The availability of capital resources is equally important. As mentioned, the current health care system— including the emergency, acute, and chronic care components—are all operating at maximal capacity. However, EMS vehicles, ED and hospital beds, and operating rooms will be needed in differing levels based on the incident (Auf der Heide, 2006 Pesik et al., 2001). For the EMS system, planners must know and address mutual aid issues. In upstate New York, Rural Metro Medical Services provides EMS in many cities and has a plan to shift resources between cities in event of crisis. Thus, additional ambulances, communications equipment, and maintenance facilities can be deployed throughout the region. In other areas, mutual aid compacts must be in place to allow for the immediate recruitment of as many additional EMS units as are needed (Auf der Heide, 2006). 

The results of the reviewed studies show timing to hatching is an important switch point that shows adaptive plasticity in response to environmental factors that cause egg hatching or mortality (Sih and Moore, 1993). Under the risk of threat animals can shift resources to alter their time of hatching to enhance survival. Although the majority of...

Under our approach such a move would be approved of since it would improve the aggregate level of well-being-and that is all that is of relevance.
