KEY ORGANIZATIONS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT

HEALTH CARE COMMUNITY

NON-HEALTH CARE COMMUNITY

• HOSPITALS • FIRE FIGHTERS

• HEALTH PROFESSIONALS • POLICE

• PHARMACIES • GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

• RESCUE PERSONNEL • MEDIA

GOALS OF DISASTER NURSING• To meet the immediate basic survival needs

of populations affected by disaster.• To identify the potential for a secondary

disaster.• To correct inequalities in access to health

care or appropriate resources.• To empower survivors to participate in and

advocate for their own health and well-being.• To respect cultural, lingual and religious

diversity in individuals and families.• To promote the highest achievable quality of

life for survivors.

LESSONS TO BE LEARNT

1. Measures to be taken during earthquake:

• Take shelter under a desk, table, bed or doorway during earthquake.

• Shut off kitchen gas.• Heavy objects and glasses should be kept on lower

shelf.• Keep stock of drinking water, food and first-aid

arrangements.• Do not panic and run near buildings during an

earthquake.• Do not switch on any mains supply immediately after

an earthquake.

2. Measures to be taken during floods:

• If flooding begins in your area, go to higher ground immediately.

• While walking, do not attempt to cross flowing streams.• Never drive through flooded roadways.• Purchase a weather radio.• Stay away from power lines and electric wires.• Be alert for gas leaks.• Watch for animals especially snakes.

Natural disasterA natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, volcanic eruptions,earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience, or ability to recover.[1]

An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without vulnerable population.[2][3][4] In a vulnerable area, however, such as San Francisco, an earthquake can have disastrous consequences and leave lasting damage, requiring years to repair.In 2012, there were 905 natural disasters worldwide, 93% of which were weather-related disasters. Overall costs were US$170 billion and insured losses $70 billion. 2012 was a moderate year. 45% were meteorological (storms), 36% were hydrological (floods), 12% were climatological (heat waves, cold waves, droughts, wildfires) and 7% were geophysical events (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions). Between 1980 and 2011 geophysical events accounted for 14% of all natural catastrophes.
