) In the event of a crisis involving public health, are the authorities that have been delegated to the
person or organization in charge adequate? Are they a little too extensive? Too narrow? Why?

Yes, the powers that have been delegated to the authority are appropriate for dealing with a crisis
involving public health. They are expansive due to the fact that the authority that has been delegated to
the entity includes the ability to implement and perform executive functions in order to support and
enhance all of the stages that are included in the management of an emergency (Brown Jr, &
Ghilarducci, 2017).

2.) Discuss how procedural and due process issues can be addressed during a public health emergency

A list of stakeholders, preparatory actions, mutual assistance and coordination, the management of
people with special needs, response plans, and the process of integrating counteractive actions should
at the very least be included in the plan.

Transportation in conjunction with evacuation: The evacuation plan ought to include barrier-free
transportation providers in order to assist disabled people who have limited mobility in both the
planning and transportation processes. When making plans for transportation, preparations,
embarkation points, transportation hubs, evacuation locations, as well as care and accommodations,
this should be taken into consideration.

Housing: In order to provide adequate housing for the entire population, nursing and housing plans
should take into account the accessibility and functional requirements of the population. The purpose of
a disaster relief site such as an animal shelter is to provide residents with a safe place to live, as well as
food, water, sanitation, and support to meet their fundamental requirements. Daily necessities until you
get home. The normal living standards of residents will not be replicated in shelters, regardless of
whether or not the occupants of the shelter have disabilities, accessibility needs, or functional needs.
Surviving and keeping one's health in its most fundamental form are the top priorities of housing (Brown
Jr, & Ghilarducci, 2017).

3.) Discuss the ways in which substantive problems related to due process can be addressed under a
state of public health emergency.

It is recommended to establish inter-agency committees involved in planning where there are many
jurisdictions that are simultaneously exposed to the same hazards. These planning committees have the
potential to improve regional planning by coordinating responses and exchanging information on the
capabilities and resources that are at their disposal.
In order for emergency managers to have a better understanding of which emergency resources can
fulfill the requirements of the community, they need to form public-private partnerships. In the event
that a disaster occurs, you should encourage local governments and other agencies to prepare recovery
plans. These plans should develop a framework for making choices regarding the recovery and identify
the primary players in the recovery organization. These participants should include both non-
governmental organizations and organizations from the business sector. Additionally, the plan needs to
describe the process and procedures that must be followed when submitting restoration requests to
state and federal authorities. The next step is to provide assistance and oversight to guarantee that the
repair work is carried out in accordance with the specifications of these methods (Brown Jr, &
Ghilarducci, 2017).

4.) Because the person in charge of responding to a public health emergency may have certain powers
or may not have certain powers, are there any procedural or substantive due process issues that may
arise? In such case, what are their names? For instance, in the event that the emergency steps were to
be challenged in court, what do you think a judge would say?

There is the potential for a few problems to arise, such as inadequate resource coordination in an effort
to alleviate the urgent crisis that has arisen. It is highly possible that a judge will rule that the person in
charge should be provided with sufficient resources to address the urgent health issue in a manner that
is both effective and efficient (Brown Jr, & Ghilarducci, 2017).

5.) At some point in the not-too-distant future, each state will be forced to deal with a public health
emergency. When an emergency situation arises, does the state's emergency response plan make it
more likely or less likely that the populace would be protected from harm to their health? Please include
at least three concrete examples and an explanation of how each one could either assist or hinder the
populace in the event of an emergency.

The existence of a state's emergency plan enhances the possibility that the population's health will be
protected in the event of a disaster.

Examples:

1. A strategy to reduce the impact of a pandemic. This can help to ensure that a population is
safeguarded from infection from people who are infected when there is a laid out plan on how a
population could be moved to isolation facilities when such an emergency occurs.
2. A strategy to reduce the risk of a fire emergency. The implementation of this plan has the potential to
reduce the number of people who lose their lives as a consequence of the emergency that is taking
place.

3. A strategy to reduce risks, such as those posed by hazardous chemicals. This plan has the potential to
help preserve the lives of a population by ensuring that the populace is protected from the radiation
that may be released as a result of these potential risks.
