An emergency causes a lot of problems affecting employees and their offices. The disaster can strike anyone and none can expect it to happen, it is not in our hands. Anywhere and anytime any thing can happen so; it is our duty to be ready for any situation to face. The main importance for any corporate office is protecting its workers, themselves and their business. For this to happen, each corporate office must have a good workout plan in case of emergency.

Recently we had an unexpected eruption of Eyjafjallajokull volcano of the Iceland which affected many people. The swine flu which affected so many people, so many had to miss their office unnecessarily for fear. The more we prepare the plan for emergency the better we will be able to protect ourselves. The more preparation the less we can minimize the confusion and panic when some disaster occurs. Huge impacts of disasters are faced by many corporate agencies and business.

The disaster management in some companies is provided beautifully understanding the needs of the employees. For example in a company a evaluation drill is conducted in many companies, some of the companies even have floor marshals who help the employees vacate the floor. Some companies even have workshops which are being conducted to act when some disaster occurs. Right plans and right organization of some exits will save much in case of some emergency disasters.

Baghdad saw different attacks in different place like south, north and west. The series of bombings were done by al Qaeda to show their potent force in Iraq. The failure in the recent weeks did not stop the al Qaeda to stop their attacks. The attack saw 135 people being wounded and at least 40 being killed in the triple blast.

The triple blast happened outside the textile factory in the Hillah which is situated in south of Baghdad. Another attack took when volunteers were trying to rescue the victims. The man named Muthana Khalid was the person who strapped the bomb around him and detonated himself. The bomb blast when the textile workers were leaving the factory around 1.30pm.

The two cars which exploded were placed outside the factory at a distance of 25 yards apart. The cars were been exploded by the help of a remote control says the report. The attack has been a single deadly attack and a targeted assault for the police and army. Many efforts are being provided by the Iraq and US despite the attacks are still happening.

Given the last four years turmoil history of Iraq, we can only expect more trouble this year too.

The government of Mexico has a new law which will fight crime by making people register their identities. Each and every individual is urged through radio and television about this. The government is asking to register by sending personnel details as a text message. The Thursday had a turn off as much as 30 million lines which were unregistered.

The Saturday is said to be the deadline for registration else some more may lose. The company America Movil which has the Mexico’s largest wireless connection. The overall sale of the America Movil may be affected due to this. The senators have been sent to extend the deadline of the Law is being done. The law is implemented so as to stop criminals for using cell phones for extortion and to avoid kidnappings.

The law has been implemented a year ago itself to safe guard people from Mexico. The wireless market as much as 71% is held by America Movil and surrounding Brazil, Chile and other countries. The rest of wireless communication is held by another company Spain’s Telefonica. The maintain voice is still done by Spain’s Telefonica short text messages and services despite of the law. Communists feel the law may be ineffective as other peoples identities can be used to register phones.

And it has been forced to get into military action inside Afghanistan and Iraq nearly eight years back and it continues to haunt them till now.
The head of US forces in Afghanistan had indicated few weeks back that the US and NATO forces are facing an imminent defeat in Afghanistan due to shortage of forces. That has now forced the US administration to approve another 30000 troops to Afghanistan.
The additional troops would definitely help the US and NATO troops in Afghanistan to fight out the terrorists with full force and eventually hand over the reigns to the local government.
The US forces are also responsible to train up and build the competencies of the Afghanistan military forces. That is going to be a herculean task for the US troops as there could be a strong nexus between the Afghan military and the terrorists in the future.
US cannot afford to take the risk of pulling out the troops from Afghanistan in the immediate future, as the Taliban forces are showing more resilience. Any cut back on US troops now could only lead to further strengthening of terrorist forces which US and the world cannot afford.

The Iranian regime had cut out from discussions with the west on nuclear plans , while it has been saying that the nuclear initiatives are only for peaceful purposes.
Now there are reports that it has tested out advanced nuclear equipments which can eventually help it in manufacturing nuclear war heads.
The US and the Western world are worried about this new development, given the track record of Iran in perpetrating Islamic militancy. Even Russia and China are now working closely with US and UK in bringing Iran to the negotiation table. Iran would be forced to come to the negotiation table and put all the nuclear activities under the International Atomic Agency monitoring, or else it could face further economic sanctions.
It is important to note that Iran is the only Middle East country which has not grown economically in the last decade due to the UN sanctions. Even then the Iranian regime does not seem to be interested in putting back the life of millions of Iranians into prosperity.
It is indeed sad to see that Iran imports over 50% of the Diesel and Petrol it needs from other countries, though it has the world's second largest gas reserves.
