MISSIONSTATEMENT
Disasters are a primary cause of morbidity and
mortality. Nurses can play an important role in
disaster mitigation, but they receive very little
training. This lecture is designed to help tointroduce to nursing the concepts of disasters and
disaster mitigation. We propose that you teach this
lecture to your nursing students to build awareness
world wide.

WHATISDISASTER
Is a result of vast ecological breakdown in the
relation between humans and their environment, as
serious or sudden event on such scale that the
stricken community needs extraordinary efforts to
cope with outside help or international aid.

HURRICANES
The primary health hazard from hurricanes or
cyclones lies in the risk of drowning from the storm
surge associated with the landfall of the storm.
Most deaths associated with hurricanes are
drowning deaths.
Secondarily, a hazard exists for injuries from flying
debris due to the high winds.
Nurses can be instrumental in providing direct
emergency care to drowning and head injuries.

TORNADOES
The primary hazard from a health perspective in a
tornado is the risk for injuries from flying debris. Thehigh winds and circular nature of a tornado leads to
the elevation and transport of anything that is not
fastened down. Most victims of tornadoes are affected
by head and chest trauma due to being struck by
debris or from a structural collapse. Some individuals
are injured while on the ground. Others are lifted into
the air by the tornado and dropped at another location.

FLOODS
Floods may originate very quickly following a quick rain
storm, or they may develop over a short period followingan extended period of rain or quick snow melt
The primary hazard from flooding is drowning
Longer term health concerns from flooding is the
development of disease from contaminated water andlack of hygiene.

EARTHQUAKES
A significant global concern
The primary health concern:
Injuries arising from structural collapse Most injuries occur amongst individuals trapped at the
time of the earthquake
Well known prevention strategy is to prevent buildings
from collapsing There is a recognized need to develop better rescue
strategies for retrieving individuals from collapsed
buildings

VOLCANOES
Rare, but can be catastrophic when they occur
Over the 25 year period (1972-1996), there was an
average of 6 eruptions per year, causing an
average of 1017 deaths and 285 injuries
Health outcomes are associated with volcanic
eruptions:
Respiratory illnesses from the inhalation of ash
For individuals close to the volcano, somedanger exists from lava flows, or more likely mud
flows

MYTHSASSOCIATEDWITHDISASTERS
Any kind of assistance needed in disasters A response not based on impartial evaluation contributes to
chaos
Epidemics and plagues are inevitable after everydisaster Epidemics rarely ever occur after a disaster Dead bodies will not lead to catastrophic outbreaks of exotic
disease
Proper resumption of public health services will ensure thepublics safety (sanitation, waste disposal, water quality, andfood safety)
Disasters bring out the worst in human behavior The majority responses spontaneous and generous
The community is too shocked and helpless Cross-cultural dedication to common good is most common
response to natural disasters

PATTERNSOFMORTALITYANDINJURY
Disaster events that involve water are the most
significant in terms of mortality
Floods, storm surges, and tsunamis all have a
higher proportion of deaths relative to injuries
Earthquakes and events associated with high winds
tend to exhibit more injuries than deaths
The risk of injury and death is much higher in
developing countries at least 10 times higher
because of little preparedness, poorer
infrastructure.

DISPLACEMENTOFDISASTERVICTIMS
Mass Shelters
Shelter management:
Organized team (chain)
Sleeping area and necessities
Water and food handling
Sanitation (toilets, showers,..)
Special care to children and elderly
Health services (physical, mental)

DISASTERANDHEALTH
In a major disaster water treatment plants,
storage & pumping facilities, & distribution
lines could be damaged, interrupted or
contaminated. Communicable diseases outbreak due to:
Changes affecting vector populations (increase vector),
Flooded sewer systems,
The destruction of the health care infrastructure, and The interruption of normal health services geared
towards communicable diseases
-
7/28/2019 PPT for EMERGENCY DISASTER NURSING
24/53
DISASTERANDHEALTH
Injuries from the event
Environmental exposure after the event (no shelter)
Malnutrition after the event (feeding the population
affected) Excess NCD mortality following a disaster
Mental health (disaster
syndrome)
-
7/28/2019 PPT for EMERGENCY DISASTER NURSING
25/53
MENTALWELLNESS
Little attention is paid to the children
Listen attentively to children without denying their
feelings
Give easy-to-understand answers to their questions In the shelter, create an environment in which
children can feel safe and secure (e.g. play area)
-
7/28/2019 PPT for EMERGENCY DISASTER NURSING
26/53
MENTALWELLNESS
In any major disaster, people want to know where their
loved ones are, nurses can assist in making links.
In case of loss, people need to mourn:
Give them space,
Find family friends or local healers to encourage
and support them
Most are back to normal within 2 weeks
About1% to 3%, may need additional help

WHATIS TRIAGE?
French verb trier means to sort
Assigns priorities when resources
limited
Do the best for the greatest
number of patients

WHYIS DISASTER TRIAGENEEDED
Inadequate resource to meet immediate needs
Infrastructure limitations
Inadequate hazard preparation
Limited transport capabilities
Multiple agencies responding
Hospital Resources Overwhelmed
-
7/28/2019 PPT for EMERGENCY DISASTER NURSING
35/53
ADVANTAGESOF TRIAGE
Helps to bring order and organization to a chaotic
scene.
It identifies and provides care to those who are in
greatest need
Helps make the difficult decisions easier
Assure that resources are used in the most
effective manner
May take some of the emotional burden away from
those doing triage
-
7/28/2019 PPT for EMERGENCY DISASTER NURSING
36/53
WHODECIDESINTRIAGE
Nurses dont act for legal fears of being blamed for
deaths, and lack of clarity on where they fit in the
command structure
Nurses function to the level of their training and
experience.
If nurses they are the most trained personnel the
site, they are in charge.

Omenn, AAAS former president, Vint Cerf, thefather of the Internet, Elias Zerhouni, head of NIH,
etc. , Ala Alwan, Assistant Director General of the
WHO
With the growing number of nurses in the network,there was a need to establish a DisasterNursing
Supercourse to emphasize the contribution of
nursing to global health

BUILDINGDISASTERNURSING SUPERCOURSE
Reasons:
Nurses form the largest health care professional
group
Nurses are the main health professionals in
touch with the community
Shortage in number of structured nursing
programs in disaster preparedness
Nurses deal with the physical stresses of a
disaster, and more importantly the fear,
stress and uncertainties of disasters
-

BUILDINGDISASTERNURSING SUPERCOURSE
Reasons:
Nurses receive little training in disaster
preparedness, prevention and Mitigation
(general not specialized training) Expected increase in disasters and in numbers
of causalities in particular in developing countries
Developing countries has the highest burden and
has limited resources

BUILDINGDISASTERNURSING SUPERCOURSE
How:1. Provide training for future generations of
nurses who might be engaged in a disaster
2. Collaborate with WHO
3. Build disaster nursing lectures to train nursesworldwide
4. Promote partnerships among instructors at
schools of nursing in the world in the area of
disaster nursing5. Offer up to date evidence based scientific
knowledge to enhance faculty training

Most of all, if gains in health and nutrition during
emergencies are to be sustained, graduates need to
understand the importance of capacity building of
national staff and institutions.
