Unit II Project Community ISO Rating For this assignment, yo

Unit II Project Community ISO Rating For this assignment, you will research your community, and calculate a rating similar to ISO/PPC though NOT using an ISO/PPC rating scale. For this project, you will be using our own rating scale, which is found in the grid below. Emergency Communications System Fire Department Structure Water Supply System Community Efforts Risk Reduction 0 No emergency call center Non staffed No public water supply No programs or enforcement 1 Uses direct dial 7 or 10 digit number to reach either police or Staffed by first responders only for No public water supply; only dry wells or ponds, Annual fire prevention activities limited to schools only FIR 3303, Introduction to Fire Prevention 3 fire ; i.e. 222-1212 or 222-2323 or 901-222-1212 or 901-222-2323 EMS calls; stations are not open 24/7 lakes, and streams for publishing 2 County 911 system non Enhanced system; separate police & fire dispatching Staffed by part-time paid-per-call EMS personnel only; one station open 24/7 Municipal fresh water treatment; no hydrants Annual fire prevention activities limited to schools and senior centers 3 County E-911 (Enhanced) system with central police & fire dispatching Staffed by full-time paid EMS personnel only; only one station open 24/7 Municipal fresh water treatment; hydrants spaced greater than 1,000 feet apart Annual fire prevention activities and daily fire inspections of high risk occupancies 4 Municipal 911 system; non Enhanced system; separate police & fire dispatching Staffed by full-time paid EMS and fire suppression personnel; limited number of stations 24/7 Municipal fresh water treatment; fire hydrants spaced greater than 500 feet apart Annual fire prevention and public fire safety programs for all audiences 5 Municipal E-911 (Enhance) system with central call intake center with central dispatch or police and fire dispatch on own after E-911 call is received Staffed by full-time paid EMS and fire suppression personnel; stations positioned Municipal fresh water treatment; fire hydrants spaced 500 or less apart; total community coverage Staffed full-time Fire Prevention Division; annual fire prevention activities; fire inspections; fire investigations & code enforcements For this project, you will conduct an ISO/PPC like analysis of your community. Using a five-point rating scale where 0 is the worst and 5 is the best, analyze and rate your communitys ability to address the four components used by ISO/PPC in its rating system. Keep in mind that this rating is similar to, but not the same as, the ISO/PPC rating scale. Primary differences include: this scale is backwards in that 0 = worst and 5 = best, and greater details are not included in each of the four categories. Using the rating-scale grid from above, analyze your own communitys fire service capabilities. If you are a fire service employee, you will most likely know how your community operates and what services (emergency communications, fire department structure, water supply, and risk reduction) are in place. If you are non-fire service employee, you will most likely be able to assess two categories, emergency communications and water supply, by simply knowing your emergency call system and seeing fire hydrants on the streets. For the two remaining categories, you will need to call your local fire department and speak to a firefighter, or fire officer, who should be pleased to answer your questions. You could also, time permitting, take a trip to the fire department and ask for a tour for answers to your questions. To finish the project, you will need to construct a grid similar to the one above, or identify each of the four categories with their corresponding numerical rating number. Once you have analyzed your community and composed your numbering system, write a brief paragraph for each of the four categories that supports your number selection for each category. There is no right or wrong response here, as every student may have a differently constructed community. Your final paper should be written in proper APA format, and include citations for sources as needed. You must have a title page, double-spaced, with only the following information written in the center: title of paper, your name, and university name. No reference page is required, no abstract is required, and no headers are required. The finished paper should be a minimum of three pages of written grid/graph and narration; however, not more than four pages in length. This page requirement does not include your cover page. Information about accessing the Blackboard Grading Rubric for this assignment is provided below.

Students earn up to two (2) extra points toward their total

Students earn up to two (2) extra points toward their total grade of this class by submitting their own 3D scanning project by 11:59 pm, May 1, 2017 (no late work accepted) . The scanned object could be an artwork (even a building, or part of it) of any form, material, period, size, and origin. To earn the 2-point extra credit, the student has to 1) Take photographs of the object of your choice. Ideally, you should take pictures from as many different angles as possible to capture the images of all surfaces of the object. The images should overlap a lot, and each should include the entire object (i.e. no zoom-ins). Also pay attention to: a) Lighting. Never use flash. Avoid direct sunlight, but shoot where there is constant ambient light to illuminate all parts of the object. b) The number of pictures you take. The more images, the more detailed the model; but a larger image group also means more time for the computer to process it. Here is a helpful article detailing all the steps from taking photos to publishing the model: How I create my 3D scans with Autodesk Recap360 2) Generate the digital model. I use Autodesk ReMake for this purpose (Recap360 is another choice). You can download and install it for free if you register using your @pitt.edu account. After installation is complete, you simply upload the image group to the server and it will generate the model for you. In most cases, the model will need some cropping and other modifications. You could learn the basics of how that can be done by watching the tutorials on the official website . 3) Publish your model on Sketchfab (or any 3D viewing platform of your choice). Export your model as an .obj file and upload the zipped file (including the .obj, .mtl, and .jpg files) onto Sketchfab (a Pro account is free if you register using your @pitt.edu account). While you upload, make sure you provide a title and a brief description of the object; you could also make the model downloadable so that viewers would be able to download and print it. You need to adjust the 3D settings before final publishing. Several things to be adjusted include background color/image, lighting, and orientation. Provide at least three annotations in order to earn the extra credit. 4) Email me the Sketchfab link to your model (a link will be generated automatically if you click on share).
