One of the sad realities of disasters is that they can result in the loss of human life. Many emergency responders have learned this from their own experience, and they will remember the incident for a long time. Mass fatality disasters are often long remembered by the responders, the community, the state, and the nation. Disaster management is important, and every plan should have a section on fatality management.  By definition, a mass fatality incident is any situation where there are more bodies than can be handled using local resources. There is no minimum number of fatalities to become a mass fatality incident because communities vary in size and resources. When a passenger aircraft crashes carrying 100 to 300 passengers or a building structure with hundreds of people inside collapses, the incident would probably be deemed a mass fatality incident, even in the largest of cities. Likewise, an incident like a mad gunman killing five people can be called multiple fatality incidents, but it may not be a mass fatality incident if it occurs in a major city. In any case, the recovery, identification, and disposition of the victims are the responsibilities of the medical examiner/coroner of the jurisdiction where the incident occurs. There are many volunteer organizations and community businesses able to assist the medical examiner/coroner during a mass fatality incident response. Scenario You have been assigned as the lead for a mass fatality incident in your county and as a Public Health professional you do have significant expertise in this area. Be sure to discuss training on the basic mass fatality incident response principles and procedures.    How would you prepare for mass fatality incidents?   How is the overall disaster response plan managed by the emergency management office? What is the hospital’s role during disaster preparedness and mass fatality management?

There are many diseases affecting populations around the globe that include a cultural component as to how they are perceived, treated or cured, and who should be involved when addressing illness. For instance, during the large-scale Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2015, there were several cultural practices that perpetuated the transmission of disease and hindered containment efforts. Health and medical professionals must respond to these ‘public health emergencies’ quickly but must take into consideration how the affected population will react to the response, including cultural beliefs that may contribute to the continued spread of these infections. Choose either the 2014-15 Ebola outbreak in West Africa or a specific population affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic as the topic for your paper, and write a minimum 500-word expository essay that addresses the following: ·         Provide a brief description of the chosen outbreak. ·         What organizations were/are responsible for responding to the chosen public health emergency? ·         How did these organizations address cultural practices that may have contributed to the spread of disease? ·         Was importance placed on how the disease was perceived, treated, and who needed to be involved (traditional healers, religious healers, etc.) in the response? ·         In your opinion, how successful were the organizations in trying to change cultural beliefs to prevent the spread of disease?

Thinking of Robin of Locksley, William Marshal, and Chaucer’s Knight in the Canterbury Tales, what made a noble, good and chivalrous knight and a valued and faithful vassal? And what made a bad one? 2.   The Renaissance represents a significant cultural change in Europe that can easily be seen in its ideas, its understanding of history (Antiquity), its literature, and its art. Consider the characteristics of the Renaissance described by Jacob Burckhardt and Mark Bailey, and with examples discuss how the thought, literature, and art of Renaissance Humanism during the 14th—16th Centuries was fundamentally different than late medieval thought, literature, and art in theory, values, content, and methods. 3.    The literary and artistic Renaissance represented the “rebirth” of Antiquity. What did that “rebirth” mean in philosophical, practical, and theological terms to men of the time like Erasmus, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Martin Luther and how was it expressed in their various works? 4.    When in 1517 Martin Luther pinned his 95 Theses to the door of the cathedral in Wittenberg, Saxony, he initiated the Protestant Reformation. Discuss the worries about the state of the Church and the state of his soul that led Luther to radical conclusions concerning the efficacy of Catholic doctrines and devotional practices. Could one argue that Luther represented the application of Humanist ideas and techniques to Scripture and to the Church itself?
