Emergency Preparedness

The dreadful Eyre Peninsula bushfires of 2005 which trapped a town and killed 9 were apparently started by the backfiring or hot exhaust pipe of an old truck belonging to a local prospector.

It is also said that this same prospector lost his home in the more recent bushfires which again swept through parts of the Eyre Peninsula.

During an earthquake, remember to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On." Drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. Stay indoors and away from windows, shelves, and heavy objects that could fall. If outside, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and utility wires.

HVPG (Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient) measurement involves measuring the pressure difference between the wedged hepatic venous pressure and the free hepatic venous pressure. During a TIPS procedure, the HVPG measurement is typically obtained by inserting a balloon catheter into the hepatic vein to occlude blood flow and measure the pressure. This is done before and after the TIPS creation to assess the change in portal pressure.

Check if the area is safe, ask if anyone needs your help, if there are casualties to attend to then ask permission to touch them if they are conscious (this is just to protect yourself from any law suits), assess the responsiveness of the casualties, collect and protect the belongings of the casualties and call for more help if there is not enough on the scene.

It varies. Based on data from the past 62 years the average F5 tornado kills 22 people. However, the F5 tornadoes in this time period had death tolls ranging from 0 to 158. The deadliest F5 tornado in U.S. history killed 695 people.

At least 134 people were killed by tornadoes in 2007, including 81 in the U.S.

Most tornadoes in Canada do not kill at all. Those that do usually do not kill more than 2 or 3. The deadliest tornado in Canadian history killed 28 people.

Yes, span of control may be less of a concern for incidents resolved within the initial operational period because the command structure is more focused and resources are typically highly coordinated. With a quick resolution, there may be fewer layers of management required. However, maintaining clear communication and oversight is still important to ensure effective response and management.

If the burn happened within the last minute or two, immerse the hand in cold (but not freezing) water. This is to reduce the temperature of the hand -- it might still be burning. Hold it in the cold water for a few minutes, then dry by patting with a clean cloth. If it's just reddened but the skin isn't hurt, that's a first degree burn -- there's really not a lot you need to do. Treat it delicately, if you want to use a burn cream, especially one with a topical painkiller, go ahead. If you have blisters, this is a second degree burn. If one or two fingertips are blistered, and there's nothing else wrong with you, you can probably handle this at home. If they entire hand is blistered, this is a job for the ER. Somewhere in between, you'll have to make your own decision. You can always call your doctor or ER when in doubt. If you decide to treat this at home, DON'T pop the blisters. Nature will take care of that. Wrap the hand loosely and gently in clean or sterile gauze. This is to protenct the hand. Don't move the hand in such a way that flexes the burned areas. When the blisters pop, get out the sterile gear. Gently dab the wound dry, and trim away any dead skin -- and ONLY dead skin. If you have silvadene (Silver sulfazine), this is a good time to apply it. If not, gently apply betadyne to the raw, new skin, and let it air dry, then sover with a sterile gauze in order to protect and keep it clean. Some folks like antimicrobial creams. They keep the wound moist. I personally don't -- they act as adhesives for micbrobes and dirt. However, this is a matter of opinion, and there are good arguments on both sides. Keep this wound dry. Check it and re-bandage every time it gets wet or every 1-2 days. If you've burned your hand so badly that most of the surface skin is gone, and the wound has a blackened look, or the well-known "fried chicken skin" appearance, that's a 3rd degree burn. Wrap the burn very gently in sterile (if you have em) gauze or clean cloth (if you don't have sterile), and head for the ER. If you're a distance from help, and have very clean or sterile water, you can wrap the 3rd degree burn in damp strips of bandage, then in guaze. Start heading for help ASAP. Treat the victim of third degree burns for shock. Do not apply butter or oil. Except as noted above, do not apply creams. all this stuff will have to be cleaned off at the ER, and that can HURT.

Q: What type of correctional program is used to plan the best way to control or prevent hazards in the event of an emergency?

In general, in a school setting, qualified individuals to use an AED would include trained school personnel, such as teachers, administrators, and staff members. Additionally, it is highly recommended to have first responders, such as school nurses or designated medical personnel, who have received formal training and certification in the use of AEDs. It is important to ensure that these individuals are adequately trained and have up-to-date certifications on AED usage and CPR skills.

It all depends on the situation.

If you are in an emergency in the USA you should call 911. In the UK it is 999.

After you have been in an accident and already called 911 call 411 PAIN.

if you cannot find the phone number for the person you wish to call dial 0 and the next available operator will be at your service.

The Incident Commanders within the Unified Command are responsible for managing and coordinating the response efforts during an incident. They work together to make decisions, allocate resources, and ensure effective communication among all involved agencies and organizations. The Incident Commanders may come from different agencies or jurisdictions, but they work collaboratively to prioritize the safety and well-being of the responders and the public.
