Local protective measure planning equips first responders with the knowledge needed to organize efficient response results in the event of an emergency. Structured open dialogue between local emergency jurisdictions enables responders to delegate the appropriate individuals and equipment resources to the impacted local areas requiring the most aid following a terror event. By establishing a streamlined communication framework, local emergency responders can collaborate their efforts and resources to promote collective well-being. When a local emergency plan specifies what responders and resources belong where and at what time, response overlap and shortages can be avoided. Unionized response action established prior to a terrorist incident, serves to mitigate the risks, hazards and threat of injury or harm the people and property of the US face when a terrorism event occurs. Furthermore, a structured local emergency operations plan for a hazardous materials incident involving a terrorist is imperative to public health and safety, as the blueprint outlines protective measures the public can follow to minimize their exposure to dangerous substances. The people of a community affected by a terror event can be warned and notified of the event’s associated dangerous materials, which threaten their well-being, through a variety of methods such as warning sirens or horns, emergency alert systems, automated
In the event of an emergency, employees shall evacuate by means of the nearest available marked exit.
Hazardous materials can be important in everyday life when properly handled. However, when improperly handled, they can result in injury, death, and destruction as well as have lingering effects that may last for years to come. To address the risk of an uncontrolled hazardous materials release, there must be a coordinated effort to identify, locate, and quantify the hazardous materials in a particular location (Drexel University Safety & Health, 2001). Typically, industry and government agree that a hazardous materials incident is one where
Detailed responses have also been outlined for specific types of emergencies including but not limited to: fire, chemical spill, severe weather, bomb threat, power outage, etc.
If circumstances require, emergency medical services will be called. The school staff will respond as necessary until rescue
All locations on site must assess the potential emergencies hat could occur at their site or working environment, so that adequate planning can take place. Activities of neighbouring businesses or residential must also be taken into account as well as climatic conditions.
A hospital’s emergency room (ER) is typically the site for presentation of patients from a disaster or bioterrorism event. Nurses working in the ER setting are the first to treat these patients. Thus it is of great importance to have a plan in place that can effectively meet the unique needs of this type of situation. I am employed in the ER at Good Samaritan Hospital (GSH) in Vincennes, Indiana. Our ER has its own set criteria that fits into the overall disaster plan of the hospital. Since the ER is the primary intake location at GSH, I chose to evaluate our ER’s disaster plan.
To continue the evacuation process the police department will direct and lead the citizens that will travel on foot. With traveling on foot heavy firearms will be handled by the police in order to protect the citizens in case of an attack. With the firearms, some of the first aid kits and food rations will travel with those on foot in order to prevent as many stops or delays in time. To travel as quickly, effectively, and no casualties is the main goal. A scouting party will be above in a helicopter to see any infected that might have slipped our previous scouting.
