EMERGENCY PLAN 5

Vulnerability

With this kind of population and infrastructure, Orlando community possesses

weaknesses to both human-made and natural disasters, threats, and stresses. For example, the

unpopular 2016 mass shooting at Pulse led to the death of fifty people and wounding fifty-eight.

In terms of the climate, Orlando experiences dry season between October and May

characterized by wildlife hazard and severe wildfire that spread fast and covers an extensive

area. The area's center population is vulnerable to hurricane causing severe damages. The area's

center population is vulnerable to hurricane causing severe damages (Hurricane Season Public

Health Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Guidance for Health Care Providers, Response

and Recovery Workers, and Affected Communities — CDC, 2017, 2017).

Assumptions

Tornados

They are common in February during the occasional cold frosts of winter. Their

occurrence is unpredictable as they do not have any early signs and warnings.

Drought

The dry season between October and February experiences a lot of droughts. Wildlife is

the most affected during this period in addition to some homes where rainwater is the primary

source.

Wildfire

It is common during Orlando's dry season, between October and May. Fire affects

wildlife severely and sometimes renders homes with single access roads inaccessible.

Terrorism

EMERGENCY PLAN 6

In the recent past, the acts of terrorism have escalated in the area and the world at large.

Terrorists operate in many different ways that are always difficult to predict and affect many

people in varying directions and magnitudes. The mass shooting of a nightclub Pulse, for

example, left many people dead and scores injured.

Technological Hazards

Hazardous materials. According to Sentinel investigation findings, several rivers in

Orlando are in serious trouble due to the dangerous materials deposited in the water from the

surrounding firms and farms (Science magazine sting investigation finds widespread abuse in

open-access publishing, 2013). The water pollution is likely to have far-reaching effects on

wildlife and people who depend on the rivers for various uses.

Road accidents. There are several cases of road accidents mostly along the highways

Air craft accidents. There are numerous cases of air accidents in the area.
