Download or read book Hurricane Preparedness Planning for a Hospital written by Oscar Webb and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, , language: English, abstract: Implementation of a hurricane preparedness and response plan requires the coordinated efforts of multiple agencies from throughout the region. Utilization of effective team support produced very good results when applied with strategic management efforts built on an application of solid ethical principles. Understanding the importance of strong communication throughout the process allowed the team to produce superior results and build upon previous successes. The team was also cognizant that the experiences of the community and those that had gone through the process previously were important factors in allowing the current process to proceed in a positive fashion. Disaster preparedness is by no means an exact science. Despite this fact, there are ways to eliminate errors and provide an organization with the highest chance to reduce negative outcomes. This is achieved through experience and repetitive training designed to mimic potential scenarios that may be encountered. Analyzing previous successes and failures of the organization and other entities can provide valuable insight into what strategies will lead to the desired outcomes for the planning committee. Failing to consider the merits of past performance is a surefire way to mismanage a potential impending disaster. Even a successful previous plan can yield data about corrections and improvements when analyzed thoroughly.

This book was released on 2020-11-28 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When communities face complex public health emergencies, state local, tribal, and territorial public health agencies must make difficult decisions regarding how to effectively respond. The public health emergency preparedness and response (PHEPR) system, with its multifaceted mission to prevent, protect against, quickly respond to, and recover from public health emergencies, is inherently complex and encompasses policies, organizations, and programs. Since the events of September 11, 2001, the United States has invested billions of dollars and immeasurable amounts of human capital to develop and enhance public health emergency preparedness and infrastructure to respond to a wide range of public health threats, including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear events. Despite the investments in research and the growing body of empirical literature on a range of preparedness and response capabilities and functions, there has been no national-level, comprehensive review and grading of evidence for public health emergency preparedness and response practices comparable to those utilized in medicine and other public health fields. Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response reviews the state of the evidence on PHEPR practices and the improvements necessary to move the field forward and to strengthen the PHEPR system. This publication evaluates PHEPR evidence to understand the balance of benefits and harms of PHEPR practices, with a focus on four main areas of PHEPR: engagement with and training of community-based partners to improve the outcomes of at-risk populations after public health emergencies; activation of a public health emergency operations center; communication of public health alerts and guidance to technical audiences during a public health emergency; and implementation of quarantine to reduce the spread of contagious illness.
