A Review of Water Management and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Lower Middl...Declan Hearne
This paper will focus on a review of the challenges and opportunities for Water Manage-ment and Disaster Risk Reduction in post disaster environments in lower middle Income Countries . The review will draw on grass roots experience from both Indonesia and Philippines.
The paper will outline the cost effectiveness of proactive strategies that consider disaster risk reduction as an integrated component of water management (as strongly indicated in AusAID policy for DRR.)
From Indonesia the reviewed will focus on how SurfAid International has cut into a niche corporate sector to attract funds to support social and environmental services in post dis-aster environments. The paper will look at three programs implemented in parallel by SurfAid International building health wellbeing and self-reliance of remote island communi-ties. Efforts from IWRM projects in Davao will also be consider and how they have pro-duced unintended, but welcome, outcomes in build the resilience of upland communities. Opportunities for better integration between water management and DRR will then be pre-sented.
The Symposium main theme which aims "to identify business opportunities for water sec-tor to integrate into an expanding environmental services industries" will be tackled by looking at the challenges in funding and sustaining funding for water management in post disaster environments. We will review the increasing role of the philanthropy in supporting recovery from disasters and the need to shift from responsive to proactive strategies for disaster management. The paper will present how water management and DRR strategies are both compatible and necessary to enable sustainable development, particularly in dis-aster prone SE Asia.
Finally the paper will apply these lessons and project a vision of how HELP Basins could become a local catalyst, creating a demand for water knowledge services that guides wa-ter actors to be proactive in engage a full spectrum of stakeholders for a truly diversified water business environment that is focus on social, economic and environment outcomes.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

nursing management of patient with Empyema pptblessyjannu21
prepared by Prof. BLESSY THOMAS, SPN
Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.

2. DISASTERS
• Disaster, as defined by the United Nations, is a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or
society, which involve widespread human, material, economic or environmental impacts that exceed the
ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources [1]. 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” [2]. Though often caused by
nature, disasters can have human origins. According to the International Federation of Red Cross & Red
Crescent Societies a disaster occurs when a hazard impacts on vulnerable people. The combination of
hazards, vulnerability and inability to reduce the potential negative consequences of risk results in
disaster [3].
• ( [3VULNERABILITY+ HAZARD ) / CAPACITY = DISASTER ]
• Natural disasters and armed conflict have marked human existence throughout history and have always
caused peaks in mortality and morbidity. This PPT examines the advances in the humanitarian response to
public health over the past fifty years and the challenges currently faced in managing natural disasters and
armed conflict

4. According to the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies
Natural Disasters are naturally occurring physical phenomena caused either by
rapid or slow onset events that have immediate impacts on human health and
secondary impacts causing further death and suffering. These disasters can be
[5]:
Geophysical (e.g. Earthquakes, Landslides, Tsunamis and Volcanic Activity)
Hydrological (e.g. Avalanches and Floods)
Climatological (e.g. Extreme Temperatures, Drought and Wildfires)
Meteorological (e.g. Cyclones and Storms/Wave Surges)
Biological (e.g. Disease Epidemics and Insect/Animal Plagues)
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction characterises Natural
Disasters in relation to their magnitude or intensity, speed of onset, duration
and area of extent e.g. earthquakes are of short duration and usually affect a
relatively small region whereas droughts are slow to develop and fade away
and often affect large regions [1].

7. Man-Made Disasters
Man-Made Disasters as viewed by the International
Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies are events
that are caused by humans which occur in or close to human
settlements often caused as a results of Environmental or
Technological Emergencies. This can include [3]:
Environmental Degradation
Pollution
Accidents (e.g. Industrial, Technological and Transport
usually involving the production, use or transport of
hazardous materials)
10. AspectsofDisaster

The International Federation of
Red Cross & Red Crescent
Societies defines disaster
management as the organisation
and management of resources and
responsibilities for dealing with
all the humanitarian aspects of
emergencies, in particular
preparedness, response and
recovery in order to lessen the
impact of disasters

"The outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and
related disasters [1]"
UNISDR views Disaster Prevention as the concept of engaging
in activities which intend to prevent or avoid potential adverse
impacts through action taken in advance, activities designed to
provide protection from the occurrence of disasters [1]. WCPT
similarly highlight that while not all disasters can be prevented,
good risk management, evacuation plans, environmental
planning and design standards can reduce risk of loss of life and
injury mitigation. The HYOGO Framework was one such Global
Plan for natural Disaster Risk Reduction, which was adopted in
2005 as a 10 year Global Plan, signed by agreement with 168
Governments which offered guiding principles, priorities for
action and practical means for achieving disaster resilience for
vulnerable communities
Disaster Prevention
12. "The knowledge and capacities developed by governments, professional
response and recovery organizations, communities and individuals to
effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from, the impacts of likely,
imminent or current hazard events or conditions" [1].
According to ICRC, Disaster Preparedness refers to measures taken to
prepare for and reduce the effects of disasters, be they natural or man-made.
This is achieved through research and planning in order to try to predict
areas or regions that may be at risk of disaster and where possible prevent
these from occurring and/or reduce the impact those disasters on the
vulnerable populations that may be affected so they can effectively cope.
Disaster preparedness activities embedded with risk reduction measures can
prevent disaster situations and also result in saving maximum lives and
livelihoods during any disaster situation, enabling the affected population to
get back to normalcy within a short time period [3].
Disaster Preparedness
13. “The provision of emergency services and public assistance during or
immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts,
ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people
affected" [1].
Focused predominantly on immediate and short-term needs, the division
between this response/relief stage and the subsequent recovery stage is
not clear-cut. Some response actions, such as the supply of temporary
housing and water supplies, may extend well into the recovery stage.
Rescue from immediate danger and stabilization of the physical and
emotional condition of survivors is the primary aims of disaster
response/relief, which go hand in hand with the recovery of the dead and
the restoration of essential services such
as water and power [3][10].

programmes which go beyond the
provision of immediate relief to assist
those who have suffered the full impact
of a disaster and include the following
activities [3] [10]:

16. Responding Internationally to Disasters: Do’s and Don’ts
When disasters strike, there is always a huge amount of
goodwill from rehabilitation professionals around the world
who wish to use their skills to support those affected. This brief
guidance informs those who are considering responding
internationally to a disaster either as individuals or as part of a
team. It highlights key questions to consider before departing,
whilst working in the disaster area and on returning home.
Responses to these questions considered are presented as “Do’s
and Dont's” which are exemplified by recommended practices
and those to avoid in the real case studies below. The guidance
note is not intended to be a step-by-step or technical guide, nor
is it exhaustive, and does not supersede any specific guidance
provided by your own global professional body.

The WHO Emergency Medical Team (EMT) Initiative helps countries
and NGOs to set up teams that will be able to maintain agreed
standards of quality and self-sufficiency, resulting in better patient
care. With more teams striving to reach these standards, clear
guidance on best practice is needed, particularly for managing
patients with limb injuries, which make up the majority of cases. The
consensus-based Field Guide—Management of Limb Injuries during
disasters and conflicts and the complementary open-access online
resources gathered here are aimed at providing that guidance. It
draws on the expertise of the International Committee of the Red
Cross, which has a long history of delivering care to patients and
protecting them in conflict. This field guide will be regularly updated
as new controversies are raised and evidence grows.
