11.Using evidence from the readings, explain the relationship of transnationalism to assimilation.

No single disaster is more indicative of the need for emergency planning than when Hurricane Katrina struck the city of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of the United States in 2005. The response to this natural disaster has been used as an example of poor emergency planning that led to catastrophic mismanagement and subsequent loss of life and property.

Conduct an analysis of the Hurricane Katrina emergency plan that led to the failures to respond to this natural disaster. Use the general outline below to conduct your case study analysis:

1. Introduction

1. Provide a summary of the dates and facts of the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe and response.
2. Identify those responsible for creating and maintaining an emergency plan.

1. Analyze Preparedness Activities for Hurricane Katrina

1. Prior to Hurricane Katrina’s arrival, what entities were responsible for emergency response to a hurricane striking New Orleans and the Gulf Coast?
2. What emergency plans were in place prior to the arrival of Hurricane Katrina?
3. What training and exercises were conducted to prepare for a hurricane prior to Katrina?
4. Did the populace know what the emergency plan was prior to the arrival of Hurricane Katrina?

1. Analyze Emergency Planning Lessons Learned from Katrina

1. What were the major emergency planning failures that were uncovered by Hurricane Katrina?
2. What organizational and policy factors led to the planning failures of Hurricane Katrina?
3. What lessons learned from the Katrina disaster can now be used to improve the emergency planning for other natural and man-made disasters in the U.S.?
4. What actions have been taken by the federal government to improve emergency planning?

Use a minimum of three sources, in addition to the course textbook, to support your analysis. Two of these sources must be:

1. Write a MATLAB code using for loop that will compute (as its only output) each of the following finite sum. Run it and give the answer (= the output).

(a) Suppose that Randall sets up a 401(k) retirement annuity that pays r = 6% interest, compounded annually. When he turns 35 years old, Randall deposits $3500, and each subsequent year he plans to deposit 5% more than the previous year (due to planned raises and better money management). He continues this until his 65th birthday (when he makes his last deposit and plans to retire). How much will Randall’s annuity be worth then?

(b) Repeat part (a) if the annual deposits are doubled.

(c) Repeat part (a) if the annual interest rate is doubled.

(d) Repeat part (a) if he starts the annuity ten years earlier (when he turns 25), but still continues until his 65^th birthday.

2. Write a MATLAB code using while loop that will compute the following

(a) Suppose that Gomez takes out a loan for $22,000 to buy a new SUV (after trading in his car).

The bank charges 6% annual interest on the unpaid balance, compounded monthly (that’s 0.5% interest each month). If Gomez pays $300 at the end of each month, how many months will it take him to pay off his loan? What is the amount of his last payment? His last payment will just cover the unpaid balance so will likely be less than $300.

(b) If, in writing a while loop to solve this problem you accidentally typed 220000 (rather than 22000); i.e., you added an extra zero to the loan amount. Explain what would happen.
