Emergency Preparedness

We do not know. In 'The End' Sunny Baudelaire accuses Count Olaf of this crime and he replies "Is that what you think?"

and Sunny replies "We know so"

he then replies to that with "You know nothing"

When you are outside during an earthquake, it is best to just go under anything hard and safe.

If you are at a school or open area, avoid ANY trees, power lines, or buildings that could damage your head or back (or anything, really) in any way

and duck and cover. If you're in a car, stop the car and stay in the car.

Hope this helped!

A tornado watch is given out if general weather conditions favor the formation of tornadoes over the next few hours. A PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tornado watch may be issued if conditions favor the formation of strong to violent tornadoes. A tornado watch usually covers an area at least the size of a state.

A tornado warning is issued if a tornado has been spotted or detected or the threat of one is imminent. A tornado emergency is an informal variety of tornado warning meaning that a large tornado is approaching a populated area and is expected to cause major damage. A tornado warning usually covers an area about the size of a county.

Tornadoes can lift people up, but they usually are thrown out of the vortex before being carried very high. Most of the people killed in tornadoes are struck or crushed by debris.

Income is important because with it, we can afford the things we desire, such as paying our rent or mortgages as well as pay our other bills, like car payments, life insurance, and the food and water that we consume.

The most destructive single tornado on record was the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 which causes $2.8 billion in damage. The most destructive level of tornado is an EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale (the Joplin tornado was an EF5). Such tornadoes wipe well-built houses clean off their foundations.

Ideally, you should have as many rolls as you need for 1 week for everyone using that bathroom (assuming you have someplace to keep it - otherwise in a nearby closet). Somewhere in the house should be a two to three-week supply that is replenished when it reaches one week's supply. Any more than that would probably be excessive.

*This is obviously more important if you have a preferred brand, in the event that it becomes temporarily unavailable.

Usually the AED will have a recommendation on it for the usage for which pads are available, however anyone who is pulseless under the age of 6 should use the child pads according to NYS EMS Protocols.

First of all warn others and send a distress signal.

Ensure that people are equipped to abandon the boat.

Fight the fire if it is safe to do so.

If the fire can not be extinguished, abandon the boat.

what is the cause of a heartattack ?

Always. If you witnessed the collapse, immediate application of the AED offers the best chance of successful defibrillation. If the patient does not need defibrillation (only two heart rhythms are shocked by an AED), the AED won't attempt it, so applying one can't hurt, and it may save a life.

Hook up the AED when the absence of a pulse is confirmed.

The team of first responders should exercise self-protection.

Foods containing protein, carbohydrates, calories, vitamins, and minerals. But you also need to drink enough water to help digest these foods. If you have little or no water eat little until you find a water source. Digestion uses up the body's supply of water.

Mobile homes are very easy to be destroyed in severe weather like tornado. Among all people killed in tornado between 2000 to 2008, nearly half were killed in mobile homes. They can be easily destroyed by a comparitively weak tornado.

1. you dont wait until you actually see a tornado you go to a low level room with a radio flashlights and mattresses
2. listen to the radio and what says about the warning
3. if the warning has been cancelled then you may get out

Under Unified Command (UC) there is no individual who is "incident commander"; there is a jointly operated command post, jointly created objectives, unified incident action plan, and a single Operations Section Chief who is usually selected from the agency having the most involvement.

There are no "other incident commanders" in a Unified Command. There are, however, designated representatives from each agency playing a major role in the UC.

For example, at a large fire incident, the local fire chief (the initial IC) may decide to implement UC by "establishing unified command", allowing all other agencies to participate in the top-level objectives and planning, but retaining Operations management for ALL tactics being implemented. Once UC is in effect, there is no individual who is the IC.

The UC command post will coordinate all fire, ems, police, hazmat, highway, power, water and other objectives and issue plans to be carried out under the Operations Chief, who will have resources assigned from each participating agency. Those resources retain their own agency jurisdiction and legal authority, but coordinated through the UC and Operations.

Even for a small incident, such as a traffic accident, there may be UC where fire, police and EMS must coordinate with overlapping jurisdiction. The UC can establish objectives for scene safety, traffic detour, fire suppression, extrication, patient assessment and transport, vehicle removal, road cleanup and repair, and orderly demobilization of resources when their respective objectives have been met.

An (AED) automated external defibrillator is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart that will restore the natural heart rhythm to the victim during a cardiac arrest.

When the AED electrodes are applied to the victim's chest, it automatically analyzes the heart rhythm and the rescuer is then advised whether a shock is needed to regain a normal heart beat. The heart has been defibrillated when the victim's heart resumes normal beating.

A reverse 911 call is when the 911 system is used to autmatically dial all telephone numbers in a specific geographic area. This is typically done to relay important information quickly to all residents in that area. Typically used in conjuction with a police search for an escapee or a natural disaster.

No. Twister is just an informal word for a tornado.

Do not use the AED if the person has a pulse.

Restoring the heart rhythm by using electrical shock is called defibrillation.

No. A tornado watch means the general weather conditions are favorable for tornadoes. If a tornado has been sighted then a tornado warning is issued.

• Enables all agencies with responsibility to manage an incident together by establishing a common set of incident objectives and strategies.
