IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM. During the early stages of problem detection, the NMC will be able to tell which CLECs are affected by the catastrophe. Further analysis and/or first hand observation will determine if the disaster has affected CLEC equipment only, BellSouth equipment only or a combination. The initial restoration activity will be largely determined by the equipment that is affected. Once the nature of the disaster is determined and after verifying the cause of the problem, the NMC will initiate reroutes and/or transfers that are jointly agreed upon by the affected CLECs' Network Management Center and the BellSouth NMC. The type and percentage of controls used will depend upon available network capacity. Controls necessary to stabilize the situation will be invoked and the NMC will attempt to re-establish as much traffic as possible. For long-term outages, recovery efforts will be coordinated by the ECC. Traffic controls will continue to be applied by the NMC until facilities are re-established. As equipment is made available for service, the ECC will instruct the NMC to begin removing the controls and allow traffic to resume.
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM. Recent studies in have tried to identify various factors associated with child feces disposal practices. Factors that have been associated with safe child feces disposal include household wealth, mother’s education, any formal education received by the head of the household, latrine ownership, caregiver’s age, consistency of adult latrine use, presence of safe child feces management tools, presence of an improved latrine, number of children less than five years of age in the household (32,48–50). Studies in Peru and Burkina Faso suggest that these determinants are themselves influenced by complex networks of psychological and environmental factors such as perceptions of dirtiness, the desire to conform to societal norms, the type and availability of latrines, the presence of nearby hill or rubbish areas, the availability and affordability of resources such as nappies, wrappers or potties, and the availability of time resources for supervision, disposal and toilet etiquette training (51,52). These point to a need for more comprehensive understanding of the barriers to safe child feces disposal (49) to design and create targeted interventions (44). According to a JMP report over 54% households in India with improved sanitation still unsafely dispose their child’s feces and 24% of those with improved sanitation simply leave their children’s feces in open (32). Similar findings were observed by another study in rural Odisha after a combined household level piped water and sanitation intervention, which found that many households with access to a toilet did not practice safe child feces disposal
