1 Introduction to Disaster Management National EMS Medical Director s Course and Practicum Conflict of Interest Disclosure NONE A conflict of interest exists when an individual is in a position to profit directly or indirectly through application of authority, influence, or knowledge in relation to the affairs of ABC. A conflict of interest also exists if a relative benefits or when the organization is adversely affected in any way. Objectives 1. Definitions 2. Types 3. Phases 4. National Organizations and Structure 5. a. Casualty Collection and Triage b. Prehospital Care c. Public health 1

2 Definitions Disaster A situation in which the severity of damage or the number of patients exceeds the ability to provide immediate management Any event that overwhelms the resources available at that time in a jurisdiction Catestrophic Event Disaster World Health Organization Definitions A sudden ecological phenomenon of sufficient magnitude to require external assistance Disrupts regional functions and activities Affects lives, property, health Definitions Disaster Results in loss of: Communication Transportation Infrastructure Adequate food and water Shelter Sanitary conditions Propagates: Disease Post-traumatic stress Prolonged suffering 2

3 Definitions Disaster Classification a. Open Occurs over a large geographic area and is usually natural in origin b. Closed Occurs within a small or confined area and is usually technologic, occurs without warning, and urban Definitions Disaster Classification 1. Etiology: Natural or Man-made 2. Location: Single or multiple sites 3. Occurrence: Single or multiple 4. Predictability: Expected, unexpected 5. Onset: Gradual, sudden 6. Duration: Brief, prolonged 7. Magnitude: Local, State, Federal resources Definitions Multiple Casualty Incident A situation with numerous patients that does not overwhelm the routine capacity of a system. Any event that causes a large number of individuals to become ill or injured. 3

8 Definitions Terrorism The unlawful use of force against persons or property to intimidate or coerce government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in the furtherance of political or social objectives 8

9 Definitions Weapons of Mass Destruction Nuclear, biological, or chemical materials, weapons, or devices deliberately used by terrorists that produce a nuclear yield or disseminates significant quantities of biological or chemical agent over a wide area for purposes of maiming or killing populations. Incendiary devices should also be included for completeness C B I R N Disaster Management 4 Phases of a Disaster: Mitigation Preparedness Response Recovery Disaster Management Mitigation Pre-event planning and actions which aim to lessen the effects of potential disaster Hazards Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) Tool Identifies direct and indirect effects of hazards Estimates and ranks the probability of occurrence and potential severity of various events Performed every 3 to 5 years Required for JCAHO accreditation 9

10 Disaster Management Mitigation Preparedness Actions taken before an emergency to prepare the organization for a response Examples: 1. Hospital Preparedness Program (ASPR) 2. Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) 3. Emergency System for the Advanced Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VIP) Elements: Planning Organizing Exercising Evaluating-Improving Disaster Management Mitigation Preparedness Response Activities to address the immediate and short-term effects of a disaster to save lives, protect property, and to meet basic needs Disaster Management Mitigation Preparedness Response Recovery Activities that occur following a response designed to help organizations and communities return to a pre-disaster lever of function 10

11 Disaster Management Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 5 Management of Domestic Incidents February 28, 2003 Policy To prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies, the United States Government shall establish a single, comprehensive approach to domestic incident management Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 5 With regard to domestic incidents, the United States Government treats crisis management and consequence management as a single, integrated function, rather than as two separate functions. The Secretary shall develop and implement a National Response Plan that shall integrate Federal Government domestic prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery plans into one all-discipline, all-hazards plan 11

12 National Response Framework Replaces National Response Plan (Dec. 2004; ammended May, 2006) Guide to how the Nation conducts all-hazards response Delineates the Nation s response: doctrine, responsibilities, and structure Guiding principals that enable all agencies to prepare for and provide a unified national response to disasters Establishes comprehensive national, all-hazards approach to domestic incident response National Response Framework Components Core document Emergency Support Functions (ESF) Support Annexes Incident Annexes Partner Guides Core document National Response Framework Guidelines for: National response Roles and responsibilities Response actions Response organizations Planning requirements to achieve an effective national response to any incident that occurs 12
