Response to Question 1
Hurricane Katrina was an uncommon catastrophic event that brought about a human misfortune. The storm flood in Mississippi crushed waterfront towns and left hundreds destitute. Flooding crashed heavily on New Orleans. More than 1,500 people were killed altogether (Raker, Zacher & Lowe, 2020). For more than seven days, a huge number of individuals all through the Gulf Coast were without fundamental necessities. Central government offices like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the United States Coast Guard (USCG), state and nearby level offices, bureaucratic and National Guard troopers, non-administrative associations, noble cause, and private people generally added to the catastrophe recuperation reaction following Hurricane Katrina. Notwithstanding, the experiencing that continued in the long stretches of time following the storm didn't happen in a vacuum; rather, it persevered longer than it ought to have due to - and was exacerbated now and again by - the disappointment of government at all levels to design, plan for, and answer forcefully to the storm. These inadequacies were not simply self-evident; they were far reaching. The Committee found four overall components among the various that prompted these disappointments –
· All levels of government officials failed to give effective leadership.
· Long-term warnings were unheeded, and government officials failed to fulfill their responsibilities to prepare for a foreseen disaster.
· Officials' reliance on systems to support their response activities failed; and
· In the days leading up to and following landfall, government authorities took insufficient action or made bad judgments.
Moreover, these individual failures occurred against the backdrop of a long-term failure to build the capacity for a coordinated, national response to a really catastrophic disaster, whether natural or man-made.

So I'm going to pick a natural catastrophe for my paper, preferably a hurricane because I'm familiar with them. Hurricanes are powerful storms that may destroy both man-made and natural buildings with winds of 74 mph or higher. Hurricanes usually begin over Warm Ocean, but when they hit land, they force a wall of water onshore, which is referred to as a storm surge. Scientists can now identify a prospective storm developing into a complete hurricane and anticipate its direction and potential to become a big storm using equipment that has improved through time. This information was utilised to emphasise that this is the initial stage in the process. Gathering catastrophe information is very important so that information and warnings may be issued to help in the prevention of mass fatalities.
The incident would have to take place in South Florida, just because storms are prevalent there, and I'm from there. Beginning around 1851, 40 percent of storms have made landfall in the United States, as indicated by the National Hurricane Centre. 97 major storms have been reported; Miami has been struck by 31 typhoons, while Naples, on the opposite side of Florida, has had 20 landfalls. With whirlwinds mph, Hurricane Andrew was perhaps the most impressive storm to at any point hit land, bringing about 29 fatalities and $25 billion in property harm. The odd viewpoint was that Hurricane Andrew was a CAT 4 tropical storm, which isn't even the most elevated rating on the scale.
Various organizations would be entrusted with answering to the normal catastrophe. Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Florida Department of Education, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida State Parks, Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, and Florida Department of Transportation are only a...
