While enhancing a disaster, the evaluation strategy, in terms of program response, allows different organization that can choose to respond or coordinate disasters in response to an emergency. Solid evaluations work to effective emergency management practices through certain methods using accuracy, validity and reliability. According to Ritchie, L. A., & MacDonald, W. (2010), failure

    The National response plan outlines four key actions the disaster coordinator should take. They are gaining and maintaining situational awareness, activate and deploy key resources and capabilities, coordinating response actions and demobilizing.

  • Difference Between Emergency Planning And Man-Made Disaster

    Both man-made and natural disasters are often devastating, resource draining and disruptive. Having a basic plan ready for these types of disaster events is key to the success of executing and implementing, as well as assessing the aftermath. There are many different ways to create an emergency operations plan (EOP) to encompass a natural and/or man-made disaster, including following the six stage planning process, collection of information, and identification of threats and hazards. The most important aspect of the US emergency management system in preparing for, mitigating, and responding to man-made and natural disasters is the creation, implementation and assessment of a community’s EOP.

    Good teamwork is important in a patient centred care. It is a team of health professionals who actively participate, cooperate, interact, communicate expertise, respect, trust and its main focus is to improve patient’s health (Miller, 2008, p.14). Also, the team includes the family of the client and the patient itself (Miller, 2008, p. 15). Therefore, all members have a role to play. For instance, in the nursing practice it involves health promotion and maintenance regarding patient’s health in order to decrease the impacts of negative outcomes (NMBA, 2010). Nevertheless, this can be maintained under the national competency standard (NMBA, 2010). Part of the national competency standard promotes professional responsibility, multidisciplinary approach, critical thinking and client care delivery (NMBA, 2010).

  • Emergency Management The American Experience Summary

    305 Words  | 1 Pages

    Claire B. Rubin’s second edition Emergency Management: The American Experience 1900-2010 is a wide ranging book that effectively breaks down over 100 years of America’s emergency response history. In the book, Rubin uses an array of previous emergencies and details local, state, and federal response efforts. In doing so, Rubin effectively portrays the ways in which the Federal Government has played an ever increasing role in emergency response. As Rubin states early in the book, the current mechanisms The United States has in place for emergency response and management have come into existence after many lessons learned from ineffectual response efforts in the past. These disasters, referred to as “focusing events” (p. 4), and they have

  • Emergency Department Case Study

    705 Words  | 2 Pages

    I believe that if you asked a group of people to list off issues regarding an emergency department then they would say long wait times throughout the process and being moved around to different areas of the emergency department. From what I have heard the long waits can be associated with waiting to get back to a room, waiting to see a nurse, waiting to see a doctor, waiting to go to radiology or lab, waiting on results, waiting to be discharged, or waiting to be admitted. All of these things in my opinion add up to one main problem, which is patient flow through an emergency department. In my opinion being able to have a controlled patient flow allows for improved wait times and decreased chaos for patients. So there are a few things

    Sometimes one phase of the emergency management tends to overlap of adjacent phase. The concept of “phases” has been used since the 1930’s to help describe, examine, and understand disasters and to help organize the practice of emergency management. In an article titled Reconsidering the Phases of Disaster, David Neal cites different examples of different researchers using five, six, seven, and up to eight phases long before the four phases became the standard. (Neal 1997) This acknowledges that critical activities frequently cover more than one phase, and the boundaries between phases are seldom precise. Most sources also emphasize that important interrelationships exist among all the ph...

  • Natural Disaster Essay

    ...f disaster management, prevention, and mitigation. The vulnerability of the public sector, and the lack of disaster management/ awareness is a result of poverty. Vulnerability is reduced by mitigation and preparation actions such as, evacuation plans, reliable roads in flood situations, shelters or other safe places to stay, access to food, and disclosure of these plans to the public sector. If they had access to better recovery and reconstruction plans, this too would reduce the magnitude of the aftermath. There is no such thing as "zero risk" but we can reduce the loss of life property, and increased poverty but this will require industrial, environmental, economic, legal and political involvement. Disaster management measures varies according to the types of threat, and the environments that it will effect., all this contributes to the reduction of vulnerability.

  • Disaster Preparedness is for Everyone

    1417 Words  | 3 Pages

    Of the four phases of emergency management, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery, perhaps the place that individuals can make the biggest difference in their own state of resiliency and survival of a disaster is in the preparedness phase. Being prepared before a disaster strikes makes sense yet many people fail to take even simple, precautionary steps to reduce the consequences of destruction and mayhem produced by natural events such as earthquakes, volcanos and tornados (see Paton et al, 2001, Mileti and Peek, 2002; Tierney, 1993, Tierney et al, 2001).
