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.
