rewite the paper
We all know that we live in an earthquake-vulnerable region of the country. We also have seen the devastation that results from earthquakes in other countries: while many of those locations were not retro-fitted to withstand big quakes, therefore leading to even more damage and loss of life, it is also known that nothing is guaranteed to be “earthquake-safe” and that a major quake is expected to hit our region in the future. With this in mind, please write a 1,000+ word essay that answers the following questions:
Which level of government should be responsible for earthquake preparedness? This includes adequate communication systems before, during and after a quake, warning systems before quakes and aftershocks, emergency response mechanisms that can help with building collapses, flooding, fires, food shortages, supply chain disruptions, medical needs, sanitation and safety after a quake.
Given that all of the above will be very expensive, where should the funding come from? And from what other government programs would that funding be taken (unless you suggest raising taxes to pay for it, in which case the question is, how could we fairly assess taxes to pay for earthquake concerns when other parts of the country are not at risk for earthquakes, coping instead with hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.)?
You do not need to do outside research for this essay; please write in your own words and do your best to explain and expand on your suggestions / opinions! Remember: LBCC utilizes plagiarism and AI detection software: any submitted work that is not your own original writing will be flagged and will earn zero credit.
