RESIDENTS PREPAREDNESS LEVEL AGAINST EBOLA VIRUS DISEASE RESURGENNCE: A SURVE...Babatunde Olowookere
The world Health Organization (WHO) declared Nigeria and Liberia Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) free on 20th October 2014 and 9th May 2015 after no new cases were reported. However, a new confirmed case was reported on Monday 29th June 2015 in Liberia. This latest resurgence of EVD in Liberia is an indication of how difficult it is for Public Health authorities to eliminate a highly contagious viral disease.
The survey assessed the preparedness level against Ebola Virus Disease resurgence in three (3) Local Government Areas in Lagos State namely Ikeja, Agege and Mushin was conducted among 416 residents. Selection was focused on Lagos State due to the fact that it was once hit by an epidemic.
Physiologists can play an important role in disaster risk management, especially in preparedness and response. During preparedness, physiologists can help organize mock exercises to test first aid administration, resuscitation of casualties, and mass evacuation procedures. In the response phase, physiologists can provide immediate medical assistance to casualties by administering first aid, resuscitation, distributing relief materials like food and water, and providing medical oversight of transportation and shelters for evacuees with medical needs. Overall, physiologists can work with other healthcare providers and emergency personnel across all phases of disaster management to help reduce risks and save lives during and after disasters.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

such as First Aid, Nursing, Psychological support, disaster
response ,relief etc.
Professional Volunteers: are those with professional
qualification, such as Doctor, Nurse, Engineer, Accountant etc
They can participate in any part of Disaster Management
Cycle, namely Disaster Response, Recovery/ Rehabilitation,
Risk Reduction and Preparedness.

The UN General Assembly
defines Volunteerism as
“undertaken of free will, for the
general public good and where
monetary reward is not the
principal motivating factor”.

48. Policies that Support Volunteer
Integration in DM Nigeria
The National Disaster Management Framework stipulates that
the Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC)
should encourage NGOs, CBOs, FBOs and various
associations to develop an integrated and coordinated
community disaster preparedness, response and recovery
strategies. The strategies should entail amongst other things:
training and re-training on Basic First Aid skills;
creation of awareness on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
and Early Warning System (EWS); and
adoption of Disaster Management strategies to meet local
needs on the basis of good analysis and targeted plans.
