Book excerpt: Many institutions of higher education (IHE) have found themselves suddenly tasked with maintaining the continuity of learning in the aftermath of a disaster. These institutions varied in their capacity to sustain operations to ensure affected students could continue or resume their academic studies. The extent to which these institutions were successful withstanding and recovering from disaster was largely affected by their leadership, preparedness and planning, and resources. This study provides an analysis of academic continuity preparation of Arkansas colleges and universities along with an analysis of strategies and best practices from IHEs who have survived a disaster. Presidents or their designees of state-supported colleges and universities in Arkansas were surveyed about their perception of risk and degree of planning for a disaster that interrupts campus operations for an extended period of time. The research shows that perception of the probability of a disaster event or previously experiencing an interruption to academic processes does not have any bearing on the level of preparedness; however, the campus leaders' approach to academic continuity does influence the level of preparedness. Overall, the results of the study indicate that state-supported colleges and universities in Arkansas have a limited ability to respond and recover to a disaster that interrupts academic processes for an extended length of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters have occurred in the United States since the first settlers arrived, many of these involving fires. Recent evidence shows that up to 30% of all those injured in a disaster will sustain a burn-related injury. Nurses have taken a leading role in helping hospitals prepare for these disasters. Emergency Room nurses especially need to be prepared for any type of disaster to strike at any time. This includes being prepared for patients with burns. During a disaster, transferring a burned patient to a burn specialty center might be delayed, or may not even be immediately possible due to the shortage of burn beds around the country. Also, communications problems and an overloaded burn specialty center could lead to the ability to consult with burn experts. This study was performed assess the preparedness of Arkansas Emergency Room nurses for a burn-related disaster. Members of the Arkansas Emergency Nurses Association were invited to participate in a survey based on a modified Community-Based Burn Management and Care Instrument, a research-verified reliable and valid tool. The survey was completed by 10 participants. It consisted of 24 multiple choice or true/false questions and one 4 point Likert Scale self-assessment. The average score was 60% correct on the 24 knowledge-based questions. 60% of participants rated themselves as somewhat competent, somewhat competent, and not competent. Further research is needed to assess the problem, and education and training are needed to help nurses treat burn injuries and increase their confidence.
