Study Notes
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
- Misconduct in disaster relief efforts:
- Buying, selling, or diverting relief goods
- Forcibly seizing or misdelivering aid commodities
- Repacking or substituting relief goods
- Illegal solicitations or using false data
- Tampering with or stealing hazard monitoring equipment
Early Warning System (EWS)
- Ultimate goal: protect and save lives, properties, and livelihoods
- Warnings are given to inform communities about hazards and direct them on what to do
Tropical Cyclone Categories, Earthquake Alert, and Volcano Alert Levels
- Magnitude: measures earthquake size, remains unchanged with distance
- Intensity: describes the degree of shaking caused by an earthquake at a given place
- Tropical cyclone categories, earthquake alert, and volcano alert levels are used to classify and respond to natural disasters
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
- When not to start CPR:
- Valid DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order
- Obvious signs of death (rigor mortis, decapitation, decomposition)
- When to STOP CPR:
- Spontaneous signs of circulation
- Turned over to medical services or properly trained personnel
- Operator is exhausted
Disaster Response and Management
- Elements of hazard analysis:
- Hazard mapping
- Vulnerability analysis
- Disaster prevention measures:
- Prevention or removal of hazards
- Movement/relocation of at-risk populations
- Public awareness campaigns
- Establishment of early warning systems
- Performance of disaster drills and table-top exercises
- Identification of education and training needs for all nurses
During the Disaster
