Flood Emergency
12/20/18

My plan for an emergency flood is to gather up as many people as i can and get the word spread around that the flood is coming from which direction. I would get all the supplies needed and all possible. then I would find high ground and try to help assist everyone to save there pets kids and love ones in a safe area. with tarp spread out over homes to block windows door and cars to help get less damage to personal property so that less things you have to worry about instead of be scared that you might lose a home or specail items that are being charished by you. By looking at other flood I realize that things are being damaged wether they are there to see it or not but if I knew the flood was coming I would help support the cost of damages before hand like bording up the door to places.
Anything that can get ruined. and some people dont know how to swim so to get life jackets would be a huge save too with multiple layers of clothes on too so you dont get cold. buy rafts from the store or cannos so you can be above ground level. while teaming up with armed forces and firefighters so everyone is on the same page before hand so they can perpare for the issue before it happens. but to improve survival overall for me and my fellow community is to get as much resources as possible while finding high ground with enought supplies to help us last at least a few days because its never garentee when the flood will go away.
and as you can see over the years floods will not go away if annything increase little by little chart shows to 2007 but to this day certian loaction still gets floods. and should have no reason to always be prepare for one that can come out of the blue. learning a lot from the 102 9/11 movie show me how you should be prepare for anything that could happen.

Antony' Emergency Plan

EARTHQUAKE

My natural disaster is an 8.0 Earthquake. It would be one of the most powerful earthquakes in the United States in order to happen. If the Earthquake this massive were to happen many things would be destroyed. Building would be falling apart, phone lines would be down, the streets would crack and open up. Even though the earthquake wouldn't be preventable, we would be informed before it hit and be able to prepare. In order to prepare for it, I would first make a rally point with my family somewhere, that way when the phone lines went out we would be able to meet up and know we were safe. I would go out and buy as much food and medical supplies as I could get. I would also get radios for my family members because its a stronger way to communicate. Its a lot to plan nut in a situation like this you would need to plan it fast. It wouldn't need a lot of people in order for my plan to work but the more people involved in planning it would be easier to communicate with others and the planning would go faster.

I learned a lot by watching the 102 minute film and that made me think about what would I do if that were to actually happen. In this case, it's an earthquake, but the film made me think of how many people couldn’t contact their loved ones and couldn’t get the medical help they needed. I believe my plan is good, and it will help in order to reach my family. I do believe in order to improve it I would have to take into consideration all the debris and rebel that is falling, and all the panic going all around. I do believe I would be prepared for a good week but after supplies would start running low.

If a tornado were to happen in Evanston there would be many warnings on the news, TV, and radio so there wouldn't be any way that you wouldn't know. If that were to happen my plan would be to get as much water and food as possible, turn off all radios and TV,s and gather my family in the basement bathroom where there are no windows.

Getting as much food and water as I can is going to be really important because if the tornado hits my house or where im at it will cause a lot of damage and we could be stuck underneath all the walls and stuff for a long time and without food or water we would die. When a tornado or really strong storm hits there is usually a lot of thunder and lighting and that can also be really dangerous because it can come down a strike something or someone and people can get hurt really bad. Something that attracts lighting and thunder a lot is electricity so I would turn off all TV’s and radios that are around and i will tell everyone to stay away from electricity. The safest spot to go to when a tornado hits ground is your basement because you are more protected there so i would take everyone downstairs.

What I've learned after watching 102 minutes that changed America is that in a really bad situation you have to learn how to stop and think and come up with a good plan because if you panic and make quick decisions without thinking it out you might get yourself in really bad positions. It might be hard at the moment but that will decide whether you live and safe others or die.

Flood

I am addressing an emergency preparedness in the event if a flood would occur. Floods can be caused by an excessive amount of rain and by the rising levels of water in rivers, lakes, and oceans. In our case in Evanston we would more than likely get a flood from a storm surge. I will now get into the plan that will keep all of us from harm in this kind of situation.

The perils involved if this situation were to occur are very serious. There is a danger of drowning, or electrocution. If you are outside in this situation you should avoid driving vehicles through the high rising water. If you are in a home or a building of any kind, you should find your way to the high ground. This will allow you to create separation from the water and yourself, also if you can find a flare or anything to create some sort of signal on the high ground that would help so you can get help.

In case of a real situation I would expect my plan to work fairly well because those are the basics of what you need to survive in that situation depending of course on the seriousness of the flood. There is not much I think I could do to better prepare myself for this situation.

If there were to be a Tornado here in Evanston my family and I would have a greater chance of surviving and in general be safer because of this plan. In advance we will have a first aid kit ready to go and in place in our house. This kit will have band aids, flash light, water, canned food, batteries, etc. Even a whistle will be included in this. Some may think it wouldn't do much but in this case service towers and overall power will be out which means there is really no way of communicating. This whistle will help call out for help since it will draw attention and eventually first responders can come to us. If we are at home we would go down to the basement and remain there until it is safe to go out. If we are somewhere else and not together, we would find the nearest hallway or stairwell and avoid windows. Once it is safe we can attempt to contact each other and if possible go home.
I believe this plan would be successful enough to keep us safe. Preparing in advance for a situation like this benefits my family and other people. This plan being created in advance can help my family and I remain calm which can help the situation. While others being chaotic and panicking my family and I would be much more controlled and calm. We can eventually help de-escalate the situation and possibly help others. In addition, when people remain calm they can act quicker and more efficiently. In addition to being calm, we now have knowledge of where the safest spots are so we will be prepared for this situation.

Social Media Article

One of the many good communicators possible for school announcements would be twitter. It is easy to run a social media page that can provide information in case of an emergency. For instance, if the forecast showed there was going to be heavy rain and possibly lighting and a Friday night during a football game they could make that announcement on Twitter. Social media is a great way to get something spread very quickly. On average teens spend 9 hours on social media a day, and not all at the same time. Also, word spreads quickly about certain things. If people to mostly follow the accounts with the updates then many people would know. Social media is also good to have people organize their clubs better, for instance, if someone were to switch the time of a club meeting last minute there could be an announcement on the Instagram page in a group chat. It is also more common to be seen if it is on social media. Social media is now a great way to communicate, life is full of technology.

ETHS for me is a very safe environment and welcoming environment. I feel like I can express to the school who I really am and be who I want to be. I believe the school does a great job with using social media to keep our kids updated and let people know about events that have been going on. On the other hand I feel like ETHS needs to have more current updates on their social media to let people really know what is going on each and everyday. With the recent passing with one of our fellow seniors I personally believe it should have been noticed a little bit more because it is a fellow life that has been taken by us because of certain things that has happened to him or things that have happened to him. Instead of one week of suicide prevention why are we not told all the time by our social media ETHS to always love yourself and that we are always here for you. This is just the way I see it, it is not that ETHS is in a bad position with social media I just believe it could be a little bit better to really give that big emphasis to the fact that they are always here for us.
