Answer:

Explanation:

  A crisis plan is an organization that can guide you through your impact. Whether it's a weather disaster, a highly publicized lawsuit or a bad product review, a plan could help. In August 2007, there was an earthquake in Peru that affected over 655,000 people. Red Cross took action and supplied them with food, water, and shelter.

  The Peru Earthquake was an 8.0 magnitude with many aftershocks. This earthquake is well known and some citizens are still recovering. Six Red Cross workers responded and supported them with cash to provide basic health services, shelter, clean water, and sanitation practices. The total funding was 3.4 million dollars. The American Red Cross, its partners in PADRU and the Peruvian Red Cross continue to monitor and assess the situation. Assistance by the American Red Cross may include mobilizing relief workers, supplies and financial resources. Volunteers and staff from Red Cross were immediately mobilized to assist the victims of the strong tremor. Its epicenter was located in the Pacific Ocean close to the Peruvian coast. It lasted more than one minute and was felt in Bolivia and Chile. Roads, telephone and electricity lines had been severely damaged and communication was very difficult.

 The U.S Department of Defense provides the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation's security. Their priorities are lethality, partnership, and reform. Their budget is 716 billion dollars and we have gathered more than 160 countries to participate. There is a total of 2.87 million people in this organization. DOD (Department of Defense)  is an executive branch department of the federal government charged with coordinating and supervising all agencies and functions of the government directly related to national security and the United States Armed Forces. On December 8, 2000, trouble called in. A C-130 Hercules from Little Rock AFB, Ark., declared an in-flight emergency with an engine problem. Shortly after the call air traffic controllers reported smoke on the south end of the runway near the fire training area. Emergency crews from the base fire department, security forces and clinic responded to the scene. The aircraft, with four people on-board, had crashed. Fire crews quickly suppressed the flames and began to look for survivors. While an aircraft didn't crash at McConnell, the base did practice responding to this scenario during the Major Accident Response Exercise.

As you can see a crisis plan can help any situation. Whether it's a weather disaster, a highly publicized lawsuit or a bad product review, your reaction should be immediate, focused and emphatic, a plan could help. A crisis-management plan will enable you to identify resources that might be needed in the event of an emergency or disaster. When your clients are depending on you, you will have to be prepared with a backup plan to reassure them of your ability to continue to provide services or products to them.

Why did so many African countries face difficult challenges after winning their independence?
-BARSIC- [3]
<h3>One of the most pressing challenges African states faced at Independence was their lack of infrastructure. European imperialists prided themselves on bringing civilization and developing Africa, but they left their former colonies with little in the way of infrastructure. The empires had built roads and railroads - or rather, they had forced their colonial subjects to build them - but these were not intended to build national infrastructures. Imperial roads and railways were almost always intended to facilitate the export of raw materials. Many, like the Ugandan Railroad, ran straight to the coastline. </h3><h3> </h3><h3> </h3><h3>These new countries also lacked the manufacturing infrastructure to add value to their raw materials. Rich as many African countries were in cash crops and minerals, they could not process these goods themselves. Their economies were dependent on trade, and this made them vulnerable. They were also locked into cycles of dependencies on their former European masters. They had gained political, not economic dependencies, and as Kwame Nkrumah - the first prime minister and president of Ghana - knew, political independence without economic independence was meaningless.  </h3><h3> </h3><h3> </h3><h2>Energy Dependence</h2><h3>The lack of infrastructure also meant that African countries were dependent on Western economies for much of their energy. Even oil-rich countries did not have the refineries needed to turn their crude oil into gasoline or heating oil. Some leaders, like Kwame Nkrumah, tried to rectify this by taking on massive building projects, like the Volta River hydroelectric dam project. The dam did provide much-needed electricity, but its construction put Ghana heavily into debt. The construction also required the relocation of tens of thousands of Ghanaians and contributed to Nkrumah's plummeting support in Ghana. In 1966, Nkrumah was overthrown.  </h3><h3> </h3><h2>Inexperienced Leadership</h2><h3>At Independence, there were several presidents, like Jomo Kenyatta, had several decades of political experience, but others, like Tanzania's Julius Nyerere, had entered the political fray just years before independence. There was also a distinct lack of trained and experienced civil leadership. The lower echelons of the colonial government had long been staffed by African subjects, but the higher ranks had been reserved for white officials. The transition to national officers at independence meant there were individuals at all levels of the bureaucracy with little prior training. In some cases, this led to innovation, but the many challenges that African states faced at independence were often compounded by the lack of experienced leadership. </h3><h3> </h3><h3> </h3><h2>Lack of National Identity</h2><h3>The borders Africa's new countries were left with were the ones drawn in Europe during the Scramble for Africa with no regard to the ethnic or social landscape on the ground. The subjects of these colonies often had many identities that trumped their sense of being, for instance, Ghanaian or Congolese. Colonial policies that privileged one group over another or allocated land and political rights by "tribe" exacerbated these divisions. The most famous case of this was the Belgian policies that crystallized the divisions between Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda that led to the tragic genocide in 1994. </h3><h3> </h3><h3>Immediately after decolonization, the new African states agreed to a policy of inviolable borders, meaning they would not try to redraw Africa's political map as that would lead to chaos. The leaders of these countries were, thus, left with the challenge of trying to forge a sense of national identity at a time when those seeking a stake in the new country were often playing to individuals' regional or ethnic loyalties.  </h3><h3> </h3><h2>Cold War</h2><h3>Finally, decolonization coincided with the Cold War, which presented another challenge for African states. The push and pull between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) made non-alignment a difficult, if not impossible, option, and those leaders who tried to carve third way generally found they had to take sides.  </h3><h3> </h3><h3>Cold War politics also presented an opportunity for factions that sought to challenge the new governments. In Angola, the international support that the government and rebel factions received in the Cold War led to a civil war that lasted nearly thirty years. </h3><h3> </h3><h3>These combined challenges made it difficult to establish strong economies or political stability in Africa and contributed to the upheaval that many (but not all!) states faced between the late '60s and late '90s. </h3>

Which revolutionary-era figure is Jefferson referring to in the Declaration of Independence when
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

King George III of Great Britain

Explanation:

In the Declaration of Independence created by Thomas Jefferson and some others on July 4, 1776, he listed a number of injustices meted on the American populace under the rule of King George III of Great Britain. Some of their complaints include the fact that the King refused to pass laws for the greater good of the people and taking all districts into consideration.

Another is the blame that the King repeatedly dissolved legislative bodies that vigorously campaigned for the rights of the people. In total, a long list of twenty-seven sentences containing complaints about the King was noted in the Declaration of Independence.
