Consider this scenario: Last night, a male in his early 20s was reported missing along a local body of water, a pond, river, lake, or ocean, in your jurisdiction after a night out with friends at a local bar. There is no eyewitness information about his disappearance, but a shoe resembling what he was wearing was spotted this morning on the shore of the waterway.

The city manager, police chief, local media, and the missing man’s family are putting more and more pressure on fire/rescue to call in divers to search for the missing man.

After reviewing this scenario, explain types of risk management and mitigation and how they might impact decisions made concerning major issues, potential solutions, and recommendations for the given situation. Your analysis must be a minimum of two pages in length. A minimum of one supporting source is required, which can include your textbook. Use APA Style when writing your responses.

1. Three piezometers located 1000m apart, bottomed in the same horizontal aquifer.

Piezometer A is due South of B and C is to the East of line AB.

The surface elevation at ABC is 95, 110, and 130m respectively. The depth of water in A is 5 m, B 30m, and C 35m.

Determine the direction of groundwater flow. Show the triangle ABC.

2. The following field notes were taken at a nest of piezometers a,b,c installed side by side at a single site Piezometer a. b. c.

Elevation at surface (masl) 450 450 450

Depth of piezometer (m) 150 100 50

Depth of water (m) 27 47 30

Let A, B, C refer to the points of measurement of piezometers a, b, c.

Calculate the;

a. The hydraulic head at A, B, C in meters.

b. The pressure head at A, B, C in meters.

c. The elevation head at A, B, C in meters.

In Chapter 6, we discuss about Environmental Ethics, the application of ethical standards to relationships between people and non-human entities. The term ethics can also refer to the set of moral principles or values held by a person or a society. We can simplify our continuum of attitudes toward the natural world by dividing it into three ethical perspectives; Anthropocentrism, Biocentrism, and Ecocentrism.

In this discussion board, I want you to explain what your perspective on the development of a shopping mall with a grocery store atop a wetland in your town or city would be.

The graded elements in this discussion board will be as follows:

1. First, discuss the ethical perspective of the position you will take in this regard. Is it an anthropocentric, a biocentric or an ecocentric perspective and why? (7.5 pts)
2. Then explain how you would evaluate the development of a shopping mall atop a wetland in your town or city. What criteria would sway you to say it is permissable or not? (7.5 pts)
3. Comment on someone else’s posting. Are there points they could’ve considered in their decision?

On the first page of the template, write a letter about empowerment addressed to a new rookie firefighter on your crew. Specifically discuss the empowerment of when and how to speak up, how to be tactful in speaking up to more seasoned firefighters or officers, and the importance of all firefighters watching out for unsafe practices.

On the second page of the template, write a letter to your company officer or a chief officer if you are a company officer addressing a situation where you or a peer could have been injured. In the fire service, these situations are commonly referred to as close calls, but solid situational awareness prevents a bad ending. You are required to explain the situation that occurred and identify recommendations to prevent it from happening again (e.g., training, equipment changes, or staffing issues).
