    It was October 3rd 1993, and the D-Boys, Delta Company, were preparing themselves for a quick strike on a suspected house that could possibly be holding Aidid or several of his lieutenants. The mission was supposed to be a quick in and out, taking an hour to possibly 30 minutes or less. If everything was to go to plan the D-boys would have successfully grabbed and tagged Aidid and at least two of his lieutenants, and be back to eat supper and sleep comfortably in their beds. Because the mission was only to last a few minutes the Ranger’s supporting the D-boys instead of preparing for a long fight left behind vital night vision supplies and even water. This would result in trouble for the men entering into Mogadishu as the fight would not take 30 minutes, but would result in a long gruesome 15 hour battle.…

    Politics played a large role in terms of the slow, emergency response to the tragedy. Many politicians were interviewed and mostly claimed they were unaware of what had happened in New Orleans. What was even more shocking, was how long it took president Bush to become conscious of the issue. This happened on the fifth day after the hurricane. People were starving, searching for shelter and trying to find missing relatives. Some tried to leave the city, but were met by military men with guns, who had just instructed them to go back. These politicians were abusing their power and forgetting about what…

    The emergency responders that responded to Hurricane Katrina saved thousands of lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars in property. These men and women brought hope to a region devastated by one of the worst disasters in the history of the United States. However, the response to Hurricane Katrina was unsatisfactory by most people’s standards. This meager response greatly overshadowed the high-quality work that the emergency responders performed. The inadequate response can be attributed to each of the four different elements of an effective emergency response.…

    The initial response or lack thereof, to the widespread disaster in the Gulf Coast, caused by Hurricane Katrina, demonstrated high levels of incompetence and disorganization by government officials. Images of desperate individuals awaiting rescue on their rooftops, and masses of people packed together in deplorable conditions in the Super Dome, circulated the globe. There was no hiding from the painful reality and the obvious inaction or inability of those responsible to care for these individual in the wake of this catastrophe. (12, 791)…

    The 3 consisted of a Legislative, Executive and Judicial branch while previously there was only a unicameral legislature. The Legislative branch now become bicameral and consisted of a house of representatives based on population and an equal number of senate which satisfied both large and small states. The Constitution then appointed the President and his cabinet to the Executive Branch where they vetoed or executed and enforced laws passed by the Legislature, whereas in the Articles enforcing the laws was a challenge and resulted in citizens not abiding by the law. Finally, the judicial branch otherwise known as the Supreme Court. This branch reviewed and interpreted laws passed by the legislative branch and decided if either branch’s action were unconstitutional. This had actually been established by Chief Justice John Marshall after the famous case of Marbury vs. Madison. Creating 3 branches allowed separating the powers and each branch checked each other and maintained a balance so that neither branches become too…

    Prior to landfall, the doors to the Superdome opened and approximately 16,000 people sought refuge there, but 16,000 would not even make a dent in 70,000 people who sought shelter after the storm. After Katrina took her path through the south (dissipating near the Great Lakes), the damage continued. As the shelters arose, FEMA officials became aware with that fact that their accommodations would not be enough. “More than one million people in the Gulf region were displaced by the storm. At their peak hurricane relief shelters housed 273,000 people. Later, approximately 114,000 households were housed in FEMA trailers” (“Hurricane Katrina”). Even the Governor of Louisiana projected the downfall of the safety camps. “The shelters will end up probably without electricity or with minimum electricity from generators in the end (United States et al.). Consequently, countless numbers of people needed to look for help elsewhere, whether it meant to uproot and settle down within another state, fend for themselves in a harsh and dangerous time or even wait it out and hope for…
