​I need two simple responses to 2 of my classmates’ answers

I need two simple responses to 2 of my classmates’ answers.

please remember that – simple responses without advance vocabulary ( international students).

– less than half page each response.

– I need them with references.

This is the question.

Read the article on the Haddon matrix application (Haddon Matrix Article.pdf ) to public health emergencies in emergency management. The Haddon matrix was designed in the 1960s as a model to understand injury prevention and control. It examines agent, host and environment in three phases, pre-event, event and post-event.

Choose any disaster incident type listed in the Comprehensive Planning Guide (CPG-201 v 2) or the THIRA document and use your skills with data management software programs (Microsoft Excel) to create a matrix that examines the interaction of influencing factors and phase. Don’t forget to include factors that would ‘protect’ or ‘strengthen’ the host to resist damage/injury. This activity is consistent with the first step of the THIRA process!

You may not use any of the examples given in the assigned article. Pay specific attention to attributes of the host found in the assigned reading in Perry and Lindell which may contribute to why emergency planning is difficult or made more difficult. You may choose to write about disaster incidents in other countries but make sure to provide detail about what particular characteristics or societal values are different or unique based on your choice. If you choose to use such an incident, be certain to cite, using APA format, the reports you used to understand that event.

and these are my friends’ answers.

  • Virginia Tech Mass Shooting – Haddon Matrix
  • COLLAPSE
  • Top of Form
  • Hello Everyone,
  • In this post I will use the Haddon Matrix on mass shootings, I chose the Virginia Tech Massacre as an example of a mass shooting incident.
  • Background:
  • On April 16, 2007, Seung-Hui Cho, a senior at Virginia Tech, shot 49 students and faculty, killing 32, before killing himself. The horrifying event occurred in two separate locations. First, Cho killed two people at West Ambler Johnston Hall. Then he headed to Norris Hall, where he killed the other 30 and committed suicide after he realized that the law enforcement was about to arrest him. There has been some criticism of the way the university responded to this incident, continuing with the normal classes after the first shooting was considered to be a mistake (CNN, 2017). Cho showed signs of mental health problems since he was a child. After recognition from his middle and high schools, his parents sought private psychiatric treatment and counseling for his selective mutism and depression (Virginia Tech Review Panel, 2007).
