193 nations
48
enumerate the highest number of natural disasters globally
1. Philippines
2. Indonesia
3. India
49
The sendai frameworks aims to substantially reduce the following:
1. reduce global disaster
2. Reduce the number of affected people globally
3. Reduce direct economic loss in relation to Gross Domestic Product
4. Reduce disaster damage to critical infrastructure and disruption of basic services
50
The hyogo Framework was established for how many years
10 years 2005-2015
51
The sendai framework aims to substantially increase the following:
1. increase the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies
2. enhance international cooperation to developing countries
3. Increase the availability of and access to multi hazard early warning system
52
The hyogo framework focuses on:
Building the resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters
53
The sendai was developed on
March 18, 2015
54
The 3 cornerstone method of data collection for disaster planning are:
1. Hazard identification and mapping
2. Vulnerability Analysis
3. Risk Assessment
55
First step in effective disaster planning requires
advanced identification of potential problems
56
This determines which event is most likely to affect a community and to make decisions
about whom or what to protect as the basis of establishing measures for prevention, mitigation
and response
-Data are mapped using aerial photography, satellite imagery, remote sensing and geographic
information systems
HAZARD INDENTIFICATION AND MAPPING
57
Used to determine who is most likely to be affected the property most likely to be damaged or
destroyed, and the capacity of the community to deal with the effects of the disaster.
-Data are collected regarding the susceptibility of individuals, property and the environment to
potential hazards in order to develop prevention strategies
VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
58
Uses the results of the hazard identification and vulnerability analysis to determine the
probability of a specified outcome from a given hazard that affects a community with known
vulnerabilities and coping mechanism
-The probability may be presented as a numerical range ( percentage) or in relative form ( low,
moderate, high)
RISK ASSESSMENT

providing aid, facilitating services and supporting programs related to the
implementation, improvement and enhancement of DRRM plan

Provision of information about an
imminent hazard that is likely to
affect a community

communication (e.g., sounds,
symbols, letters) that can be easily
and immediately understood by all
stakeholders

True or False: Decontamination should be done before leaving the rescue site to prevent the spread of health hazard or secondary contamination
TRUE
71
After stressful situations this should be done

81
process
which places the right
patient in the right
place at the right time
to receive the right
level of care
Triage
82
French word for Triage which means to sort out or choose
Trier
83
credited with organizing the first
triage system
Baron Dominique Jean Larrey
84
process of prioritizing
which patient are to be treated
first and is the cornerstone of
good disaster management in
terms of judicious use of medical resources
Triage
85
performed by nurses on routine
basis in the ED
GOAL – to identify the sickest
patient in order to assess and treat
them first
Daily Triage
86
occurs when the ED is stressed by
large number of patients due to
an acute incident, but still able to
provide care to all patient utilizing
existing agency resources.
Incident Triage
87
A general Term employed when local emergency medical services (EMS) and hospital emergency services are overwhelmed
GOAL: Identifying and prioritizing
injured patients who have a good
chance of survival with immediate
intervention that do not consumed
extraordinary resources
Disaster Triage
88
89
an organized
method of removing residual
contaminants from the victim’s
hair, skin clothing
Decontamination
90
CATEGORIES
OF PATIENT
DURING DISASTER
TRIAGE: BLACK
Deceased and Expectant
91
RED
Emergent/Immediate
92
YELLOW
Urgent/Delayed
93
GREEN
Minor/ Ambulatory
Walking Wounded in START
94
GREEN in JumpSTART
Minor Injuries/may not be able to walk
95
Patient who are
physiologically well
compensated
Only requires basic immediate
care
Can probably wait for period
of time for definitive care with
minimal risk of deterioration
GREEN
96
Patient with compensated
physiology but a significant
potential for deterioration or
morbidity if there are long
delays before definitive care
can be provided
YELLOW
97
Patient with uncompensated
physiology and injuries that are life
threatening but probably
amenable to rapid intervention
that do not require consumption
of an inordinate amount of
resources
RED
98
Victims with no detectable
vital signs (deceased)
Victims with minimal signs of
life who, due to their injuries
and or associated medical
condition will soon die unless
extraordinary measures are
immediately employed
BLACK
99
Initial gross sorting of patient in
the field
Aimed at maximizing the
outcome for the greatest
possible number of victims
Sort out patient into the four
most commonly used triage
categories
Physiology is the focus
PRIMARY TRIAGE
100
Second patient assessment
Physiology is reassess and obvious
injury are identified
One of the goal is to determine
which patient can be treated
effectively on-scene and identify
those whose immediate needs
can only be met in hospital settings
SECONDARY TRIAGE
101
Becomes necessary if the hospital
in itself is damaged and
functioning at a lower capacity
than usual or is overwhelm by both
disaster and nondisaster patient
Hospital personnel determine if the
facility can provide appropriate
care or if the patient will require
stabilization and transfer to a
facility capable of a higher level
of care
TERTIARY TRIAGE
102
START means
Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment
103
5 basic parameters
the ability to walk
the presence or absence of spontaneous breathings
the respiratory rate
assessment of perfusion
the ability to obey commands
104
RPM Parameters includes what three vital points
Respiration
Perfusion
Mental Status
105
After a bullhorn who do you approach first
The motionless victims - assess and tag them first
106
Upon assessment patient is negative in respirations what do you do next?
Position airway - Jaw thrust maneuver
107
Upon assessment patient has >30 RR
tag RED
108
Patient has positive respirations <30 RR.
