    Study Notes

    Disaster Management Cycle: Mitigation

    • Mitigation aims to reduce disaster impact through protective and preventative actions.
    • Structural mitigation: Construction projects like dams, windbreaks, and hazard-resistant buildings.
    • Non-structural mitigation: Policies, practices, and awareness campaigns; examples include insurance, public education, and family emergency plans.
    • Nurse's role in mitigation: Identifying potential risks and hazards, assessing community vulnerability, developing response plans prioritizing at-risk groups, and collaborating with emergency teams. Nurses also manage stockpiles of essential medical supplies. Public education on preparedness and basic life-saving skills are key responsibilities.

    Disaster Management Cycle: Preparedness

    • Disaster preparedness involves advance actions to help communities respond to and cope with disaster aftermath.
    • Goals include reducing loss of life and livelihood.
    • Benefits: Reduced loss of life and property, minimized economic disruption, enhanced community resilience, improved response and recovery efficiency, and reduced stress and trauma.
    • Activities: Developing emergency plans, conducting training and drills, raising public awareness, managing resources, and fostering community engagement and collaboration.
    • Challenges: Limited resources, lack of public awareness, inadequate infrastructure and planning, and complacency.

    Disaster Management Cycle: Prevention

    • Disaster prevention focuses on avoiding or reducing disaster risk.
    • Strategies include: Risk assessment (identifying vulnerable areas and populations), urban planning to minimize risk, economic measures to build resilience, mitigation strategies (building codes, land-use planning), public awareness and education, early warning systems, relevant policies and regulations, and community engagement in planning.

    Disaster Management Cycle: Rehabilitation

    • Rehabilitation restores communities and environments after disasters.
    • Key activities include: Damage assessment, comprehensive planning (involving stakeholders), infrastructure rebuilding, housing solutions, economic recovery support, restoration of social services, environmental restoration, community involvement, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
    • Nurse's role in rehabilitation: Assessment and triage, clinical care, health education, support services, care coordination, training and leadership, community engagement, and monitoring and evaluation.

    Disaster Management Cycle: Response and Recovery

    • Response: Nurses' actions in reaction to patient needs; includes assessment, interventions (medication, treatments, life-saving measures), communication, advocacy, and emotional support.
    • Recovery: Nurses' physical, mental, and emotional healing process after stressful or traumatic events.
    • Nurse's role in patient recovery: Monitoring progress, administering medications/treatments, and ensuring ongoing care.
