Unit4IPrevised.potxHealth Organization Disaster Planning and Response Strategy
Introduction
Disaster and emergency planning which involves a co-operative and coordinated procedure of preparation of matching needs which are urgent with the resources available.
Reducing effects which are harmful is the main aim of all hazards, disasters included.
Emergency is defied as the way how normal activities are interrupted, and measures which are immediate need to be taken so that the situation is prevented from being a disaster. (Berger et al. 2016).
Thus, a vital role is played by the emergency management of preventing disruption transforming into disasters, which can be harder to recover from.
Avoiding emergencies from occurring is the first aim, therefore development of a action plan which is better in order to diminish the consequences and also any emergencies effects.

Ethical Decision Making Model
Ethical standards are developed by leaders that are a requirement for employees to adhere to.
Ethical standards sources include;
Utilitarian which is an approach of about balance trying to produce best results with minimal or no harm to those getting involved.
Rights is another ethical standard source where it looks forward of respecting and protecting the morals and rights of everyone whom ethical decisions could be of impact to them.
Fairness is all about treating everyone in an equal manner regardless of their influence or position n an organization. (Schwartz et al. 2016).
Also, common good is an ethical standard source which strives to protecting the well-being of those surrounding them.
Lastly, virtues which is an approach requiring leaders to base ethical standards on universal virtues like courage, honesty, tolerance, and compassion.

Goals of the Strategy
Avoiding and reducing any loses which could be resulted from hazards.
It therefore means taking necessary action in order to decrease life loss risk or property in future due to hazardous event in the coming years.
Ready assistance is assured to any fatalities
Achieving recovery which is rapid and also effective. (Christians et al. 2015).
Achieving recovery which if effective and also rapid.
Avoiding and reducing any loses which could be resulted from hazards. It therefore means taking necessary action in order to reduce the risk of life loosing or property from a hazardous event in future. Prompt assistance is assured to any victims. Achieving recovery which is rapid and also effective. Achieve rapid and effective recovery.

Reasoning for using Utilitarianism.
Utilitarian is refereed to be an ethical system which is normative whose primary concern is the consequences of ethical decisions.
Therefore, teleological theory best describes it.
They both view that any consequence of an action is the core determinant of the act of being moral or not being moral.
The concept of teleological considers that ethical decisions are dependent upon consequences of the respective actions.
Thus, a person involved in teleological reasoning with perform tasks which are right it the outcomes of the respective actions are of benefit to all. (Paganini et al. 2016).

Governments resources and how they are being distributed , FEMA, American Red Cross
The vision of FEMA is to serve as a facilitator which is to drive increased understanding to benefit people in the society so that losses are reduced from expected hazards. (Woodruff et al. 2016).
Three grants programs are funded by FEMA so that its vision is well supported.
Sustainable acts taken into consideration of reducing or eliminating long-term risk to property and people from hazards in the future is measured to mitigate hazards.
The HMGP supports post-disaster projects which are cost effective and it is one of the longest mitigation programs among the three grants programs in FEMA.
FEMA’s vision is to serve as a catalyst that drives increased understanding and proactive action to help people in communities reduce their losses from natural hazards. To support this vision, FEMA funds three Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs. Hazard mitigation measures are any sustainable action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from future disasters. The HMGP supports cost-effective post-disaster projects and is the longest running mitigation program among FEMA’s three grant programs

CONCLUSION
Convergence moment is where the current world lies.
Many of the stakeholders, whether civil society, national ministries, or international agencies, understand the concerted action they have to take.
Through coordinated multispectral action, public health should be protected from any emergencies. (Patel et al. 2018).
This framework which is strategic is developed in capturing this momentum, performing on the desire, general one, for preparing all emergencies which impend the health of the people.
