Chapter 12Public Health Preparedness Policy.docx

keturahhazelhurst

Chapter 12: Public Health Preparedness Policy Chapter Overview • Describe what public health preparedness is and the role of the public health community in preparing for and responding to emergencies • Understand the breadth of public health emergencies, and the types of communities public health must work with to prepare for and respond to specific events • Understand the threats from and history of use of weapons of mass destruction Chapter Overview • Define public health threats from biological agents and naturally occurring diseases • Discuss both the federal, state, and local policies and laws that support public health preparedness and the infrastructure that has been built to support preparedness activities at the federal, state and local levels Defining Public Health Preparedness • “[P]ublic health emergency preparedness . . . is the capability of the public health and health care systems, communities, and individuals, to prevent, protect against, quickly respond to, and recover from health emergencies, particularly those whose scale, timing, or unpredictability threatens to overwhelm routine capabilities. Preparedness involves a coordinated and continuous process of planning and implementation that relies on measuring performance and taking corrective action.” – The RAND Corporation Defining Public Health Preparedness • Public health “emergencies” fit into four basic categories: – the intentional or accidental release of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agent; – natural epidemics or pandemics, which may involve a novel, emerging infectious disease, a re-emerging agent, or a previously controlled disease; – natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or fires; and – manmade environmental disasters such as oil spills. Defining Public Health Preparedness • A fifth category of public health emergency, as defined by the World Health Organization’s International Health Regulations, is “an extraordinary event which is determined . . . to constitute a public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response.” Such an emergency can involve any of the above four types of public health events, as long as it has the potential to cross borders. Public Health Preparedness Policy • While government officials have long been aware of public health emergencies and the need for coordinated action to detect, report, and respond appropriately, the U.S. preparedness infrastructure did not truly take shape until after the attacks of September 11, 2001 • The two initial, significant organizational changes: the establishment of the federal Office of Homeland Security and the Homeland Security Council within the White House, and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security Public Health Preparedness Policy ...

HM500Unit 6 DQTopic 1 Developing an Emergency Response Plan

SusanaFurman449

HM500 Unit 6 DQ Topic 1: Developing an Emergency Response Plan Developing an emergency response plan is critical and requires considerable planning. The plan must be comprehensive to include, federal, state, local, and private sector resources. Discuss the major components of a quality emergency response plan. In your discussion address how you would ensure that if the plan had to be executed that the organizations involved would be prepared to respond. Topic 1: Topic 1: Student Response #1: (Respond to Josh below) Josh Moskaitis I think we can all agree that conducting a risk assessment in the forefront is perhaps the most important part of any emergency response plan. This sets the foundation for identifying risks and hazards that our response area could be exposed to. Planning, training, coordination and communication are equally as important. Planning helps us to outline how we would respond in kind to the incidents, risks and hazards that we identified in our risk assessment. Training ensures that each agency involved is on not only on the same page but understand their responsibilities once that plan is enacted. Coordination goes hand in hand with training, properly coordinated actions results in a well coordinated dance with everyone knowing their part. And communication, we cannot stress enough how important communication is because if we cannot properly transmit information in real time within the responding agencies, our plan is going to suffer and things could be missed. The best way to ensure all of these steps are followed and the plan gets executed properly is simply to train on it quarterly as well as hold hot washes, an after action get together where what went right and what went wrong is discussed so that we can improve. Continuous training as well as constant communication is the only way we all get on the same page. Topic 1: Topic 1: Student Response #2: (Respond to Gabe below) Gabe Gil A successful emergency operations plan (EOP) requires cooperation and understanding from all groups and agencies involved. A major component of the EOP is the base plan. “The base plan: Contains the most comprehensive information about the community, its risks, its statutory authorities, and the general concept by which emergency operations are conducted (Haddow et al, 2021, p. 136). This is an important component because it lays out what the problem is, the risks or hazards it proposes, and who has what authority or roles and responsibilities for certain actions. This supports the idea that risk assessment is an important part of the EOP. Risk assessment can also be a great tool for inclusion and preparation of all supporting organizations. Including them in the risk assessment conversation will allow any uncertainty in the plan to be vocalized and help with better cohesion as the plan is implemented. To make sure that all levels have a common vision of the EOPs goals and focus, we have NIMS and the NRF that help with the concept of ...

Invervention Proposal (all assignments mentioned below are attached) In Week Three, you created a literature review around the scenario that you selected in Week One (scenario is below). For the Week Six assignment, you will create an intervention proposal that contains a professional recommendation for the chosen case study. The Intervention Proposal should incorporate the Week Three Literature Review and Week One Annotated Bibliography assignments. In a 10- to 12-page paper (not including the title page or references page) the student will: Briefly restate the problem from the chosen case study. Compose a thesis statement that contains the student’s professional recommendation. The thesis statement should be located near the end of the second paragraph of the report. Explain the relevant theories and empirical studies that have led to the student’s professional recommendation. The explanation must include evaluations of seven to eight, peer-reviewed articles from the Annotated Bibliography that was created in Week Two. At least one of these articles must be about a specific empirical study. In addition, the explanation must: Evaluate each article (comparing and contrasting them with the other articles) and answer the following questions: What was the researchers’ research question? What was their hypothesis? How many participants did they have? Was the research design method appropriate for that particular hypothesis? Was it valid? Did their findings support the hypothesis? What are the implications? What are the limitations? Discuss the opposing sides to the student’s recommendation and explain: Why it is relevant. Why it should be considered. Why it should be discounted for this recommendation. Discuss any limitations or gaps in existing research. Restate the professional recommendation in one to two concluding paragraphs. The paper must include a title page and references page, and it must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Organization tip: It is best to start with the least related and most broad article and move toward the most relevant. It can be helpful to think of the organization for this report as a funnel: The articles evaluated should get more and more specific and narrow in breadth throughout the report. Language Note: This report is being written for an audience that is not familiar with the theories and material that are discussed. This means that the paper needs to be accessible to all individuals. All technical terms, acronyms, and theories should be explained and jargon should be avoided. Scenario Three: The Psychology of Disaster Preparedness In September 2003 a Category Two hurricane made landfall in a town that was ill prepared for such a natural disaster. The hurricane claimed over 100 lives and caused approximately $1.4 billion in damages. This large American city had not experienced a natural disaster of this proportion for more than 100 years.

Essay On Coping With Disaster

Custom College Papers Texas A&M University-San Antonio

Coping with Disaster discusses emergency preparedness and disaster management at the city-wide or larger level. It defines a disaster as an unexpected calamity that overwhelms normal coping mechanisms, requiring extraordinary measures. A disaster risks significant human suffering and economic losses. Developing an effective disaster response plan involves assessing risks and available resources. The plan should address different disaster scenarios, objectives, tasks, responsibilities, and needs like supplies, logistics, funding, and communication systems. Rehearsals help ensure those involved maintain skills and improve any issues in the plan.

Disaster communications for response and recovery are multifaceted. .docx

alexandernmeredith30

Disaster communications for response and recovery are multifaceted. Warning signs, distress alerts, and even the use of mobile-to-mobile applications have changed the way preparedness activities are conveyed. In order to communicate response and recovery efforts, you must also establish a context for implementing preparedness. This is where the development of communication networks comes into play. Since the 1980s, news coverage and broadcasts of emergencies and major disasters have increased dramatically. The proliferation of media coverage of emergencies and major disasters not only serves to educate the public, but also to extend public scrutiny of the response efforts beyond those just in the disaster area. Consequently, the skill set of emergency managers extends beyond traditional methods of preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies and disasters. Emergency managers must become proficient in disaster communications. Establishing communication networks—such as distress hotlines, warning messages displayed on the television or radio, and even text messages or print warnings on electronic devices—holds immense potential for communicating the urgency of disaster response and recovery. Effectively communicating response efforts, assuaging public criticism, and amassing support for continued relief are essential methods of ensuring a smooth transition from response to recovery. For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources for this week. Consider the role of technology, science, and engineering in disaster communications. Post an explanation of the role of technology, science, and engineering in disaster communications. Provide at least two specific examples of communications in your region and how technology, science, or engineering played a role. Be sure to use the Learning Resources and current literature to support your response Huder, R. C. (2012). Disaster operations and decision making . Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.

The National Response Framework (NRF) expressly outlines roles and.docx

dennisa15

The National Response Framework (NRF) expressly outlines roles and responsibilities for various levels of government; these levels include not just the political leaders and administrations but also associated agencies. At the federal level, for example, DHS, FEMA, FBI, and DOD—among others—often play a marked role in all stages of crisis-response planning and management. At state levels, one can find the following (among others): state homeland security and/or emergency management offices; state highway patrol departments; state bureaus of investigations; state environmental, labor, or hazardous materials divisions. Local communities will also have regulatory agencies, commissions created by political leaders, task forces, interagency groups, citizens committees, and much more. Importantly, these many distinct entities spread across these levels also require unique technologies and capabilities. Remember one more thing: all disasters are local. This means that the local community is normally the initial site of a crisis, incident, or disaster. Per the NRF, communities are expected to respond to the best of their capabilities and request help only when given resources are exhausted. In many cases, these requests for assistance are specific, covering specific needs. Local communities request resources from their intrastate regions or the state; states may request resources they’ve exhausted or don’t possess from neighboring states and/or the federal level. For this unit’s assignment, you will use the Minnesota Bridge/ I-35W Collapse of 2007 as a case study. Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 3–5 pages: What are at least 3 forms of technology that made or could have made a significant difference in saving lives, lessening suffering, and/or protecting property? Explain in detail. Describe each of the 3 technologies (specific form or class of capabilities). Discuss in detail. Which level(s) of government did employ or should have employed this tool or capability? Explain. Who specifically used it (or should have)? How did they use it? Explain and be specific. How did each tool or type of technology make—or would have made—a significant impact in the management of this crisis? Explain. Emphasize the ability to save or protect lives and property Note the technologies you choose for this assignment may have been used or not. They must be real, existing capabilities or tools that you will probably have to research specifically, not just “cool” ideas in need of invention or development. Conclude your paper by arguing how and when technology is, or is not, a force multiplier for incidents such as the Minnesota Bridge Collapse, and support your arguments with evidence, not opinion. Your final product should be well organized, well written, employ good mechanics, and be clear and persuasive. All information used that does not solely reflect original thought must be properly cited with appropriate references provided. Be sure to reference .

Untapped Potential – An Analysis of Online Newsrooms on State Emergency Manag...

Dawn Dawson

This document analyzes the online presence of state emergency management agency websites. It finds that these websites are not fully utilizing the potential of the internet and social media to communicate with the public during crises. The document reviews literature on crisis communication and the role of the internet. It examines how emergency management agencies have changed since 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. The analysis suggests that while the internet proved useful for information sharing during crises, many government websites are not strategically designed and lack key journalist-friendly features like centralized newsrooms. Overall, the document concludes that emergency management agencies have more work to do in order to effectively use online tools for crisis communication.

Click on the following links for the Phase 4 Reading Assignment: NIMS Supporting Technology Evaluation Program For this assignment, you will research and examine an actual emergency situation of your choosing (either a man-made or natural disaster) occurring within the last 8 years that required interaction among the local, state, and national levels. The research and examination should be reported in a paper written from the position of a local emergency management employee assigned to draft a report to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This assignment will require research into the authority, responsibility, and technological capabilities of FEMA. Within the past 8 years, there have been many catastrophes, not necessarily involving terrorist acts but requiring crisis management resources. Examples include Hurricane Katrina; the 2010 oil well explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; the broken natural gas pipeline and resulting explosion in San Bruno, California; and major wildfires in California, Colorado, and other states, to name a few. Assignment Guidelines Address the following in a report of 750 words: Briefly describe and summarize the event. When did the event occur, and what happened? Were there any casualties or injuries? Was there any environmental damage? If so, explain What was the primary cause of the event? Explain. What intergovernmental jurisdictions were involved? How were they coordinated? Explain. What types of technology were used during the response and recovery phases? Summarize them. What tools, equipment, or technology could have significantly improved relief efforts? How? Were any special technologies or scientific developments used to restore the situation back to normal? If so, explain. Who should be responsible for funding and providing the tools, equipment, and technology—federal, state, or local governments? Why? Were there any coordination problems, such as interagency communication or conflict? Why or why not? What types of forecasting technologies could have been or were used in the event you selected? Explain. Were they effective? Why or why not? What conclusions and recommendations could you make? Explain. Compile your responses in the final report, and submit the file to your instructor.

To prepare for this Discussion: Review Chapter 2 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to multicultural perspectives and considerations Review the article, “Psychological Assessment of Children in Disasters and Emergencies,” and focus on the special issues related to assessing the needs of children and adolescents after a crisis. Also concentrate on the different psychological assessment tools that are appropriate for use with this population after a crisis. Review the article, “Natural Disasters that Reveal Cracks in Our Social Foundation.” Think about the ways in which a break down in services and communication can be avoided for the elderly population during crises like the 2003 France heat wave. Review the article, “The Transformation of Traditional Mental Health Service Delivery in Multicultural Society in California, USA That Can Be Replicated Globally,” paying particular attention to the necessity of mental health services as a top priority during crises. Review the article, “Vulnerable Populations in an American Red Cross Shelter After Hurricane Katrina,” and think about the ways in which the ‘Model of Vulnerable Populations’ helps address crises wherein people suffer from multiple losses in their communities. Also think about appropriate mental health obligations that should be taken into consideration when working with vulnerable populations during and after a crisis. Review the article, “Responding to Student or Teacher Death: Preplanning Crisis Intervention,” and focus on the importance of communicating with parents and students, as well as fostering a grieving process that facilitates healing after a student or teacher death. Reflect on your Application Assignment from this week and think about the alternative communication systems and strategies that can be used when assisting individuals who have experienced a crisis. Also think about the ways in which to reach and communicate with vulnerable populations in these same situations(Whether a crisis or disaster is natural or man-made, effective communication strategies are needed no matter where it occurs. A great deal was learned about communication issues in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. After this disaster, thousands of residents in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana were without roads, electricity, or cell phone towers. Because of this, creative means of communication, both inside and outside the region, were needed. Agencies with satellite phones had no difficulty, but for most survivors this was not a possibility—it was difficult to make phone calls both outside and inside the region. One means of communicating, however, was successful for many—text messaging. But, of course, this required a digital phone with texting capability, which not all had access to. In order to reach survivors who did not have this capability, four-wheel drive vehicles or trucks were necessary because roads and bridges were destroyed. Tr ...
