there are several risks that threaten the community here in the Panhandle of Florida. I chose to use the Walton County plan because my facility‚ the Alaqua Animal Refuge‚ is located in Freeport‚ Fl. Some natural hazards listed in the LMS (Local Mitigation Strategy) to be aware of are hurricanes and tropical storm rain events‚ flooding‚ high winds‚ tornados‚ wild fire‚ and earthquakes. Some technological and political hazards include power failures‚ nuclear accidents/radiation‚ disease or pandemic

the global economy is likely to be quite small over the next 50 years. Severe impacts even by the end of the century are unlikely. The greatest threat that climate change poses to long‐term economic growth is from potentially excessive near‐term mitigation efforts. 1. Introduction - The consensus among scientists world-wide that global climate instability may occur if the current rate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is not reduced is strong enough for taken national and international actions

Introduction Writing the project plan provides a structured framework for thinking about how the project will be conducted. A significant value of writing a project plan is the process rather than the outcome. It forces the players to think through their approach and make decisions about how to proceed. A project plan can be formal‚ as stakeholders and supporters approve documents and procedures used to guide both project execution and project control. Overall‚ project plans create a system of document

Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activitity on the biophysical environment. Environmentalism‚ a social andenvironmental movement that started in the 1960s‚ addresses environmental issues through advocacy‚ education and activism. The carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has already exceeded 400 parts per million (NOAA) (with total "long-term" GHG exceeding 455 parts per million). (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report) This level is considered

Noise Noise pollution is excessive‚ displeasing human‚ animal‚ or machine-created environmental noise that disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life. The word noise may be from the Latin word nauseas‚ which means disgust or discomfort.[1] The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly construction and transportation systems‚ including motor vehicle noise‚ aircraft noise‚ and rail noise.[2][3] Poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution‚ since side-by-side industrial
