Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because of the recognition of the need to be prepared, programs have been created to address the national, state, and local management of disasters. President George W. Bush established the NIMS in 2004. The NIMS provides a systematic, proactive approach for all levels of government and nongovernmental agencies to work seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and prevent the effects of disasters (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2012). The ARC is not a governmental agency. It is chartered by Congress to provide disaster relief. It works in partnership with FEMA, DHS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other local, state, and federal agencies to provide and manage needed services. The DHS was established to realign the existing agencies, groups, and organizations into a single department, focusing on protecting the American people and their homeland. The mission of the FEMA is to support citizens and first responders to ensure that, as a nation, everyone works together to build, sustain, and improve the capacity to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Among all females, homicide ranks in the top five causes of death among ages 1 to 44 years. Homicide is the third leading cause of death among females in the age groups of 1 to 4 and 20 to 29 years, is the fourth leading cause of death in the 5 to 14 year age group, and ranks fifth in the 30 to 34 year age group.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
