Taking the necessary steps to shield the community or a business from the devastating events that follow the emergence of a disastrous event is a recommendable action. The measures taken to protect the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), should be extensively evaluated before they are implemented. A Cost-Effective Analysis is one of the methods that can be used to gauge the suitability or the viability of a certain emergency response procedure (Boruch & Petrosino, 2010). The systematic review of this framework is more robust as it gauges the outcomes of a number of alternatives and their associated costs. The main objective of the review is to determine whether the expenses undergone during the process of implementing the selected emergency response method is justified by the outcome.
For instance, the cost of a plan to install bulletproof glasses in the university’s halls can be justified if there are no casualties during a mass shooting incident. This action will be judged to be worthwhile under the systematic review of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis as it will eliminate possible legal expenses. The Cost-Benefits Analysis is another format that can be used to examine the viability of the measures taken to safeguard UTGRV during disastrous events. The systematic review of this framework is narrower as compared to the previous model (Boruch & Petrosino, 2010). The main point of concern in this evaluation is the difference between the costs and the benefits of an emergency preparedness project.

If there is a positive difference, then the method is deemed to be suitable or not suitable when there is a negative difference. For instance, a plan to contract a cybersecurity firm to protect the personal information of students and faculty members at UTRGV can be deemed suitable if it reduces the potential legal costs to be suffered if personal information is leaked from the campus’ servers.
