Discussion questions wk 4

Topic 1: Current Events
Research current events related to the course topics covered and post at least two of these events to the Discussion Board. Within your posting, describe how your chosen items tie to the course so far. You may use the Library or any other outside resource for your research. Be sure to use proper citation.

Topic 2: Need for Preparedness
As outlined in the readings, communicating the need for preparedness can be a very daunting task. During Hurricane Katrina the local news channels showed thousands of residents stranded at the Superdome. Some theorists argued that the local, state, and federal governments should have played a larger role in the evacuation process, while others argued that the individual residents should have taken proper precautions. Explore these arguments further in the discussion. How much of a responsibility for preparedness rests with the individual? With the community? With the local, state, and/or federal government?

Topic 3: Preparedness: Community and Business Sector Partners
It is a recognized principle that a plan involving the coordinated efforts of multiple resources will produce the best results. The private sector is emerging as an increasingly important component as a sector partner. As an emergency coordinator, how would you recruit and involve community and business sector partners in preparedness and response programs and activities?

Arduino IDE coding ( Computing )

Introduction
In this assignment you will write software for your Arduino that will analyse the transmission of messages sent and received through software serial ports connected to a “virtual network” of hosts (networked computer devices) running on the connected Nano. The overall aim of the work is to determine which hosts are present on which ports and to analyse the performance of the virtual network. This assignment is divided into several tasks and you should complete each task before moving on to the next:

Task 1 will send messages to a port to determine if a host can be reached.
Task 2 will analyse how long it takes to get a response from a connected host whose port is known.
Task 3 will determine which port each host is connected to.
Task 4 will analyse the response times of hosts on each port.

Note that this assignment assumes that you have completed the practical work carried out during the module.
The program you write for this assignment should consist of a number of functions and test functions. Each test function should be called at the end of setup() while you are working on the relevant task.
