As previously mentioned in Module 1, Contingency/Emergency Action Plans are developed by Emergency Managers with the focus directed on covering all perceived or actual vulnerabilities that could that could be destroyed or damaged during a natural or manmade disaster.   Due diligence by Emergency Managers executing well-constructed contingency will make this happen.  However, sometimes issues may surface that may have been overlooked by planners in designing these contingency plans.
For this assignment, you were directed in Module 3 to prepare and submit a draft of a contingency/emergency action plan.  Your instructor provided feedback, and guidance on the draft.  Furthermore, you were also directed to converse with your city or county’s emergency management team, schedule an appointment and present your concern(s) regarding the hazard or vulnerability you uncovered.  Please provided the date and contact information of the staff member you briefed and submit the final copy of your plan which incorporates any feedback from your instructor and the City or Country’s Emergency Management team that you met with.
It is advisable that you review the following in designing your plan:

1. Select a qualitative question you are interested in investigating. Discuss the basics of qualitative research: what are the characteristics, what is included, what are the 4 designs of the qualitative type research, which type would be appropriate for your qualitative research question and why?2. Visit https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-da… and explore some topics of interest to you. Discuss how epidemiologic methods are used to evaluate Healthy People 2020 objectives. Give an example. The example can be one you created or one from an actual study. Include the primary goal/purpose of the descriptive or analytical study, design type in the category chosen, uses of analytic or descriptive type, at least one advantage and disadvantage of the design type.3. Consider a patient centered issue you have observed recently. Formulate a research question related to that issue. Identify the independent and dependent variable, hypothesis and type of hypothesis. What type of research study design would you use to address that issue, what type of sampling or sampling strategy would you use? Defend your choices with support from peer-reviewed journal sources.4. Discuss the characteristics or attributes that should be appraised when evaluating qualitative and quantitative designs in relation to rigor or quality of its type? How do the characteristics or attributes of greatest importance in qualitative or quantitative type differ? Give an example.5. Think of a change that is being implemented or was recently implemented at your workplace (hospice) or clinical setting. Briefly explain the change. How do the changes identified relate to outcomes? How will data be used to evaluate these outcomes? What is the bedside nurse’s role in dissemination or communication of clinical findings?

Your Task: Develop an “intake” briefing for a group of software engineers who have been tasked with developing a standard set of security review processes for virtual teams. The purpose of these processes is to ensure that compliance for software security requirements is verified resulting in software applications and software-based products where security is “built in.” The company also intends that these processes be used towards the organization’s achievement of Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 3 — Defined.Background: Software development is a complex task, especially as technology changes at the speed of light, environments evolve, and more expectations are placed upon vendors who want to be competitive within the software market. Many software development organizations also depend upon virtual teams whose members are geographically dispersed. This complexity also makes implementing and testing security features (for software applications) much more challenging.Format: This week, the format for your deliverable (posting) will be “Talking Points.” Talking points are presented in outline format and contain the content that you would put on slides in a slide deck. Your outline should include 5 to 7 major points (“slide titles”) followed by 3 to 5 supporting points for each. Remember to put enough information into the talking points that your peer reviewers can understand what you intend to cover in each section of your briefing. Remember to introduce the topic at the beginning, present your analysis, and then close your briefing with an appropriate summary. Include a list of sources (3 or more) which attendees could refer to if they wish to fact check your work.5-7 Major Points (Slide titles) with 3 to 5 supporting point each formatted as a list below each title.

Digital forensics is an important aspect in risk management. Particularly, digital forensics is important with the growing need for data and increased operations in the digital space. Digital forensic includes the use of procedures and knowledge in the computer science field together with investigative policies in the inspection of digital evidence. It therefore is important in risk management since it assists to gain insights from data collected (Sunde & Dror, 2019). Through digital forensic a firm can uncover hidden trail of operations that could negatively influence a firm’s successful operations. Through forensic then the firm can predict whether a risk is likely to occur in the near future and therefore prepare for the same accordingly. Digital forensic can be applied to the database holding all the data related to risks for particular or wholesome operations in the firm. In practice it is important that there is an establishment of rights management systems for databases to ensure access to databases for forensic investigations. This is important because lack of rights management will render the database inaccessible. This will go against the principals of digital forensic since access to the data is important. Digital forensic allows for the risks into be classified and handled based on adequate and available data. In the current dispensation data is important towards decision making in risk handling.  Firm should therefore establish principles in the collection and storage of data. This is particularly in the effort to ensure there is access to databases in order to conduct audits on operational data.
