The magnitude of the impact of a disaster is often proportional to the scale of government response required and paid for by taxpayers, said Adam Smith, a Noaa applied climatologist and the primary researcher for the analysis of $1bn disasters.
Each form also contained a number of items requiring a response required on a 5-point Likert scale, as previously described [ 23].
This number is critical in estimating the likely scale of response that might be required by public health authorities, giving a guide not only to the number of infectious people in the community at that point, but also an index for further onward transmission should responses be delayed.
No subliminal response required.
Most of the responses required a rating on a scale of 1-5 (1 being highly unsatisfactory and 5 being highly satisfactory).
We allow an emergency situation to deteriorate into an overwhelming disaster requiring a much larger scale of response.
Experiments and simulations demonstrate that this response requires large scale spatial redistribution of molecules directed by strong non-covalent interactions among them.
He underestimated the severity of the recession and therefore the scale of the response it required, and he clung too long to his vision of post-partisanship, even in the face of a radicalized opposition whose stated goal was his defeat.
Large-scale responses require teams coordinated by the federal government.
