Infographic:Cost of Catastrophe

Natural disasters seem to be occurring at an alarming rate.  Hurricanes, tornadoes, fires and droughts are just a few of the disasters that impact our world.  These events cause catastrophic damage and untold loss every year.  In the past decade, disasters have cost more than $3.4 trillion.  Emergency-management-degree.org has analyzed the financial impact of these disasters, along with how many businesses and families are prepared for an emergency.

The financial totals for disasters in 2012 are incredible.

It’s no surprise that the best way to avoid these types of disasters is to be prepared both at home and at work.  6 in 10 businesses have no emergency response plan, and 4 in 10 homes are also unprepared.  While 57% of Americans report having emergency supplies in their home, it’s important to have an emergency plan in place-no matter where you live.  This infographic also details the number or natural disasters, emergency and fire protection declarations by state since 1953.

Infographic: Is Someone Listening?

The latest shocker to the United States came just weeks ago, when Edward Snowden released classified information to major media outlets with details on how the NSA is collecting user data from sites millions of citizens access every day.  What may be more shocking, however, is that wiretapping and surveillance on domestic soil has been commonplace since the early 1900’s.  Securitydegreehub.com has created an infographic detailing the controversial history of wiretapping and surveillance.

 

Wiretapping has been around since the invention of the telephone-and the government has been listening ever since.  In 1928, the Supreme Court approved of wiretapping, along with using the recorded conversations as evidence.  In 1945 the government takes it a step further by receiving microfilm copies of every telegram that enters and leaves the country-known as project Shamrock.  In 1967, the Supreme Court overturned the 1945 ruling, and in 1968 a federal law restricts wiretapping.  Shortly after Watergate, the government shuts down the Shamrock project.

Infographic:The Life and Death of the U.S. Auto Industry

“Since the late 1800’s, the automobile has been an American staple in households.  From its debut with Henry Ford’s Model A, to next year’s Corvette-cars have always captured America’s attention.  But it’s not always been smooth seas for American automobile manufacturers.  Bizbrain.org has created a very informal infographic about the history of the automobile, entitled, “The Life, Death, (and Life) of the U.S. Auto Industry”.

1916 saw a huge change in America-the passing of the Federal Aid Road Act.  This act provided $75 million of Federal money in 50/50 matching funds to the states; up to 6% of the roads statewide over a 5 year period.  Less than one year later, every state would have a Highway Agency to assist in managing the funds. In 1924, Henry Ford debuted his family friendly Model-A vehicle, with a price tag of $260.  This price would be equivalent of around $10,000 today.
