Writing Homework Help

Controlling and preventing loss is a critical goal of risk management.  Hopkin discusses two terms – likelihood and magnitude – that relate to this goal.  Select one of these terms and briefly describe how it may be taken into consideration when to successfully mitigate loss. 

I attached the book. Please see the attachments. (Read Chapters 13 and 14 and write only 2-3 paragraphs)

The Word file is just editing part #7 Current and Planned Objectives:

and here is my teacher’s comments:

S = Simple – Yours are simple

M = Measurable – Another person must be able to determine if your objective was met so your objectives must be specific. 

A = Achievable = Also called realistic

R = Relevant – Appropriate for the scenario

T – Time oriented – Be specific.  Within one hour?  Three days (as in 6)?

Here are yours:  I added some comments in itlaics.

.1 We carefully search through the ruins and try and locate the missing staff and the missing residence (A residence is a place.  You mean residents).

The word try is vague.  This is search and rescue. It is simple, realistic and relevant but not measurable.  Be specific.  How long should this take? (Be realistic.  It would not be possible, for example, to do this in 10 minutes).  Also, an objective does not include words like we or they.  Begin with “Search the building ….”

2. They are quickly rushed to hospital and in case they are in a critical condition they are rushed into the emergency room.  Specify who you mean by ‘they.’  What does quickly mean?  In what time frame should those victims be transferred?  To where?

3. We secure the area by deploying a few officers to make sure it is not tampered with so that investigations can begin. How many are ‘a few?’  What kind of officers? Does a nursing home have officers?  What do you mean by tampered with?  Time frame?

4. We switch off the electricity entries into the building to prevent any electrocution. “Shut electricity within 5 minutes of building collapse.”  You don’t need an explanation as to why.

5. Take out the residents’ goods to prevent them from being stolen. Is this really a priority in a collapsed building being searched by rescue personnel?

6. Re-evaluate the whole building to know exactly what the cause was.  When?
