Disaster:A disaster is an event that most often occurs suddenly and
unexpectedly, causing trauma to people and/or severe
damage to the environment, and exceeds or overwhelms the
response capacity of the affected community.
Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability/Capacity

Their developmental statusLack of experience and knowledge about how to seek helpLack of insight regarding their own distress.

The psychological and emotional needs of children are often neglected following disasters, particularly when parents and other adults in their lives are having trouble coping with the event themselves.

Destroyed roads, lack of electricity, inoperable telephone communications, difficult terrain, high altitudes and harsh weather make it difficult to know what is happening in the affected areasYou serve as a consultant helping to organize and coordinate the emergency response
What is your first recommendation?
![Page 11: Steve Berman MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics and ... · Steve Berman MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics and Director, Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, University](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022040523/5e87d4fae910561f730ee6f6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Within 48 hours rapid assessment teams are flown into the affected areas by military helicopter Doctors, nurses, surgeons, kidney specialistsPsychologistsSocial workersLogisticiansWater and sanitation expertsFlight-transport specialists

Tens of thousands of people are affected and are sleeping outside with little shelter from cold and rainThousands have severe wounds including fractures, spinal cord injuries, crush injuries, lacerations, and infectionsMost hospitals have been destroyed
What do you recommend?

Set up field hospitals and medical tents to relieve partially functioning hospitalsArrange transport of critical patients from affected areas to out of area hospitalsObtain additional dialysis machines to handle large numbers of patients with renal failure secondary to “crush” injuries Provide mental heath services and counseling (psychologists)

Disaster response training at the local level should be a community process involving the health sector (physicians, nurses, hospital, health clinics, private physicians), municipal agencies (fire department , police, sanitation and garbage)) disaster response agencies (CONRED, red cross) schools, churches, and community groups such as the Rotary and Lions clubs).
![Page 22: Steve Berman MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics and ... · Steve Berman MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics and Director, Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, University](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022040523/5e87d4fae910561f730ee6f6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Educate Pediatricians, physicians, nurses, other health care
personnel, rescue teams and community workers about the
needs of children in disaster preparedness and emergency
response.
Establish national and regional PEDS training centers to carry
out “train the trainer” activities.
Facilitate collaborations among professional societies, PAHO,
hospitals, medical schools, and local, regional, and national
governmental agencies related to pediatric disaster
preparedness and response.

You are working as a local emergency dispatch worker when you are notified that a bomb has gone off at a nearby outside crowded market place. There appear to be fatalities and some survivors are complaining of nausea with and without vomiting. You and your team proceed to the scene where it is determined that there is radiation exposure from a dirty bomb.
![Page 36: Steve Berman MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics and ... · Steve Berman MD, FAAP, Professor of Pediatrics and Director, Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, University](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022040523/5e87d4fae910561f730ee6f6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

You enter the market place and find several people standing around looking dazed and one person is vomiting. You identify close by a hysterical young mother with a crying infant in her arms; a man, around 20 years old, and a pre-school age girl are lying on the ground with obvious injuries and bleeding, but they both appear conscious. One woman looks badly injured, she is not responsive and without a detectable pulse.
