Abstract
This paper takes a look at the emergency services available in Florida and examines whether they would be prepared to deal with a major earthquake. Each service is analyzed for their preparedness, a look at other government assistance available and lists of financial support which would be given to citizens in such an event.

From the paper:

"What would happen if Florida were to be hit by a devastating earthquake? This paper suggests a possible emergency response to such an event. While Florida is as prepared as a state can be (having had a fair amount of practice recently) in responding to hurricanes, it has (of course) relatively little practice in responding to earthquakes. However, some fault lines do lie under the Atlantic, of course, and so Florida is subject to potential earthquakes. Fortunately, while the citizenry here is unfamiliar with earthquakes, many of the basic disaster-preparedness elements that allow us to cope with hurricanes can also be called into play for any other type of natural disaster."

Abstract

It first grounds the instrument and its use in educational theory, describes the instrument, and then answers several criticisms which have been made concerning its usage.

From the Paper
"Adams has stressed the importance of Christian counseling as a help to get Christians to overcome problems that stand as barriers both to greater intimacy with Jesus and with one another. One area where counseling is desperately needed in this regard is marriage. Indeed poll after poll has shown that Christians divorce at the same high rates as non-Christians.

Abstract
The discussion includes the freedom that the kids retain in the re-integration process known as the Salesians methodology. The paper explains the importance of team participation with the government and the need for representatives of the government to change their way of thinking in relation to the street kids.

From the Paper
"In El Salvador there is a Human Rights organization called Olof Palme that is trying to save the lives of thousands of children who are living on the streets. The government at one point ordered the extermination of all the street kids in El Salvador viewing them as a lost sub-culture that were worth nothing to the country. Olof Palme protected the street kids from assassins--most children were spared--9 were murdered by the government's hired killers. Street kids in El Salvador are raped, beaten, given death threats and killed."
