Emergency Preparations: Emergency Observation

First things first safety. To prepare for this disaster you must have a safe shelter to go to if your house is not stable. Churches, schools, or just any sturdy building are a few places that you could go. As you are safe inside one of these buildings you need to make a safe evacuation plan in case something goes wrong. You will need to know what roads to go down, what places you can stop at, what you need most is a safe place to go in case the building your is not sturdy enough. If you happen to be stuck at home during this board up your windows. I say this because it will prevent the wind from breaking the windows and allowing it to destroy the insides of your house.

According to http://www.ready.gov/business/implementation/emergency explains the steps that need to be taken and the importance of an emergency plan. “When an emergency occurs, the first priority is always life safety. The second priority is the stabilization of

Event Maps and this document will be placed throughout the event area at various locations.

The role of the emergency department is to diagnose and treat acute and urgent illnesses and injuries. Patients are seen in order of medical urgency. The emergency department bases the patients urgency for treatment based on levels. Level 1 is critical and life-threatening. This is usually related to ABC’s (Airway, Breathing, and Circulation). These patients are top priority and require a lifesaving intervention. Level 2 is also considered high priority and can also be life-threatening. Psychiatric patients are considered level 2, and patients arriving to the ED with chest pain. Level 3 patients require resources such as sutures, x-rays, CAT scans, MRI, etc. Level 3 patients are provided treatment services only after Level 1 and 2 have been addressed. The emergency department at CEMC also has a trauma room and a SANE room. The trauma room is equipped with life-saving medications (such as antidotes for drug overdose) and medical equipment. The SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) room consists of equipment used to assess a patient who has been sexually assaulted. The equipment takes pictures of the patient for the SANE nurse to later provide to law enforcement. A SANE nurse is a specialty nurse and CEMC has one on call 24/7.

The first officers arriving on the scene will remain and continue to provide law enforcement duties and assist at the direction of the incident commander. In the emergency response procedures the fundamental priorities for officers include

I would also go around and make sure there are no holes where unnecessarily large amounts of water would be able to enter the building By preparing in advance, I will only have to close my restaurant a few days before evacuation and still have enough time to finish the reinforcement. I would also purchase a generator to have in case there is a loss of power, which could mean a loss of hundreds of dollars’ worth of food. I do not have enough insurance to cover everything if it all is destroyed, so I will take the items that I am able to take out of the restaurant and warehouse with me when I evacuate. Thunderstorms are another large problem in the fall and spring. To help with this, I would also use many of the items I have for other disasters. I would have the generator ready to help in case there is a loss of power. I would also have heavy shutters on the windows to add protection in case of heavy winds or falling items during the thunderstorms, or also for protection against heavy winds that may occur in the spring. The

People who have lost everything and potential risk going hungry while grieving would need their basic needs meet first. For someone who has a home one day and then has nothing would need to have a stable place to lay their head down and keep their family safe. A community who has suffered a huge loss will need support getting back on track which would take time. This could increase ones emotional reactivity because they do not know what they are going to do in the time begin about their basic need. When someone’s basic needs are not met then their emotional suffering like PTSD, anxiety and depression can last longer. Once a person basic needs are met then they are start to work on their mental health concerns. One article pointed out that we need to take in account a

This includes development of written plans and procedures to ensure critical operations are maintained. Preparedness includes identification of essential supplies and actions, critical positions, specific roles, responsibilities, orders of succession and delegation of specific authorities, and communication. The most important aspect of emergency planning is for the safety of the staff during an emergency. One or more secure location should be identified for staff during an emergency. Communication methods must be identified and tested between locations. Mutual aid agreements and emergency aspects of vendor contracts should also be reviewed as part of this process. It is also very important to exercise all sections of your plan (PublicRescourceOrg,

As one of the most prominent petro chemical industrial centers in the state of Texas, located along the gulf coast makes La Porte a potential target for natural or man-made disasters.

Historically, the United States has been one of the few Western societies to be secluded from major international conflict within domestic borders. As terrorism, a problem that seems to be borderless, natural disasters, and unconventional warfare continue to rise the citizens of the United States have begun to see its effects firsthand. This devastation has prompted a change in management of incidents that is affecting the traditional roles that agencies play in response efforts to mitigate the situation. Agencies with major responsibilities to disaster response have begun to examine other Democratic Western Countries to discuss, as well as collaborate on possible improvements. One country that departments are creating collaborative

Life is full of unexpected disasters as well as calculated ones. As a whole, society cannot account for all disasters that will occur nor can we successful eliminate the results of these disasters. That’s why in most advanced societies there are people in place to manage and or monitor natural disasters. These people are in charge of the planning process and execution of emergency management systems or operations. They are essentially the people responsible for ensuring that when a disaster whether natural or acts of fate occur the effect on the community or society as whole is minimal. The emergency manager or planner is to follow a strategic planning process that encompasses a variety of aspects including but not limited to a

The purpose of the Emergency Preparedness Plan is to save lives and prevent injuries in case of emergencies such as nuclear attack, fire, natural disaster, civil disorder or other, and provide the necessary best practices to ensure all possible and relevant forms of communicating with our faculty, staff, students, and parents. Mrs. Patricia Harris of the International Studies Elementary Charter School was interviewed about the International Studies Elementary Charter School’s Emergency Management Plan and the role of the school counselor during emergencies. Surprisingly, the school counselor does not play as important of a role than one would have thought. Although, the counselor does serve as one of the Designated School Emergency Team Members, some the tasks that would seem likely the counselor would perform, are performed by other administrators. Tasks such as talking to parents or being there for the students are performed by the principal while the school counselor is delegated to direct traffic. Based on the Emergency Management Plan, it would seem that the school counselor’s role is still not clearly understood. With all the expertise that counselors can bring to a crisis situation, it’s disappointing that counselors are assigned such a miniscule task as delegating traffic. Counselor Harris did discuss the Dougherty County School System’s Crisis Team. That team is

The burden of emergency management has grown great deal in the last few decades. We have seen an increase in natural disasters, a new threat of terrorism on our front door and an increase in manmade disasters. All of these have tested emergency management in a number of cities and towns across the nation. It is not always disasters that present problems for emergency managers. We have to look beyond our traditional view of emergency management of helping us during times of disasters and view what issues they consider may affect their emergency response. Issues that emergency management see that are moving into the critical area are issues of urbanization and hazard exposure, the rising costs of disaster recovery, and low priority of emergency management.
