RESUMO

This chapter introduces the reader to the principles of planning, the common tasks conscistent across all disaster responses, and the key components of a disaster preparedness plan. Definitions of the different types of disaster are provided, along with a classification system for disasters based on their common and unique features; onset, duration, and effect (immediate aftermath); and reactive period. The concept of the disaster timeline as an organizational framework for strategic planning is introduced. The five areas of focus in emergency and disaster preparedness, preparedness, mitigacion, response, recovery, and evaluation are addressed. Risk assesment, hazard identification and mapping, and vulnerability analysis are presented as methods for decision-making and planning. The concepts of disasters epidemiology and measurement of the magnitude of a disaster's impact on population health are explored. Situations suggestive of an increased need for planning, such as bioterrorism and hazmat (hazardous material) events, are addressed

RESUMO

Introduction: Many organizations rally to areas to provide assistance to a population during a disaster. Little is known about the ability of the materials and services provided to meet the actual needs and demands of the affected population. This study sought to identify the perceptions of representatives of the international organizations providing this aid, the international workers involved with the delivery of this aid, the workers who were employed locally by the international organizations, the recipients, and the local authorities. This study sought to identify the perceptions of these personnel relative to the adequacies of the supplies in meeting the needs and demands of the population during and following the war in Bosnia - Herzegovina. Methods: Structured interviews were conducted with representatives of international organizations and workers providing aid and with locally employed workers, recipients of the assistance, and the authorities of the areas involved. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to assist in the analysis of the data. Results: Eighty-eigth interviews were conducted. A total of 246 organizations were identified as providing assistance within the area, and 54


were involved with health-related activities including: 1)the provision of medications; 2)public health measures; and 3)medical equipment or parts for the same. Internationals believed that a higher proportion of the needs were being met by the assistance(73.4ñ16.4


) than did the nationals(52.1ñ23.3


;p <0.001). All groups believed that approximately 50


of the demands of the affected population were being addressed. Howewer, 87


of the international interviewes believed that the affected population was requesting more than it actually needed. While 27


of the international participants believed that >25


of what was provided was unusable, 80


of the recipients felt that >25


of the provisions were not usable.Whereas two-thirds of the international participants believed that >25


of the demands for assistance by the affected community could not be justified, only 20


of the recipients and authorities believed >25


of the demands were unjustified. Conclusions: Many organizations are involved in the provision of medical assistance during a disaster. However, international organizations and workers believe their efforts are more effective than do the recipients(AU)

RESUMO

Proyecto que trabaja en la recuperación de varias comunidades de las provincias afectadas por los procesos eruptivos de los volcanes Pichincha y Tungurahua a partir de agosto de 1999 en Ecuador. Está constituido por varios componentes: manejo de suministros SUMA, agua y saneamiento, vigilancia epidemiológica, salud mental.El proyecto fue financiando por la Agencia Internacional para el Desarrollo del Gobierno de Canadá (CIDA) para solventar los efectos negativos causados por los altos niveles de actividad volcánica en Ecuador. La erupciones produjeron el desplazamiento de personas de sus viviendas, la caída de ceniza contamina el aire, suelo y agua causando efectos negativos sobre la agricultura y ganadería, además de que ha afectado la salud física y mental de los habitantes de las zonas afectadas

RESUMO

The provision of reproductive health(RH) services by humanitarian agencies to displaced populations is relatively new. Until recently, the needs of displaced people in emergency settings were often ignored. During the eighties, attempts were made to address the problem, and in the last few years increasing attention has been paid to these needs in emergency contexts. In particular, recognition of the major threat posed by STDs and AIDS and growing media attention to sexual violence among displaced populations has highlighted the importance of the RH agenda in emergency settings. A longside changes in RH provision in stable settings, the move to implement RH services for displaced populations was accelerated after the International Conference on Population and Development in 1994. The Conference ser reproductive health within a rights framework and highlighted the needs of displaced populations. However, despite the increased recognition of RH concerns in emergencies, in reality the agenda has proved difficult to implement. Some aspects raise ethical and moral concerns to which humanitarian agencies have different attitudes. Bilateral agencies, non-guvernmental organisations and donors are grappling with difficult decisions as to what services they should provide and how to ensure servces are safe and effective. This is also happening in stable settings. In the absence of good data on both needs and impact of RH service provision in emergencies, much of the emphasis on safe provision falls to the judgement of field based practitioners, with important implications for training and appropriate resourcing at that level. In this paper available information about reproductive health among displaced populations is presented. Policies of a number of actors are also described and examples of current RH programmes and the issued facing those attempting to implement them are explored. (AU)

RESUMO

Each Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system is unique in its development and scope od practice. In many instances. It is important to the intellectual growth of the Emergency Medical Technicians that they visualize EMS design from an international perspective. This article describe the EMS system that exists ion Hong Kong. It explores the changes that are occurring, defines the relationship between. Hong Kong and China and considers the influence that this evolving model might have on China after 1997 (AU)

RESUMO

This paper evaluates the health related response to large natural disasters using the example of the recent Bangladesh cyclone of 1991. After providing a description of the extent of the health response, it focuses on three major issues: (i)assessment of needs (ii) coordination of major groups involved in health relief and rehabilitation efforts and (iii) appropriateness and effectiveness of the health response in terms of definable outcome criteria. the conclusions are that in the case of the Bangladesh cyclone: (a) the assessment of needs was more reactive rather than anticipatory and was not based on any systematic data gathering from the field; (b) in contrast to previous disaster situations there was excellent coordination of the major groups involved in the aid process (the government, the armed forces and non-governmental organizations) and (C) given the caveat of inadequate baseline information, it appears that the health response was prompt and effective in preventing any increase in mortality from diarrheal diseases and measles. The reasons for the deficiencies and successes of the health response are analysed and finally a list of detailed recommendations to facilitate future disaster/cyclone management and response is provided.(AU)
