Essay Topic : Climate Change and California Wildfires
There are countless jungles and trees in the world, and a careless one can cause Wildfires. Such problems should be paid more attention to by us.
Climate change and environmental pollution caused by wildfires have a serious impact on human health and longevity. “The California Air Resources Board nodded to these risks? “It found that smoke produced from the Camp Fire lasted up to two weeks and elevated levels of lead and zinc as well as traces of calcium, iron and manganese were traced more than 150 miles away?smoke cover was reported as far away as New York City, raising the air quality index to unhealthy levels, according to AccuWeather” (Delgado 1). The consequences of air pollution caused by wildfires are terrible. It seriously affects the air quality of the region, and it can spread. This environmental pollution has also affected the economy and life of many communities, and residents are also faced with unemployment, poverty, and the loss of educational opportunities. When the Public environment was greatly affected by Wildfires, people were also greatly affected and their health was at risk. Therefore, Wildfires threatened Public Health.
Public policy should be formulated when the social collective, namely the human community and the community environment are in danger. The government or relevant agencies may develop policies or laws to address threats to the community. Urban planning plans the layout of human settlements. It considers land use and the development and design of the built environment, including air, water, and infrastructure. Wildfires lead to air pollution, and some areas, such as San Joaquin Valley, are vulnerable to air pollution, which should be taken into account in urban planning. “Last week, the utility company Pacific
Gas and Electric Corp. in California committed to taking 10,000 miles of power lines in “High Fire Threat Districts” and putting them underground, to avoid wildfire disasters like those blamed on the company in previous years”(Delgado 3). “We have plans in place and plans for those plans,” Taylor Poisall, a spokeswoman with the Red Cross of Central California, told the NewsHour. This is a “public policy” as well. These are some examples of how to solve the problems of wildfires. They can effectively prevent wildfires and protect the safety of residents and the environment.
Wildfires affect public health, therefore, people should find ways to solve the problem and attach importance to it by using public policy and urban planning. [supanova_question]

Project Title:
Project Management Intranet Site project
Scenario Overview:
An organization may initiate information technology projects for several reasons, but the most important reason is to support business objectives. Providing a good return on investment at a reasonable level of risk is also important, especially in tough economic times. Company (a) which is a consultant in IT projects, wants to follow a standard process for managing its own projects since its core business is helping other organizations manage projects. Developing an intranet site to share its project management knowledge could help it to reduce internal costs by working more effectively, and by allowing existing and potential customers to access some of the firm s information. Company (a) could also increase revenues by bringing in more business.
Company a business goals is to provide excellent project management consulting services to various organizations. They believe the firm can streamline operations and increase business by providing information related to project management on its intranet site, making some information and services accessible to current and potential clients.
The Project Management Intranet Site Project will support these goals by increasing visibility of the firm’s expertise to current and potential clients by allowing client and public access to some sections of the intranet. It will also improve profitability by reducing internal costs by providing standard tools, techniques, templates, and project management knowledge to all internal consultants, this project must meet those criteria.
The proposed intranet site must be a valuable asset for the company. Current consultants and clients must actively support the project, and it must pay for itself within one year by reducing internal operating costs and generating new business. The new system must run on existing hardware and software, and it should require minimal technical support. It must be easily accessible by consultants and clients and be secure from unauthorized users.
The main features of the project management intranet site include the following:
1. Access to several project management templates and tools. Users must be able to search for templates and tools, read instructions on using these templates and tools, and see examples of how to apply them to real projects. Users must also be able to submit new templates and tools, which should be first screened or edited by the Project Management Office.
2. The new intranet should include access to several important articles on various project management topics, which are searchable by topic, and allow users to request the Project Management Office staff to find additional articles to meet their needs.
4. An Ask the Expert feature to help build relationships with current and future clients and share knowledge with internal consultants.
5. Appropriate security to make the entire intranet site accessible to internal consultants and certain sections accessible to others.
6. The ability to charge money for access to some information. Some of the information and features of the intranet site should prompt external users to pay for the information or service. Payment options should include a credit card option or similar online payment transactions. After the system verifies payment, the user should be able to access or download the desired information.
A preliminary estimate of costs for the entire project is $140,000, estimated to end after six months.
Scope Statement:
Project Title: Project Management Intranet Site Project
Date: May 18 Prepared by: Ahmed shahrany, Project Manager, [email protected]
Project Summary and Justification:

The budget for the project is $140,000. It is important to focus on the system paying for itself within one year of its completion.

Security: The intranet site must provide several levels of security. All internal employees will have access to the entire intranet site when they enter their security information to access the main, corporate intranet. Part of the intranet will be available to the public from the corporate Web site. Other portions of the intranet will be available to current clients based on verification with the current client database. Other portions of the intranet will be available after negotiating a fee or entering a fixed payment using pre-authorized payment methods.

9. User Requests feature: The intranet site will include an application to receive and process requests from users.
Project Success Criteria: Our goal is to complete this project within six months for no more than $140,000. The project sponsor, Fahd Alshahrany, has emphasized the importance of the project paying for itself within one year after the intranet site is complete. To meet this financial goal, the intranet site must have strong user inputs. We must also develop a method for capturing the benefits while the intranet site is being developed and tested, and after it is rolled out. If the project takes a little longer to complete or costs a little more than planned, the firm will still view it as a success if it has a good payback and helps promote the firm’s image as an excellent consulting organization.
