Section A. The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) has a large Chain of command. At the head is the EOC Commander, who receives information from the other parts of the chain, and is responsible for relaying that information to other agencies, and also the Homeland Security agency (formerly Federal Emergency Management Agency).
The Safety Officer is in charge of making sure safety policies are followed, and also for relaying what safety equipment might be needed. This person also keeps track and investigates injuries reported as a result of rescue operations.

Nursing personnel can be prepared for large scale disasters by joining the National Nurse Response Team (NNRT). The National Nurse Response Team is a specialty team used in any scenario requiring hundreds of nurses to assist in chemoprophylaxis, a mass vaccination program, or a scenario that overwhelms the nation’s supply of nurses in responding to a weapon of mass destruction event (Public Health Emergency, 2009, para. 1).

    The mixed method study, "Challenges of Nurses' Deployment to Other New York City Hospitals in the Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy," is one of only a few to evaluate the psychological toll on nurses working in such rapidly changing, uncontrolled, and potentially dangerous circumstances. The researchers conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with a sample of 16 nurses, reflecting the diversity of practice areas, nursing experience, and organizational role in the disaster. Subsequently, 528 NYULMC nurses completed an on-line quantitative survey about their Hurricane Sandy experiences.

    There is a current equivalent nurse within the inpatient setting, which is known as the rapid response nurse. The rapid response nurse is a member of the medical team who responds to deteriorating patients outside of the ED. Their role has been shown to improve team dynamics, patient outcome and communication, be effective in leadership and rapidly identify the deteriorating patient (Gilligan, 2005; Jolley et al., 2007). It has also been identified that trauma nurse coordinators within the military setting have shown improved performance in trauma care by implementing clinical practice guidelines, improving patient care processes and refining policies (Fecura et al., 2008). Combining the rapid response nurse with the emergency trauma nurse role and introducing some of the military policies could further improve the leadership skills a trauma team needs in an emergency resuscitation situation.…
