I looked into some of the big fires in America's history as well as the emergency response for them. It is very saddening to see how poor the response was back then and how many lives were lost unnecessarily, but at least we have improved.

Emergency response is not addressed, but it could lead to more patients if illegal immigrants are more encouraged to seek advanced medical attention, and billing could be complicated, since it may be funded by the government.

The policy deals with Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD), which are defined as facilities with at least 16 beds, and focuses on diagnosing, treating, and caring for those with mental diseases. There are additional ways to determine whether a facility is an IMD. Once this determination is made, this policy aims to set limits on IMDs, as well as specify which services they should provide.

This program aims to aid the member states in preparing, testing, and improving emergency response for nuclear emergencies and radiological accidents.

I looked up how other countries and areas of the world fund emergency response, like ambulance agencies. I also looked to see in which countries these services are most developed. The last point I researched was the size of the area affected by Chernobyl and the population density of that area.
