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 This work outlines the current trend of young students today to drop out of college. It deals with all the possible causes for the increasing rates of drop outs among high school and college students. In concluding, it suggests ways in which students could be counselled and thereby prevent this phenomenon.
From the Paper "The primary aim of education is to help the learner how to learn and promote the society through the knowledge one has acquired during the process of learning. Education enables the learner to develop the facilities of mind, those powers of intelligence and imagination without which no intellectual works can be accomplished. The accent should not only be on professional competence. The primary aim of education is to produce citizens who can exercise their political liberty responsibility. Education develops cultivated persons who can use their leisure fruitfully."
