The document discusses disaster preparedness and response. It provides an overview of the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), including its deployable teams like Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs) and Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Teams (DMORTs). It also reviews the Incident Command System (ICS) structure and key roles within operations, planning, and logistics sections that would be activated during a response. Finally, it discusses radio communications protocols and logistical considerations for deploying medical resources like supplies, facilities, food, and communications equipment to support response operations.
This briefing from the Air Force Medical Service is directly applicable to civilian and military communities who need to be prepared for managing medical trauma scenarios. This presentation focuses on integrated trauma management systems.
Draft Emergency Management Final Rule Standards Revision Lindsey P. Anthony
The following report contains draft changes to the accreditation requirements related
to emergency management. These changes resulted from The Joint Commission’s
alignment with The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)’s Final Rule on
Emergency Preparedness (Federal Register Vol. 81, No. 180). The rule became
effective on November 15, 2016 and will be implemented on November 15, 2017.
The report includes new elements of performance (EPs) in bold type; underlining is
used to show changes to existing EPs. However, it is important to note that these are
DRAFT requirements and are under review and subject to changes.
A disaster is a natural or man-made hazard resulting to physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the natural environment
Disaster Risk Management is a broad range of activities (as opposed to disaster management) designed to prevent the loss of lives, minimize human suffering, inform the public and authorities of risk, minimize property damage and economic loss, and speed up the recovery process
The primary objective of this research is to develop a self-organizing communication model for disaster risk management. The model should be able to provide improved communication services between individuals (or groups) during disasters. The model should be able to offer reduced latency, interruptions, and failures in communication

"Certainly going back to Sherlock Holmes we have a tradition of forensic science featured in detective stories.”- Jeffrey Deaver.
With time, forensic dentistry have come along, shaking hands with forensic science and gradually taking an important position in the field of forensic science.
Forensic odontology is the branch of dentistry which, in the interest of justice, deals with the proper handling and examination of dental evidence, and with the proper evaluation and presentation of dental findings. Forensic odontologists delve into: identifying unknown human remains, victim’s identification in mass disaster, electing the picture of life style and diet of skeletal remains at forensic and archaeological sites, assessing sex of skeletal remains, age estimation of both living and deceased, analysis and identification of bite marks at crime scenes.
It is the branch of science that applies dental knowledge in civil and criminal investigations. Along with other healthcare providers, dentists encounter cases of injuries which could be non-accidental. Detection, interpretation and management are important from a legal and humanitarian point of view. Dentists should be aware of the legal impact those cases have, and should refer them to the appropriate authorities for suitable action.
Today we consider forensic odontology to be a specialised and reliable method of identification of the deceased, particularly in multiple fatality incidents. Forensic Odontology has established itself as an important, often indispensable, in medicolegal cases, in particular for identification of the dead.
DISASTER VICTIM IDENTIFICATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Lack of (or incomplete) human identification procedures infringe upon a range of human rights embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and set out in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (arts. 2, 6 and 7) as well as regional instruments, including the European Convention on Human Rights. Unidentified bodies may involve violations of various civil and cultural rights of the families waiting for news of their missing relatives during a disaster. To achieve and maximize effectiveness of the identification process, the implementation of an international database, not only for DNA and fingerprinting, but also for dental (odontogram and periapical x-ray images) data is needed.
This suggests the importance of promoting international co-operation between organizations involved in human identification, and quality control among forensic experts and police agencies. It should be clear to all those involved in DVI process that an incomplete post mortem assessment - which may lead to a delayed identification - represents a violation of human rights and international humanitarian law because “once the fate of a missing person has been determined to be death, all available means must be undertaken to ensure recovery of the body and any personal effect”.
Forensic science becomes also a tool for humanitarian action, to help ensure that unidentified bodies receive appropriate burial rites and psychological suffering of the next of kin is reduces by arriving without any delay to a positive identification applying Interpol DVI standards.

Week 7 Mock Incident Response
The Incident Command System (ICS) is an important part of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). It provides a standardized template for managing emergency and disaster incidents across the United States that is adjustable and can be expanded to meet the specific needs of the situation at hand. ICS allows for the integration and coordination of various responding agencies in the interest of making the best use of available resources, including agencies from different jurisdictions. In order for ICS to be effective, regular exercises and mock disaster scenarios should be practiced, familiarizing responders with both the system and each other. This paper is a mock incident response that will discuss the 5 ICS functional areas and specific responsibilities for each area pertaining to the specific mock disaster.
Scenario
On June 15, 2014, an explosion occurred at the Daugherty Elementary School located just south of downtown Garland, TX. Initial reports indicate that it was caused by a gas leak in the northern hallway. A fire started that is spreading through the classrooms along the east side of the building, there is structural damage to the outside north courtyard wall, and numerous windows blew out as a result of the explosion. Injuries to some children and staff have been reported, and not all children have been accounted for in the original evacuation. Current enrollment is 412 (School Characteristics and Membership, 2014).
ICS Functional Areas
There are 5 functional areas that are defined for use in ICS. These are Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration (Deal, Bettencourt, Deal, Merrick, & Mills, 2010). Each area has specific responsibilities in order for responses to be handled in a standardized way without duplication of effort or some tasks not getting done because someone thought someone else was doing it. Each emergency or disaster is different, and most of the routine incidents encountered will not require that the full complement of functional areas be activated. In the case of the Daugherty Elementary Explosion, a section for Finance/Administration would not be needed since the response period is expected to be relatively short. As such, this function would be taken care of by the Incident Commander (IC).
Command. This incident requires a single incident command set up, with one person named as Incident Commander. The IC is responsible for determining the objectives and priorities for the incident and ultimately responsible for all decisions related to any aspects of the response, including safety, news releases, and planning operations. One important component of the IC’s responsibility is the implantation of an Incident Action Plan (IAP).
