Study Notes
Disaster Management
- Factors to consider in disaster management: weather patterns, geographic locations, public events and gatherings, age, condition, and location of the facility
Role of Nurse
- Conduct geological hazard survey and risk assessment
- Adopt laws to prevent and mitigate disasters
- Develop, distribute, test, and revise disaster plans
- Assist in preparing shelters and emergency aid stations
- Establish contact with other emergency service groups
Phases of Disaster Management
Warning
- Period from the first possible danger signal to the moment of impact
- Use satellite and networks for disaster prediction
- Activate disaster plan and establish emergency operations
Social and Physical Impact
- Phase when disaster strikes and people endure its effects
- Focus on holding on and coping with the disaster
Disaster Emergency
- Emergency response plan must provide resources and information to evaluate human and environmental health impacts
- Assess and reduce human exposures to contaminants
- Develop science-based strategies for remediation and rebuilding
Disaster Rescue
- Implementing phase of disaster management
- Focus on meeting basic needs of people until permanent solutions can be found
Types of Disasters
Natural Disasters
- Major adverse events resulting from natural processes of the earth (e.g., floods, earthquakes, tsunamis)
- Severity depends on affected population's ability to recover
Man-made/ Human Generated Disasters
- Disastrous events caused directly by human actions (e.g., building collapse, nuclear and chemical disasters)
Global Disasters
- Disasters caused by natural processes or human activity that affect human life and development (e.g., climate change)
Chemical Agents
- Chemical compounds synthesized artificially (e.g., nerve agents, tissue agents, lung irritants, vesicants, psychoincapacitants)
Technological Disasters
- Events caused by malfunction of technological structures or human error (e.g., building collapse, traffic accidents, fire)
Phases of Disaster
Pre-disaster
- Initial phase of disaster prior to occurrence
- Warning is given at the sign of first possible danger to a community
- Risk assessment evaluates the facility's vulnerability or propensity for disasters
