Disaster management is how we deal with the human, material, economic or environmental impacts of said disaster, it is the process of how we “prepare for, respond to and learn from the effects of major failures”. Though often caused by nature, disasters can have human origins.
The disaster nursing is very important topic for staff nurse those who are posted in disaster area. the nursing staff is play important role in disaster management. these presentation is healp full for nursing role, taging, and how to management at the time of disaster.
Background: The frequency and intensity of both natural and man-made disasters have increased substantially over the past few decades. Consequences include great suffering, massive mortality, enormous economic losses, environmental damage and lasting psychological disorders of the survivors. For this reason, community members and government agencies have high expectations regarding the quality of medical care provided during a disaster response. Disaster medicine covers all aspects of disaster response including: disaster management systems, triage, epidemiology and infectious diseases prevention and psychological management.
Objective: This study aims to asses familiarity of students of the University of Medicine/ Faculty of Technical Medical sciences with disaster medicine concepts, evaluate training needs and define the preferred teaching method. It is a cross-sectional study of 100 students selected at random. A self administered structured questionnaire was distributed to the students containing questions regarding triage categories, first aid steps, trauma treatment, biological and chemical weapons, procedures to follow in specific disasters and preferred learning method.
disaster management notes consist of various knowledge and quality content Emergency management or disaster management is the managerial function charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters.[1] Emergency management, despite its name, does not actually focus on the management of emergencies, which can be understood as minor events with limited impacts and are managed through the day-to-day functions of a community. Instead, emergency management focuses on the management of disasters, which are events that produce more impacts than a community can handle on its own.[2] The management of disasters tends to require some combination of activity from individuals and households, organizations, local, and/or higher levels of government. Although many different terminologies exist globally, the activities of emergency management can be generally categorized into preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery, although other terms such as disaster risk reduction and prevention are also common. The outcome of emergency management is to prevent disasters and where this is not possible, to reduce their harmful impacts.
Emergency planning ideals
Emergency planning aims to prevent emergencies from occurring, and failing that, initiates an efficient action plan to mitigate the results and effects of any emergencies. The development of emergency plans is a cyclical process, common to many risk management disciplines, such as business continuity and security risk management, wherein recognition or identification of risks[3] as well as ranking or evaluation of risks[4] are important to prepare. There are a number of guidelines and publications regarding emergency planning, published by professional organizations such as ASIS, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM).[5]
A team of emergency responders performs a training scenario involving anthrax.
Emergency management plans and procedures should include the identification of appropriately trained staff members responsible for decision-making when an emergency occurs. Training plans should include internal people, contractors and civil protection partners, and should state the nature and frequency of training and testing. Testing a plan's effectiveness should occur regularly; in instances where several businesses or organisations occupy the same space, joint emergency plans, formally agreed to by all parties, should be put into place. Drills and exercises in preparation for foreseeable hazards are often held, with the participation of the services that will be involved in handling the emergency, and people who will be affected. Drills are held to prepare for the hazards of fires, tornados, lockdown for protection, earthquakes and others.

MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

18. Early warning systems
The purpose of early warning systems is to
detect, forecast, and when necessary, issue
alerts related to impending hazard events.
Early warning information comes from a number
of sources: e.g. meteorological offices; Ministries
of Health (for example, disease outbreaks) and
Agriculture (for example, crop forecasts); local
and indigenous sources; media sources and
increasingly from Internet early warning services

Personal Disaster Preparedness: An
Integrative Review of the Literature
Kohn S, Eaton JL, Feroz S,
Bainbridge AA, Hoolachan J, Barnett
DJ
10/13/1553
54. Abstract
Experts generally agree that individuals will
require partial or complete self-sufficiency for at
least the first 72 hours following a disaster. In
the face of pervasive environmental and
weather hazards, emerging biological threats,
and growing population densities in urban
areas, personal preparedness is critical.
However, disaster planners and policymakers
require further information to create meaningful
improvements to this aspect of disaster
preparedness.
10/13/1554
55. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
. A systematic review of the literature
was conducted to determine the state
of evidence concerning personal
disaster preparedness. The purpose
of this integrative review is to describe
and analyze the professional literature
as an intended basis for advancing
the field of disaster management
research and practice
10/13/1555
56. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Included in the review were 36 studies that met
the predetermined inclusion criteria. The current
evidence indicates that factors influencing
preparedness attitudes and behaviors are
complex and multifaceted, including
demographic characteristics, trust in
government efforts, previous exposure to a
disaster, and number of dependents in a
household. Furthermore, certain population
groups, households, and individuals have
different disaster preparedness needs and
vulnerabilities. This constellation of findings has
significant implications for community and
national emergency planning and policymaking.
