Study Notes

Emergency Response and Disaster Management

Speed of emergency action relies on prior planning, regardless of emergency size, number of victims or type of disaster.
Evacuation and survival during emergencies depend on victims' self-help, prompt relief, and restoration of a controlled environment.

Evacuation and Temporary Shelters

Temporary shelter selection must consider protection from elements and availability of essential services like heat and light.
Natural disaster victims should receive 3 to 6 gallons of water daily for hydration.

Health and Safety Standards

Vaccination concerns post-floods focus on typhoid, while measles and HIV are not typically linked to flood emergencies.
To treat 1000 gallons of water for drinking, use 1 pint of household bleach, with chlorination as a reliable disinfection method.

Emergency Response Plans and Regulations

Nuclear power plant emergency plans must be tested biennially and intended to notify the public within a 15-minute radius, specifically 10 miles.
HAZWOPER requirements govern hazardous waste operations, mandating training of 40 hours for hazardous waste workers and proper labeling of site cleanup containers.

Air Monitoring and Safety Programs

Air monitoring at hazardous sites should be conducted by knowledgeable personnel to ensure correct selection of protective equipment and work practices.
Employers must provide medical surveillance programs for workers at hazardous waste sites and inform them about exposure risks from hazardous waste operations.

Emergency Equipment and Protocols

Essential emergency equipment prioritizes water, followed by food and first aid kits. Shelters should provide 30 sq. ft. per person for adequate spacing.
After disasters, drinking water sources should be treated as unsafe and food should be thoroughly cooked or avoided if possible.

Personal Protective Equipment and Procedures

Employers must provide protective equipment like gloves at no cost to workers in contamination risk areas, while hepatitis B vaccinations must be offered without charge.
Broken glassware in risk areas should only be cleaned using mechanical means to ensure worker safety.

General Precautions and Universal Precautions

Under "Universal Precautions," all blood and certain body fluids are considered potentially infectious, necessitating appropriate safety measures like PPE and routine handwashing.
Proper management practices must be followed for decontamination solvents, which should be disposed of correctly once cleanup operations are complete.
