examples of catastrophes
major terrorism, hurricane, or human error
what caused the population boom?
high birth rate and falling death rate

another name for PODS
third most common cause of death
homicide
catastrophe
an event that severely disrupts the people, infrastructure, environment, economy and/or government
public health
focused on preventing health problems
technological hazard
caused by machines, chemicals, tools, etc
recovery
getting back to everyday life
examples of preparedness
opening a shelter when a hurricane is coming
examples of hazards
power lines, nuclear facilities, flooding
CHEMPACK
facilitates rapid deployment of chemical antidotes to quickly respond to chemical incidents
examples of emergencies
house fire, car crash, apartment floor collapse
WHO initiatives
Roll Back Malaria, Stop TB, GAVI
RSS location
centralised place where SNS can be received by authorities
hazard
an event or circumstance that could lead to an emergency or disaster
examples of disasters
hurricane, tornado, serious human errors
sentinel physicians
report total number of patient visits and number of patients with flu-like illnesses
which type of hazard is always caused by man?
technological
Alternate Medical Treatment Sites (AMTS)
state or local assets designed to deploy quickly to disasters or emergencies
which city got public water in 313 BC?
Rome via the aqueduct
germ theory of disease
Agnostino Bassi said that diseases are caused by living microorganisms
most common cause of death
accidents
Points of Distribution (PODS)
community locations where medications or supplies are given out to public
emergency
an event handled at the local level
mitigation
addressing potential hazards to decrease or prevent impact
Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT)
designed to provide mortuary assistance in case of mass fatality or cemetery incident
response
action performed to the immediate danger presented by an emergency or disaster
how many EOCs are there?
every state has one, along with most counties and some large cities
Emergency Operations Centre
collection, dissemination and distribution point of information
second most common cause of death
congenital health (abnormalities beyond the help of medicine)
prevention in public health
there is a possibility of eliminating diseases altogether (ex. smallpox)
vendor managed inventory
agreements in place with suppliers to arrange direct factory or manufacturing at 24-36 hours
emergency support functions
a mechanism that consolidates multiple agencies into one to allow for better management of emerencies
disaster
an event that overwhelms the locals and requires outside help
what is the Flint water crisis?
a disaster
how long does recovery take?
can take days, can take years (ex. Katrina)
prevention
not typical in emergency management because you can't prevent disasters from happening
preparedness
deals with certainties, rather than possibilities
emergency management is
analysis, planning and decision making to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters

Swine Flu outbreak
drug resistance
30% of antibiotics in the US are unnecessary
Viral Shift only occurs in
Influenza Type A
bacteria
one billion bacteria in a litre of fresh water 2,000 species of bacteria in and on you, no benefit but no harm
pandemic
an infectious disease that affects entire continents or even the whole world
viral shift
a previously known virus undergoes genetic reassortment
how do we stop bacteria?
use of antibiotics
malaria resistance
Cholorquine and Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine
examples of bacterias

antibiotics
inhibit growth of bacteria by allowing your body to catch up
examples of viruses
common cold, HIV, flu
amount of trailers supplied during Hurricane Katrina
140,000
Phase 6 Pandemic
a major global event which requires a massive response
examples of protozoa
single-celled organisms (ex. malaria)
broad spectrum antibiotics
affects general levels of all bacteria

H1N1 or H3N2 viruses
in order to have a pandemic, you must have a

can create toxic compounds and grow inside of bodies
what does yellow represent on Hazard Identification System?
reactivity
resistant bacteria
2 million people infected each year, 23k deaths
epidemic
a disease affecting many persons at the same time
vaccines
introduce dead or weakened versions of the virus, stimulating the body to produce antibodies
Bhopal Disaster consequences
3,787 dead that night, eventually reached 10,000 558,125 injuries, 93% of which were minor
Swine Flu progressions to humans
very rare, jumped to pigs in 1998

Malaria cases
216 million, 445k deaths worldwide (trending down for decades)
how does the body handle viral infections?
begins with immunity, which speeds up reactions and produces white blood cells to target the virus
how to stop viral infections?
let your body handle it, and vaccines
immediate consequences
due to severity, scope an duration of event on environment
