Study Notes
Risk Management Process
- The risk management process and its outcomes should be documented and reported through appropriate mechanisms.
- Recording and reporting aims to communicate risk management activities and outcomes across the organization, provide information for decision-making, improve risk management activities, and assist interaction with stakeholders.
Reporting
- Reporting is an integral part of the organization's governance and should enhance the quality of dialogue with stakeholders.
- Factors to consider for reporting include differing stakeholders and their specific information needs, cost, frequency, and timeliness of reporting, method of reporting, and relevance of information to organizational objectives and decision-making.
Strategic Disaster Risk Planning and Management
- Strategic Disaster Risk Planning and Management strives to assist in the design of a strategy by interpreting the disaster risk management needs, placing them in line with the strengths, core purpose, and competence of an organization and its workforce.
- Components of strategic planning include purpose and concepts of strategic planning, and concepts of DRM-DRR.
Risk Evaluation
- The outcome of risk evaluation should be recorded, communicated, and then validated at appropriate levels of the organization.
- Risk evaluation can lead to a decision to do nothing further, consider risk treatment options, undertake further analysis to better understand the risk, maintain existing controls, or reconsider objectives.
Risk Treatment
- The purpose of risk treatment is to select and implement options for addressing risk.
- Risk treatment involves an iterative process of formulating and selecting risk treatment options, planning and implementing risk treatment, assessing the effectiveness of that treatment, and deciding whether the remaining risk is acceptable.
Monitoring and Review
- The purpose of monitoring and review is to assure and improve the quality and effectiveness of process design, implementation, and outcomes.
- Monitoring and review should take place in all stages of the process, including planning, gathering and analyzing information, recording results, and providing feedback.
Emergency Response Framework (ERF)
- The ERF elaborates on the steps MOH will take between the initial alert of an event and its eventual emergency classification, including event verification and event risk assessment.
- The ERF describes MOH's internal grading process for emergencies, including the purpose of grading, the definitions of the various grades, the criteria for grading, and the steps to remove a grade.
- The ERF outlines MOH's performance Standards for emergency response-specific deliverables with timelines for completion.
- The ERF states the role of the MOH National Emergency Committee (NEC) during emergency response, particularly related to the optimal use of resources, the monitoring of the implementation of relevant procedures and policies, and the management of MOH internal and external communications.
Global Emergency Statistics
- Over the decade 2001–2010, an average of more than 700 natural and technological emergencies occurred globally every year, affecting approximately 270 million people and causing over 130,000 deaths annually.
- Risks to public health might be transmitted by people, goods, food, animals, and other vectors.
