Answer:

Check Explanation(Last paragraph).

Explanation:

For the record, Civil Engineers that are workers of government are known as city Engineers. The Government are usually governments presiding over cities. These city Governments will give the civil engineers work to execute for instance building bridges, road and many more.

One of their other roles that is city Engineers is that of what is given in the question that is they build plans to avoid environmental hazards("contingency planning for another major flood'').

So, to answer the question, my response to the council will be;

'' please, let us prepare better for future disasters. Let us learn from this flood disaster. There can be another disaster that will be worse than this so we need to prepare, anything can happen be it tsunami or tectonic shift''.

Using your sociological imagination, how would you explain the connection between the Pandemic and class conflict in the United
aksik [14]

Answer:

The Pandemic and class conflict in the U.S. and across the world has a close connection.

While it is true that the virus can infect everyone, from rich to poor, to even presidents and prime ministers, if we look at the statistics in many areas, it can be seen that not only poor people are more likely to get sick from the virus, they are also more likely to die from it.

This is because poverty is a condition that affects every single aspect of a person's life: from the way they dress, to the type of house they dwell in, to they kind of medical care they have access to. In fact, many poor people do not even have healthcare.

In this sense, the lower class is more likely to suffer and die from the virus, and this is why it is important that government around the world step in and protect the poor by providing them with healthcare, and with guaranteed incomes if they lose their jobs, or have to stop working due to the lockdowns and the economic decline.
