Consider vulnerability theory and use it to help you explain how your community may be vulnerable to fire, followed by systems theory to help you discuss the systems (organizations, policies, procedures, etc.) in place to mitigate the fire hazard.
InstructionsFor the Unit II Case Study, you will focus on fires and fire prevention in your community, specifically structural fires and wildfires. Start by conducting research around your community/location for examples of mitigation and fire prevention, such as sprinkler systems, emergency fire exits, or fire hydrants. Take photographs (ok to use pics found on internet) of what you find so that you can show your professor what your area has done to address the issue of fires.Using what you learned about your community and what you learned about past fires from this course, write a case study, a minimum of four pages in length, that addresses the following points:Explain what has been done with regard to mitigation, recovery, and/or response efforts within your community. When looking for potential threats, consider wildlands, explosions, or home fires, and, for mitigation, examples include building codes and fireproofing.Explain who conducted these efforts and the vulnerabilities they faced in their community, and include the role these individuals or groups play with mitigating, responding, and/or recovering from the risk.Examine the causes and recovery efforts of at least one past fire that either occurred in your community or that you have researched. Explain the causes and contributing factors of this fire.Examine the vulnerability in a larger context. Considering past fires, either in your community or surrounding areas, do you feel your community has done enough to prevent future fires? Why, or why not? What recommendations can you offer to your community to address future risks?Consider vulnerability theory and use it to help you explain how your community may be vulnerable to fire, followed by systems theory to help you discuss the systems (organizations, policies, procedures, etc.) in place to mitigate the fire hazard.Your paper should be a minimum of four pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. You are required to use a minimum of three outside sources as part of your case study. All sources, including the textbook, must be cited and referenced according to APA guidelines.Additionally, include at least four visual aids/images that support your content (one 4-by-4-inch image per page maximum).

describe the organization of Congress and committees along party lines
In Chapters 6 and 7 of Davidson etal. describe the organization of Congress and committees along party lines. Leaders are said to stand at the intersection of the two Congresses (155) and face the task of resolving the collective action problem of members who want to dodge the responsibility for making the compromises necessary to pass legislation by devising sufficient incentives (political, policy, or procedural) to attract majority support (132f). However, Davidson etal. concludes, typically party leaders cannot command their colleagues. Their leadership rests chiefly on their skill in giving others reasons to follow them (161).You might consider this an implicit limitation imposed on Congress by the political process. Remember, Chapter 2 describes limits on Congress, both explicit and implicit. Explicit limits on the power of Congress include prohibitions against bills of attainder and ex post facto laws, but Davidson (22) also notes that the political process and dependence on the people is an implicit limitation and citesThe FederalistNo. 51.The FederalistNo. 51 concludes with a discussion of the separation of powers. The separation of powers is implicit in the Constitution, and the Court has relied principally onThe Federalist Papersfor understanding it and the implicit limitation that it is the reason of the public alone that ought to control and regulate the government (No. 49).After reviewing the course readings onThe Federalist Papers, select 1 of the following structural elements fromThe Federalist Papers: large republic, free suffrage, length of term, or size of Congress. Explain how the chosen structural element contributes to meaningful deliberation and the public good.
