Health 110: Concepts in Personal and Community Health Community Resources Project
The paper should give an overview of AIDS/HIV and detail two community resources available to support individuals who are experiencing AIDS/HIV.
Instructions:
Pick a health issue (AIDS/HIV) about which you would like to learn more. You may use a topic we covered/will cover in class or pick an issue from the book. Note: you must be able to identify two community resources that are available to support individuals who are affected by your chosen issue.
Research your topic and resources: Find sources that provide basic information on AIDS/HIV and look for community resources that are available for support. You must choose 2 resources to present:
Resource #1 must be a physical, local organization.
Resource #2 must be an online resource
2. Give a brief overview of the issue and scope of the problem, to include: prevalence, statistics, populations affected, etc.
3. Give an overview of your two chosen community resources, to include: name of organization, location, hours of availability, services provided, populations served, and any other pertinent information. IMPORTANT: for the LOCAL organization, you must interview someone that works with the organization and provide information from this interview in your paper.
Background Autism, a severe childhood disorder, affects the family system in dramatic ways.
Method Fifty-two parents of children with autism were interviewed to explore their struggles and their successes
qualitatively.
Results Five challenges that emerged from these family’s experiences were: Development, Questioning, Devastation, Solutions,
and Growth. Every parent described the confusion that resulted from their child’s behavioural presentation and the feelings of
loss and devastation that occurred after discovering their child has autism. Parents, however, were swift and eager to mobilise
resources to help their child, sometimes in any possible way. Almost every parent described significant, positive experiences
that resulted from raising a child with autism, despite the hardships.
Conclusions The findings of this study provide important considerations for professionals and families.

You have acquired a vast knowledge about multiple topics relevant to managers and HR employees. You will apply your learning by presenting an overall HR plan for an organization that you have chosen to work on throughout the course (fictitious or real). This is your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to consider and recommend actions to management on how the organization can be most competitive in the global environment by utilizing the organizations best asset; its human resources.
Development of the Plan
You will come up with a fictitious organization or you can use a real organization that is familiar throughout the course. The end product is a paper that presents a comprehensive HR plan for the organization that includes the concepts that you have learned from the text and outside resources. You must include citations in text and a reference page (APA format).
Parameters for the organization
You are free to describe the organization with which you will be associated. You will need to provide some level of detail of your organization. Use your general knowledge, coursework, and research to accomplish this.
Even though you are required to provide general organizational details, your primary function is human resources. Analyze based on this premise.
Assume that a core group of managers and employees (approximately 250) are already in place.
Your organization can produce a product or perform a service.

The requirement for this assignment is to conduct a risk assessment of a real or fictional facility or building. by using the process,in the FEMA model outlined in the FEMA publication, Risk Assessment, Risk Assessment: A How-to Guide to Mitigate Potential Terrorist Attacks Against Buildings. Your paper will consist of an explanation of each step of the process as it relates to the facility of your choice. The process consists of the following steps:
threat identification and rating
asset value assessment
vulnerability assessment
risk assessment
consider mitigation options
In addition to the above rubric, I will be using the following questions as a guide to determine if the major concepts of a basic risk assessment were comprehended.
Was the assignment turned in ontime?
Was the FEMA Risk Assessment Process utilitized?
Was the assignment “professionally” formatted? (Spelling, Grammer, Cover Page, Acronym Page, Definitions, Proper citation, etc)
Threat Identification and Rating (or Ranking)
· Were all (or the majority) threats identified and rated?
· Was the methodology on how the information was collected discussed?
· Were the primary threats discussed and scored?
· Was the threat rating determined for each of the threats and rank?
· Was a Risk Assessment Matrix included?
· Did they define what acceptable risk was?
· Did they use the FEMA provided Worksheet?
Asset Value Assessment:
· Did they ID the layers of the facilities defense? (the 3 layers)
· Did they ID the critical assets? Did they group them by defense layers?
· Did they ID the buildings core functions and infrastructure? Did they represent it with a chart by layers v. threats?
· Did they determine the asset value rating?
· Did they discuss what level of protection their facility fell into?
· Did they look at the probability and severity of each threat as it relates to their facility? How did they achieve this? (SMEs, History, Modeling, etc…)
· Did they define the methodology used to place a value on the facilities assets.
Vulnerability Assessment:
· Did they discuss organizing resources to prepare for the assessment? (Assessment Team Members, Assessment Detail Tier)

· Did they prepare a vulnerability portfolio? (Assessment Checklist, Assessment Database)
· Did they determine the vulnerability rating? (Redundancy, Vulnerability Definition and Rating, Was provided worksheet used?)
Risk Assessment:
· Did they prepare the Risk Assessment Matrices? ID and Determine the Threat Rating, Rate the Asset Value, Critial Functions Asset Value, Critical Function Threat Ratings, Critical Functions Vulnerability Rating,
· Did they determine the Risk Ratings? (Risk= AssetValuexThreat RatingxVuln. Rating, How did they determine Low Risk v. High Risk)
· Did they prioritize observations in the Building Vulnerability Assessment Checklist?

Did they show how the mitigation options lowered the risk to the facility (probability or severity)? Did they look at the probability and severity of each threat as it relates to their facility? How did they achieve this? (SMEs, History, Modeling, a Combination, etc…)
· Did they review mitigation, cost, and the layers of defense?
