't evacuate and were harmed by the disaster.
5. A source of water, like a water tower, that is protected from the fire.
6. Firefighters to put out the fire as quickly as possible.
7. Firebreaks so the fire destroys as little as possible.
8. People to rebuild/fix houses that were destroyed by fires.
Quite honestly, I'd rank these all at #1, actually.
1) Education about any probable disaster that could occur in that area.
ReplyDelete2) Preplanned evacuation routes.
3) Many methods of defense against disaster.
4) Appropriate shelter for those who left their house because of the disaster (must be sanitary).
5) Hospitals for those who need it.
6) Clean food and water for them.
7) A method of receiving news, such as a radio.
8) A method of communication with family members, such as a phone or computer.
A natural disaster prone city or town needs to have:
ReplyDelete1: An alternate source of water besides the main water line,
2: High ground for floods, tsunamis, and wildfires,
3: Evacuation protocol and training seminars,
4: Secondary shelters like bunkers, cellars, or even your roof.
5: A hospital or a medical station, able to administer first aid to those who need it.
6: Emergency services for a fast response time to the disaster,
7: An early warning system, for fast evacuation or preparation.
8:Emergency supplies stored in ultra secure locations that have easy access in the case of isolation from a main food supply source.
9: An emergency call station manned with radios, long distance speakers, sirens, and a local area broadcasting system.
10: A backup plan for if anything goes wrong, they would be prepared.
11: Building reinforcement and safety areas.
12: A fallback point for stragglers, homeless, or otherwise impaired.
13: Home defense systems for various natural disasters, like metal roofs and shutters, reinforced foundations, and fire resistant paint or outer coating, and the removal of potential hazards from your local area.
14: The removal of potential hazards from the town or city, or disaster resistant vulnerable points.
15: various pre-designated Evac. areas, for fast extraction from the area, and deposition to a safe area, far away from the danger zone, either by land, air or sea.
When experiencing or preparing for a natural disaster, a city will need to have
ReplyDeleteA sheltered place for people to take refuge at. This place needs to be safe from the disaster and large enough to be comfortable for many people to inhabit. Needs places to sleep, eat, and needs a bathroom.
Food and water stored away so nobody will go hungry.
Easily accessible first aid.
Officials to keep everybody calm, and to direct them to the shelter or safe place. Also needed in the case of an evacuation of the shelter and to keep order.
Warnings on T.V and radio.
Before hand, everybody should know what to do during the disaster to minimize deaths and injuried. (such as having "fire drills" to make sure everybody knows the where to go and what to do.)
Note: Money put aside for all of this is VERY helpful.
I feel that for a tsunami, a city needs...
ReplyDelete1. A hospital far from the coast or on high ground, to keep it from being destroyed.
2. A really good evacuation plan, that will be practiced every once in a while, so people would know what to do. This plan would include radio and tv warnings, signs, and an alarm.
3. A shelter far from the coast, much like a stadium or something huge and built well, so the water won't destroy it. Although unlike Katrina, there would be plenty of food and water, bathrooms, and everything needed to survive.
4. A good line of defense like water breakers, sand dunes, trees, and mangroves.
5. Have the buildings be strengthened by supports to cut down on expenses.
6. Insurance to also cut down on the amount of money lost.
With these defenses and plans, the city should make it through the tsunami ok.
Ooops. Forewarning, my post is flipped. It's least important to most important. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteTsunami Preparation Equipment:
ReplyDelete1) Educated residents and staff in the area
2) A hospital a good amount away from the shoreline (on higher ground if possible
3) Hotels or schools for residents/tourists (also on higher ground and preferably close to the hospital)
4) Evacuation sirens, and signs
5) Individual emergency kits (including food, water, extra clothes, flashlights, batteries, etc.)
6) Building reinforcements on major public structures
7) Traffic directors to distribute the traffic evenly
