Tornados and their aftermath are a frequent occurrence in the part of the United States in which I live, the Midwest region of the United States. Having participated in training drills, exercises, and real-life events in my own county, this simulation brought to mind many of the requirements for effective disaster management I have learned through Incident Command Systems training (ICS). Federal standards are in place and practiced for disaster preparedness, along with adaptations in each state, region, and county to accommodate differences in personnel available and facilities in place. Also considered are various topographic and weather pattern differences. There are common threads that tie all these disaster plans together,…

The County Public Health Director (CPHD) may be called on to report to the media during a disaster. It is important that the CPHD reassures the public and avoids speculation when speaking directly to the media or the public. The CPHD will also attend an incident command briefing, where she will report her observations and concerns to the entire Disaster Response Team. The CPHD will focus the public health department’s efforts on identifying the needs of special populations, and addressing food and water safety and sanitation concerns. She will also call a meeting to establish a public health incident command system, and will appoint officers based on the special skills and talents of the individuals in the department.…
In this disaster the public health personnel had to deal with multiple problems both during the initial period and after the immediate danger had past. Initially public health had the immediate concerns of food and water safety and power supply. The absence of power creates issues with food spoilage, clean water and a properly working septic system. Additionally, there is a need to set up immediate emergency shelters for people that will be displaced from their homes due to damage or flooding.…
At 6:15 p.m. on Friday, a second fire struck an apartment complex on 10 Candlewood Drive. While no one was injured, the fire left more than 20 residents without a home.

Thanks to the Red Cross, these individuals had something to fall back on. People who wish to help the victims of these fires can give to them at…
The role of major health personnel in an emergency is to manage the safety and well being of the people in their community during and after a natural or man-made disaster. This is done by assessing the details of what occurred, what needs must be met and facilitating a team to organize information about the event and provide logistics as quickly as possible. This is seen in the simulation exercise for the “Disaster in Franklin County”. (Olson, Larsen, Scheller, & Johnson, 2006) Roles are appointed in a chain of command format. It is ideal that all personnel have received some type of emergency management training, but even if not, skill sets must be assessed and duties assigned accordingly. An Incident Commander will be appointed and the Public Health Director assigns rolls that include finances, planning, logistics, public information liaison and operators. The Public Health Team will work closely and concurrently with other entities, such as the Fire Chief, Police Chief, Hazardous Materials Team, Public Works and EMS teams. The public health department is mostly concerned with the safety and logistics of sheltering victims and being sure that food and water provided is safe for consumption.…
In the event of a disaster, the community relies upon the public health personnel to evaluate the needs of the community, assess the available resources, provide reliable information, and coordinate health activities. It is essential that local health workers are trained professionals who are reassuring and organized to address health, social, cultural and material concerns of the community. Local health personnel coordinate social services, transportation, available health services, volunteers, outside assistance, public utilities and rescue work (HELP, 1989).…

Emergency preparedness is the ability of individuals, organizations, and communities to respond to public health emergencies, such as natural disasters, bad weather, bioterrorism, outbreak of diseases, accidents casualties, and chemical or radiation emergencies. The most indigenous role of the federal, state or local government is to protect and prevent citizens from injury or potential harm, which involves helping people to prepare and respond to emergency situation, including people with disabilities. To plan and respond to community emergency require involvement of everybody in the community, including people with disabilities in identifying needs in evaluating operational management.
