BACKGROUND One hundred ninety-four member nations turn to the World Health Organization (WHO) for guidance and assistance during disasters. Purposes of disaster communication include preventing panic, promoting appropriate health behaviors, coordinating response among stakeholders, advocating for affected populations, and mobilizing resources. METHODS A quality improvement project was underta...
OBJECTIVES When a soccer stadium stampede occurred in Zimbabwe on 9 July 2000, the hospital disaster (medical emergency) plan failed. This report describes the use of the audit technique to change the hospital's disaster preparedness. METHOD A literature review was done to establish international standards of best practice in major medical incident response. The hospital disaster plan (major ...
To help disaster response organizations improve the management of regional emergency assets and operations, we propose to interface an agent-based, discrete event simulator with a geographic information system and a rule base (describing standard policies and protocols for various disaster responses). The system architecture will enable modules to dynamically “talk” with each other by exchangin...
The International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, a United Nations program for the 1990s, focused attention on the increasing losses caused by natural hazards and promoted actions to reduce their impacts. During this period in the United States, disaster managers and other officials increased emphasis on mitigation relative to response and recovery, especially in programs of the Federal ...
he health and well-being of horses can be adversely affected during natural disasters such as severe storms, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, or earthquakes. Equine practitioners are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat injuries and stresses affecting horses during disasters and understand the logistics associated with rapid or planned evacuations of horses. Planning for disasters is o...
Disaster medical response has historically focused on the pre-hospital and initial treatment needs of casualties. In particular, the critical care component of many disaster response plans is incomplete. Equally important, routinely available critical care resources are almost always insufficient to respond to disasters that generate anything beyond a 'modest' casualty stream. Large-scale monet...
Background and Aim: The disasters and emergencies can pose major challenges to the health infrastructure. Hospitals are the main units for providing health services in response to disasters.

BACKGROUND As per the "Disaster Management Act, 2005" of India, it is mandatory for government hospitals in India to prepare a disaster plan. This study aimed to prepare a disaster manual of a 1 900 bed tertiary care hospital, in consultation and involvement of all concerned stakeholders. METHODS A committee of members from hospital administration, clinical, diagnostic and supportive departme...
The need for high quality and timely disaster research has been a topic of great discussion over the past several years. Recent high profile incidents have exposed gaps in knowledge about the health impacts of disasters or the benefits of specific interventions-such was the case with the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill and recent events associated with lead-contaminated drinking water in Flint, Michigan, a...
Information management in disaster situations is challenging, yet critical for efficient response and recovery. Today information flows are difficult to establish, partial, redundant, overly complex or insecure, besides the interoperability between heterogeneous organisations is limited. This paper presents a novel system architecture that enables combining of several communication technologies...
