Abstract:

AbstractIntroductionThe Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of community-based volunteer groups created in 2002 by the Office of the United States Surgeon General (Rockville, Maryland USA) to augment the nation’s ability to respond to medical and public health emergencies. However, there is little evidence-based literature available to guide hospitals on the optimal use of medical volunteers and hesitancy on the part of hospitals to use them.Hypothesis/ProblemThis study sought to determine how MRC volunteers can be used in hospital-based disasters through their participation in a full-scale exercise.MethodsA full-scale exercise was designed as a “Disaster Olympics,” in which the Emergency Medicine residents were divided into teams tasked with completing one of the following five challenges: victim decontamination, mass casualty/decontamination tent assembly, patient triage and registration during a disaster, point of distribution (POD) site set-up and operation, and infection control management. A surge of patients potentially exposed to avian influenza was the scenario created for the latter three challenges. Some MRC volunteers were assigned clinical roles. These roles included serving as members of the suit support team for victim decontamination, distributing medications at the POD, and managing infection control. Other MRC volunteers functioned as “victim evaluators,” who portrayed the potential avian influenza victims while simultaneously evaluating various aspects of the disaster response. The MRC volunteers provided feedback on their experience and evaluators provided feedback on the performance of the MRC volunteers using evaluation tools.ResultsTwenty-eight (90%) MRC volunteers reported that they worked well with the residents and hospital staff, felt the exercise was useful, and were assigned clearly defined roles. However, only 21 (67%) reported that their qualifications were assessed prior to role assignment. For those MRC members who functioned as “victim evaluators,” nine identified errors in aspects of the care they received and the disaster response. Of those who evaluated the MRC, nine (90%) felt that the MRC worked well with the residents and hospital staff. Ten (100%) of these evaluators recommended that MRC volunteers participate in future disaster exercises.ConclusionThrough use of a full-scale exercise, this study was able to identify roles for MRC volunteers in a hospital-based disaster. This study also found MRC volunteers to be uniquely qualified to serve as “victim evaluators” in a hospital-based disaster exercise.GistR, DanielP, GrockA, LinC, BryantC, KohlhoffS, RoblinP, ArquillaB.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction The Indo-Asia-Pacific region has the highest incidence of natural disasters world-wide. Since 2000, approximately 1.6 billion people in this region have been affected by earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis, typhoons, cyclones, and large-scale floods. The aftermath of disasters can quickly overwhelm available resources, resulting in loss of basic infrastructure, shelter, health care, food and water, and ultimately, loss of life. Over the last 12 years, US military forces have collaborated with countries throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific region to enhance disaster preparedness and management during shipboard global health engagement missions. Military health care personnel are integral in this effort and have planned subject-matter expert exchanges, multidisciplinary conferences, courses, and hyper realistic simulated military-to-military training exercises related to disaster preparedness. Military health care providers are essential not only to providing international education and training, but also to ensuring optimal readiness to respond to future disasters in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region and worldwide. The ability to effectively respond to disasters and collaborate with other nations promotes international stability. Yet, few studies have examined disaster preparedness among US military health care personnel. This study aimed to assess knowledge, skills, and preparedness for disaster management among US military health care personnel preparing to deploy on a global health engagement mission. Materials and Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional study utilizing the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET) examined self-reported perceptions of disaster preparedness among US military health care personnel preparing to deploy on a shipboard global health engagement mission. The DPET assessed perceived knowledge of disaster preparedness, disaster mitigation and response, and disaster recovery. Three hundred Hospital Corpsmen/Medics and officers in the Nurse Corps, Medical Corps, Medical Service Corps, and Dental Corps were invited to participate. One hundred fifty-four surveys were completed (response rate, 51%). Nineteen surveys were excluded from the analysis due to incomplete responses. Participants rated responses to 46 Likert items (scale of 1–6) and responded to 23 descriptive items. The study protocol was approved by the Naval Medical Center San Diego Institutional Review Board, protocol number NMCSD.2017.0061, in compliance with all applicable federal regulations governing the protection of human subject research. Results All item mean scores on each of the three DPET subscales resulted in moderate levels of perceived disaster preparedness among military healthcare personnel (disaster preparedness means ranged from 3.04 to 4.67, disaster response means ranged from 3.76 to 4.29, and disaster recovery means ranged from 3.47 to 4.29). The final regression model had 6 significant variables that predicted DPET scores: previous disaster drills (p = 0.00), experiencing a real disaster (p = 0.002), bioterrorism training (p = 0.02), education level (p = 0.025), years in specialty (p = 0.019), and previous global health engagement missions (p = 0.016), with R2 = 0.39, R2adj = 0.36, F (7, 127) = 12.04. Conclusions Disaster preparedness among military healthcare personnel could be improved to function optimally for future global health engagement missions. This study expands current understandings of disaster preparedness among US military health care providers and identifies ways to improve and enhance training.

AbstractObjectiveDespite the growing awareness that youth are not just passive victims of disaster but can contribute to a community’s disaster resilience, there have been limited efforts to formally engage youth in strengthening community resilience. The purpose of this brief report was to describe the development of a Youth Resilience Corps, or YRC (ie, a set of tools to engage young people in youth-led community resilience activities) and the findings from a small-scale pilot test.MethodsThe YRC was developed with input from a range of government and nongovernmental stakeholders. We conducted a pilot test with youth in Washington, DC, during summer 2014. Semi-structured focus groups with staff and youth surveys were used to obtain feedback on the YRC tools and to assess what participants learned.ResultsFocus groups and youth surveys suggested that the youth understood resilience concepts, and that most youth enjoyed and learned from the components.ConclusionsThe YRC represent an important first step toward engaging youth in building disaster resilience, rather than just focusing on this group as a vulnerable population in need of special attention.

Abstract:

AbstractThe International Council of Nurses (ICN; Geneva, Switzerland) and the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM; Madison, Wisconsin USA) joined together in 2014 to review the use of the ICN Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies. The existing ICN Framework (version 1.10; dated 2009) formed the starting point for this review. The key target audiences for this process were members of the disaster nursing community concerned with pre-service education for professional nursing and the continuing education of practicing professional nurses. To minimize risk in the disaster nursing practice, competencies have been identified as the foundation of evidence-based practice and standard development. A Steering Committee was established by the WADEM Nursing Section to discuss how to initiate a review of the ICN Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies. The Steering Committee then worked via email to develop a survey to send out to disaster/emergency groups that may have nurse members who work/respond in disasters. Thirty-five invitations were sent out with 20 responses (57%) received. Ninety-five percent of respondents knew of the ICN Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies, with the majority accessing these competencies via the Internet. The majority of those who responded said that they make use of the ICN Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies with the most common use being for educational purposes. Education was done at a local, national, and international level. The competencies were held in high esteem and valued by these organizations as the cornerstone of their disaster education, and also were used for the continued professional development of disaster nursing. However, respondents stated that five years on from their development, the competencies also should include the psychosocial elements of nurses caring for themselves and their colleagues. Additionally, further studies should explore if there are other areas related to the disaster nursing practice (in addition to psychosocial concerns) that may be missing or not fully developed. Finally, the authors of this report recommend that future research explore how the ICN Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies do or do not assist in maintaining best practices in this field and improve outcomes for victims of disaster.HuttonA, VeenemaTG, GebbieK.

Abstract:

Introduction:Civil emergencies occurring with little warning can quickly produce mass casualties. To develop an Emergency Department’s surge capacity, medical student involvement in the disaster response has been advocated. Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore is located in proximity to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and represents an untapped manpower resource. With appropriate training, medical students can be leveraged upon as ready and reasonably qualified manpower.Aim:This review provides a snapshot of the conceptualization and setting up of the Disaster Volunteer Corps (DVC) program. We discuss the overall strategy and benefits to stakeholders, emphasizing the close symbiotic relationship between academia and healthcare services.Methods:Duke-NUS medical students will be recruited to receive training from SGH emergency physicians. The frequency of training will be four times yearly, with ad hoc participation in disaster simulation exercises. A call-tree will be employed for DVC activation. The DVC curriculum includes disaster response principles, HAZMAT, crowd control, marshaling, logistics, psychological support, and basic first aid. Teaching methods include didactic lectures, case discussions, involvement in event medical cover, and participation in disaster simulation exercises and response planning.Results:To date, there are 10 medical students and four emergency physician faculty volunteers involved in the program. Support is provided by adjunct instructors from nursing, nuclear medicine, social work, and security, for training in decontamination, radiological disasters, psychological first aid, and crowd control measures respectively. Assessment by faculty will be conducted to ensure the quality of training and competency of skills.Discussion:The DVC provides a unique way of teaching medical students disaster medicine principles in a hands-on experiential format, while simultaneously enhancing the operational readiness of the hospital in times of disaster. This model of close collaboration between university educational and healthcare services provides a feasible model of structured volunteerism that could be replicated in other similar settings.

Abstract:

The theme of the seminar, panel discussion and open forum, organised by the EQC and the Insurance Council, was Natural Disaster: Finding, managing, and sharing people and information. Emphasis was placed on the recovery and reconstruction phases, beginning about 10 days after the disaster occurred. To provide a focus for discussion, the scenario chosen was the Great Wellington Earthquake, for which fairly detailed modelling has been done, most notably for the Wellington after the Quake Conference, 1995. (1) The seminar was, in fact, a follow-up to that conference, at which various recommendations for action had been made, such as: raising public awareness o f the recovery aspects of disasters; planning for rebuilding, restoration, or relocation in advance of the disaster occurring so that the stress of immediacy and its effects on decision making are reduced; ensuring that homeowners, the insurance and building industries, and owners of businesses and buildings have procedures in place to improve the effectiveness of efforts to restore normalcy to disaster-affected areas.(2) The seminar was attended by about 100 participants, representing the insurance industry, territorial local authorities, emergency management/civil defence organisations (both local and central), the building industry, the engineering industry and professional engineering societies, and research organisations.

Abstract:

This article discusses the networked forms of governance that have arisen as part of roll-out neo-liberal policies in Mumbai, India, focusing on the flood of 26 July 2005 and its aftermath. The municipal government's inaction during and after the flood is attributed to the decentralization of governance, as well as to cutbacks to public health and basic services in recent years. The rise of competitive urbanism as a part of roll-out neo-liberalism is analyzed as producing gaps in disaster management planning and implementation. The article concludes with a call for a refinanced state and a centralization of municipal bodies under a unified municipal council, seen as necessary to provide the professionalized services required during large-scale emergencies such as floods.

Abstract:

AbstractThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is a project-oriented agency with multiple national missions under its Civil Works program including navigation, hydropower, flood risk management, ecosystem restoration, water supply, regulatory authority for wetlands and U.S. waters, recreation, and disaster preparedness and response. The Corps ocean and coastal activities revolve around the design, construction, and maintenance of specific projects such as channel dredging, coastal protection, beach nourishment, and harbor construction, all requiring research, modeling, and observations. Several Corps activities contribute ocean observations to the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®) and have requirements for existing or planned IOOS observations. Collected observations include long-term coastal wave climate, water levels, and coastal mapping data information. These provide project-specific and regional data that are used to develop and verify numerical models which are extensively used in project design and to evaluate project costs, benefits, and associated risk. An overview of the Corps coastal activities, data collection, and modeling programs is provided along with information regarding how IOOS coastal and ocean data are being used by the Corps.

In order to improve the effectiveness of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) response to future international humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/DR) missions, an analysis of the demands created by such disasters as well as the capabilities of the USMC is necessary. This research focuses on the primary response organization within the USMC, the Marine expeditionary unit (MEU),and those resources available to the MEU to conduct HA/DR operations. Recent HA/DR events will be examined to determine how common demands were met by the USMC as well as any gaps that may exist that should be addressed to improve future effectiveness. In this research, we explore the capabilities of the USMC MEU that satisfy demands arising from natural disasters. We follow the humanitarian and military core competencies framework for studying the USMC capabilities to match the supply with the demand from certain past disasters. Compiling and analyzing data from multiple USMC publications, historical records of disasters, and the USMC response to those disasters we identify those capabilities provided by the USMC that are the most critical and unique with respect to the conduct of HA/DR missions. We have collected data for the 2007 cyclone on the southwest coast of Bangladesh, the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami. We selected these disasters due to their impact and the level of involvement of the USMC in relief operations.

Abstract:

Transformé en une ressource biomédicale au profit du soin d’autrui (sang, tissus, cellules, etc.) ou de la recherche (sujet d’essai clinique), le corps est aujourd’hui soumis aux enjeux de la globalisation du monde médical. Un tel constat ne vient pas remettre en cause toute approche fondée sur les droits de l’Homme, mais il oblige à les repenser différemment, en incluant l’ensemble des acteurs en cause. Les droits de l’Homme doivent alors adapter leur vocabulaire, sans compromettre les valeurs qui sous-tendent leur régime. La thèse soutenue vise ainsi à démontrer que les principes tant de la bioéthique que du régime traditionnel des droits de l’Homme ne sont pas suffisants pour permettre la protection des individus dans le contexte spécifique de la transformation du corps humain en ressource biomédicale. Il est alors nécessaire d’apprendre aux acteurs de la normalisation technique de la biomédecine et du marché de la santé à traduire le langage des droits de l’Homme dans leurs propres dialectes
Transformed into a biomedical resource for the benefit of the care of others (blood, tissues, cells, etc.) or research (clinical trial subject), the body is now subject to the challenges of the globalization of the medical world. Such finding won’t challenge all approach based on human rights, but it requires rethinking them differently, by including all stakeholders involved. Human rights must then adapt their vocabulary, without compromising their founding values. The thesis here developed aims to demonstrate that both the principles of bioethics and of human rights are not sufficient for the protection of individuals in the specific context of the transformation of the human body in biomedical resource. It is then necessary to teach all actors of the technical standardization of biomedicine and of health market to translate the language of human rights in their own dialects

Affected by the extreme climate, the government is facing complex types of disasters in Taiwan. The military has made disaster prevention a major task according to the "Disaster Prevention and Response Act". Under the guidance of various classes, the commanding mechanism, operational procedure, implementation practices and coordination with different departments of the army's rescue work have been effective gradually. The battalion level and the company level of military are both the front-line unit for disaster relief, and there are still many environmental restrictions when they executing the rescue tasks. The restrictions of the disaster scene will affect the implementation time. This study explores the use of modern technology to improve disaster prevention and response capabilities. Integrating the literature review, government information and personal armed forces experiences and also using the expert interview and Fuzzy Delphi Method, this research summarizes the indicators such as command organization and effectiveness, disaster environment information and the use of auxiliary tools. Successfully access to expert consensus and the importance of disaster prevention factors, using case review and research feedback,we conclude how to present the disaster situation effectively, and it could strengthen the effectiveness of disaster relief

Taiwan is located on the subtropical zone, surrounding the earthquake zones of the Pacific Ocean. Every year there are natural disasters such as typhoons, thunderstorms, drought, cold current earthquakes and other natural disaters hit striking Taiwan. Meanwhile, It’s prone to cause landslide and mudslide, which often cause traffic disruption and threaten people’s lives and property safety. In addition to climate and environment, Taiwan is facing the diverse, complex and high-risk disasters in recent years.Due to global environmental damage caused by extreme climate disasters derived,more destructive and comprehensive . Therefore, Ministry of National Defense is going to have the disaster prevention listed as one of the missions in particular. The essay is planned to implement three aspects of discussion, pointing to professional rescue forces expansion and increasing daily disaster prevention training hours ,enter into supporting agreements of associating training or plans with folk disaster-defending organizations and according to the missions, purchase proper equipment for rescuing disasters and compose the disaster-defending budget. It adopts document analysis. From reviewing the literature, exploring the types of disasters to be the role and orientation in supporting the military forces to prevent the disasters. Over the years, the effect for the Army corps of Engineers to prevent and relieve the disasters as a verification of the military forces in overall preparedness disaster prevention and relief. Then, in the past five years, the serious catastrophes our country had encountered were used to be the sample of the data collection in the study. From the content of the study, we can discuss whether the military forces do a good job in the disaster prevention and training for rescuing. The study offers some suggestions for modifying and mastering the courses. Therefore, via the research, we can find that the problem of adjusting staffs in the organization and training, planning training hours, composing the disaster-rescuing budget. Indeed, those problems will affect the entire disaster relief performance to be good orbad. Therefore, we hope that the conclusion of the study will be able to be a reference for enchancing the military forces in disaster preparedness and prevention.

In recent years, the natural disaster happens, the armed forces of R.O.C saves the victims of disasters as important as the mission on the combat. However, when most people pay attention to the victims, very few keep an eye on the soldiers who participating the rescue operation; so, the main purpose of this research is to figure out the mental condition and pressure on the rescue-mission soldiers, that to provide a support, which can really help when hazard occurred. At the same time, discusses the subjective experience and the restoration of the troops, finally, drafting a plan that to make the rescue operation better. The technique of this research is the questionnaire survey way, the questionnaire content divides into 3 major parts, 63 questions included. Except participant basic document, this research quotes pressure of event physical and moral integrity self-check table the Army. After carries on the questionnaire pretesting, in 2010/02/22~2009/03/31 provide official questionnaire. After the statistical exam, the conclusion are: 1.The different population variable(units and ages), the accident pressure impact has remarkable difference to the soldiers who’s on duty. 2.The different population variable(unit, branches of the armed forces, service, rank, ages, marital status and seniority) , the adaptation has remarkable difference to the soldiers who’s on duty. 3.The different duty(missions and working hours), the accident pressure impact has remarkable difference to the soldiers who’s on duty. 4.The different duty(missions and working hours), the adaptation has remarkable difference to the soldiers who’s on duty. 5.After the rescue mission, the pressure impact to the duty soldiers has remarkable forecasting effect. The results can not only be a reference to the Army that to rebuild the psychology and adaptation of the soldiers, who participating the rescue operation, but also make a report to the higher authorities, for make this work better.

Abstract:

This paper presents findings emerging from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program. The aim of I-Corps is to aid in transitioning academic research into commercialized technology. Through this program, the authors developed and tested hypotheses in search of a sustainable and scalable business model for a potential future company. An element of the rigorous I-Corps curriculum included 133 interviews with emergency manager practitioners from around the country to determine the root of their immediate problems. The unbiased feedback from the industry professionals determined the outcome of our hypotheses, while validating our proposed business model.

Abstract:

The Peace Corps was founded in 1961. The first problem faced was whether any country would ask for volunteers. To address this problem, Sargent Shriver, the first Peace Corps director, traveled early on to Africa to encourage requests and met Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere, who asked for engineers, and the second group of volunteers to arrive overseas landed in Tanzania in 1961. Tanzania became independent from Great Britain in 1961. The journey to independence, how it was governed in 1966 at the time of the Kinsey case, and relations between the United States and Tanzania are examined, with a discussion of the roles of Julius Nyerere, Paul Bomani, and Lady Marion Chesham. The case presents a potential international disaster for this country, still in its infancy, at a time when there are already strains over Nyerere’s “African socialism” and America’s role in the Congo.

Abstract:

This chapter brings US Marine Corps aviation into the modern age, using the intervention in Nicaragua in 1927 as a backdrop. The chapter provides background to the intervention, followed by a detailed examination of the transformation of Marine Corps aviation, including the introduction of modern aircraft, more fully developed tactics such as dive-bombing, and the innovative use of transportation aviation. Highlights include the rise of Augusto Sandino as insurgent leader, the first unassisted air attack on an enemy position, the maturation of air-ground operations, and the employment of Marine Corps aviation during Nicaraguan elections in 1928 and 1934, as well as disaster relief operations following a devastating earthquake in Managua in 1931.

Abstract:

Worries over the economy and wheat prices led to the formation of a new (previously unknown) executive policy committee operating in parallel with the War Council. During the fourth week of January 1915, the new Food Price committee met ahead of the War Council. In this forum, Asquith and his senior advisors were finally convinced of the severity of the wheat problem. They further decided that rather than introduce food rationing, it would be simpler to force the Dardanelles and open the path to Russian wheat—thereby not only lowering wheat prices but also permitting Russia to solve its financial problems by resuming wheat exports. At the subsequent War Council meeting of January 28, 1915, Asquith overruled the objections of Admiral John Fisher to the Dardanelles operation. A review of the concerns displayed by each voting member demonstrates that the majority favored attacking the Dardanelles for mainly economic reasons.

Abstract:

This epilogue highlights efforts to dissuade people from building or rebuilding in the vicinity of the Susquehanna River, as well as efforts to buy out private homes and businesses located in persistent flood zones. Changes in the policy toward the Susquehanna River began after the first decade of the twenty-first century. Following Tropical Storm Lee in 2011, neither the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nor the state of Pennsylvania showed interest in adding to or creating new flood walls along the Susquehanna River, the policy that had been preferred in the twentieth century. Instead, the state obtained grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which it used to purchase houses and businesses in the Wyoming Valley. Hundreds of people, tired of the perpetual flooding, sold their homes to the local government, which then cleared them off the floodplain and began to restore the river and floodplain to a natural state. The chapter then considers the even more radical idea of removing existing levees and dams along the Susquehanna.
