Emergency Preparedness Case Study

Flood: to make sure there’s no contact with any electrical equipment. This could also cause the floor to be slippery.

When an emergency situation arises, it's essential that you are able to recognise it, as well as respond. Emergency situations such as fires are suddenly notice and quick recognition can be crucial. When aware of a fire, alert the nearest fire alarm and evacuate the building through the nearest fire exit. If you at any point in the school day hear the fire alarm. Everyone must immediately leave the building via their nearest fire exit (this is rehearsed often throughtout the year to make sure everyone is fully aware of what to do). If a child has an illness, then you must first speak to the child in question and become

If there is an accident carers should press the emergency alarms situated in every room this will bring instant assistance.

Happy Sunday , I hope this week started out great for you. I really like the way you address week one's questions. When working in large buildings, where there is only two way up , stairs or elevator, you are completely correct, you must come down. William, I did not think about it the way you did, making everyone feelings a part by add to the planning and assign responsibility will make them more receptacle to the evacuation training. Rehearsal drills are the best it allows you to see if a plan is working effectively, if you can't do it any certain time , their is time to make adjustments for improvements. I think the United State government has put more force on crisis situations since the 9/11 attack. Another crisis like

There are many different ways to get ready for a disastrous occurrence. Geography would be important in a case like this. Like, in the case of a zombie apocalypse, Yuko Caras said that he would try to understand the characteristics of the zombies. It would be useful to see what they can and can't do. You would want to know how fast, or slow they move, where they were at first, so you can estimate where they will be in the future, and the amount of space they take up. You would also want to know where natural resources are, and get to those natural resources, but only if they don't have zombies. It would be of importance to know your coordinates. You would want to know what the climate of where you are, where you are headed, and everything in between. Additionally, something that you would want to know is where the major rivers are.You would want to know the states that are boardering the state that you are in. Something else that would be of importance would be to do research on not only the zombies, but your surroundings. You would want to know where you libraries are so that you

During the crisis at Memorial, doctors and nurses had to find ways of quickly and efficiently moving ill patients when “the hurricane knocked out power and running water and sent the temperatures inside above 100 degrees” (Fink 1). If these nurses, doctors and staff were given an evacuation plan before the storm, they could have practiced it and would not have had to spontaneously make up a plan that no one was familiar with. During college students are always roaming campus and are vulnerable to terrible events happening, this real world situation at Memorial has definitely shown me that anything can happen and there should be plans arranged for each situation whether it is a snowstorm or a gunman on campus. Two main topics that popped up when I read Deadly Choices at Memorial were to always have a plan and work well in teams; if there ever were a shooter on campus, students should be aware and know of the safety plan and work together to make sure everyone was

The Emergency Response Plan was revised with newly created position of Director of Emergency Management as well as department, incorporation of emergency support functions and newly added emergency notification system protocols (VT, 2010). Modifications was made to the University-wide Safety and Security Policies. Major changes was made to the umbrella safety and security policy which was renamed from the Campus Security to University Safety and Security which provides oversight and coordination for all campus policies and committees responsible for safety and physical security (VT, 2010).

Escape Fire, having the forethought and intuitive capacity in a time of crisis to embark on a decision that logistically seems impossible. As such, the current healthcare system is in a period of crisis and changes must be made. Additionally, the health system needs the inherent capacity of logical, capable and intuitive healthcare leaders to identify a break in the emerging threat. If the healthcare system continues in the direction that it is traveling, devastating results are sure to occur. While considering the titling of the movie and this assignment it appeared oddly connected to a healthcare course. However, after viewing the film the urgency of the situation depicts a comparable circumstance that the firefighters experienced in a time of uncertainty and risk (Heineman, Froemke, & Scott, 2012).

Survival and disaster preparation are relevant in the stories in the novel. Several interviews, especially those from the United States, focus on policy changes designed to train the surviving Americans to fight the zombies and rebuild the country. For example, when cities were made to be as efficient as possible in order to fight the zombies, the art of using real places and locations to describe these disasters, or when the ultra-rich hide in their homes, which had been turned into fortified compounds, they were overwhelmed by others trying to get in, leading to mass slaughter. Throughout the novel, characters demonstrate the physical and mental requirements needed to survive a disaster. There were so many disasters that can be related to the outrageous earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions, etc. Zombie apocalypse can most likely be a reality through the spread a deadly virus. Brooks described the large amount of research needed to find optimal methods for fighting a worldwide zombie outbreak.

Once the decision to evacuate has been made, the AOD will contact the maintenance department, assign radios, and make the public address announcement. Additionally, the AOD will direct someone to call 9-911 to initiate assistance from the local emergency response groups like the fire department, special rescue team, law enforcement, and emergency medical services. All counselors and administrator shall report to the front desk with their radios to receive assignments from the AOD. Faculty and staff will respond by calmly leaving the classroom or lab area, taking with them any unsecured potential source of student information (laptop computer, attendance record, class list). As the last student leaves the area, close and lock the door to increase security and provide assurance the area has been evacuated. Using the evacuation routes posted in each room the Supervisor/Instructor, will lead the group under their control to the appropriate rally point outside the building (see “Map of Evacuation Rally Points and Associated Building Areas”). They will remain at their rally point until receiving further instructions from the AOD. Roll call should be performed at the rally point by each supervisor and instructor to determine if their group is accounted for. Any missing persons must

The topic of the undead coming back to life to feast on the living has been around since the first zombie movie White Zombies in 1932; however, just in the past few decades has the threat of a zombie apocalypse enter the realm of international politics. The threat of a zombie apocalypse is a very serious concern of the international communities. Many political scientists are not sure how the world leaders would be able to work together if this issue were ever to arise in the world today. In the book “Theories of International Politics and Zombies”, Drezner uses the threat of a zombie apocalypse to show how the different theories of international politics would eliminate the threat; however, are the living dead a real international concern or are they just a brilliant metaphor for something much greater that could happen to the world.

In some instances, COPs may find themselves in dangerous situations where there may be many casualties or situations that my demand that the medical staff needs to protect themselves as much as they need to protect their patients- the COPs. As much as evacuation is essential, there is need to provide adequate information through information sharing systems. This can be classified under their preventive role in a bid to approach the job in a proactive manner. Through this the COPs may have basic and fundamental knowledge of what to do in certain

Making an emergency action plan is really important to reduce the risk for and prevent injuries. When developing an emergency plan, one need to know and identify the types of emergencies when they occur, write safety guidelines and instructions that need to be followed in the event of an emergency. The steps to follow include signals to use in order to activate the safety plan when there is an emergency, the procedures for responding to the emergency, for calling 911 and giving direction to the EMS responder to the scene, and any follow-up actions that need to be taken. Identify safety equipment that is available and needed to respond to each type of emergency. After developing the emergency plan, one need to practice it in order to be familiar
