Decisions in Paradise Kava has had many disasters making it financially instable, The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is here to help with some of these issues and make a strong presence in the communities to assist with the economic failures that they have endured and the poverty that has battered the community. The disasters that have happened here not only affect Kava but also affects the United States as it affects import and export, disaster relief, fuel, and medical aide. Kava’s issues are immense and severe, we will develop a plan that defines the issues of Kava, we will choose a path, act upon the decision, evaluate the situation and then present to the stakeholders who will be influenced and formulate a plan of action. Kava has a large population of minor children, over 50% of the population in Kava are under the age of 15 years old. With so many minor children there can be many problems that this community would have to face, such as not having the ability to feed and clothe, or the ability to provide needed medical care, many children may have to work in labor intensive jobs. Another issue is the storms that this community has, with the threat of tidal waves/ tsunami’s, Typhoons/Hurricanes, Tornados, floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes the community needs a developed plan for preparedness, and evacuation plans. Medical issues such as HIV/AIDS and the avian flu require education and preventative maintenance. The fear of terrorism from both within and outside of this country is a threat that not only affects the citizens of Kava but also other countries around the world. If a terrorist attack happens then the export of items will stop therefore affecting the price point of fuel, natural gas, and food products causing an increase of price to the consumers.

To find the causes of the problems of this country we will start by asking a series of questions such as is the environment the problem, are materials available, is money an issue, or is manpower the problem (Langdon, 2001). While most may believe that the country of Kava is the only area affected by the problems presented this is not the case. The stakeholders involved are the government of Kava, the adults and children whom live there, and countries that receive goods from or send goods to Kava. The destruction of the economy in Kava could result in devastating their import and export of goods to countries all over the world and the necessity to prevent illness from spreading outside of Kava, while educating the citizens of Kava of how to prevent illness from spreading in their country. The Department of Social and Health Services will identify the issues and use the data that has been presented to study what issues are most critical to the economic growth of Kava. While the economic growth is the main idea that we want to deal with there are other issues that have presented themselves in the identifying process, such as illness and disease. Once this process has been completed all the information will be evaluated to see what is relevant or insufficient. Once the data has been processed then a plan is going to be developed (Blackboard Academic Suite, 2011). DSHS will provide educational classes of how to prevent the spread of illness and disease from one person to another, for those who are not able to attend the classes we will send individuals into the schools to teach the children present, we will also provide classes with the help of religious organizations in the area. We will also print publications in all languages of the area so that people who are not able to attend the classes will understand the necessity of protection. We will also set up a division to help with cleanup from disasters that this country has had to endure, DSHS will find funding by accepting donations from other countries and private agencies who have manpower to assist in the cleaning up process. We will arrange transportation of the people who will volunteer in these efforts by asking cruise lines to donate ships and airlines who will take donated frequent flyer miles. Next we will set up a course of action for the sale of goods to countries who are not receiving products from Kava, this will benefit the economic growth of the country, by exporting more items such as food products and fuel. Finally we will set up peace talks to try and stop both terrorism within and outside of the country, finding ways to communicate the needs of all involved with Kava (Malone, Crowston, Lee, Pentland, Dellarocas, Wyner, Quimby, Osborn, Bernstein, Herman, Klein, & O'Donnell, 1999). While there are many ideas of how to help this country, the goal of our agency is to find the most affective path that will assist in helping the economic devastation of Kava by making them a stronger more self-supportive country.
