ACTIVITY
INTRODUCTION
In the past two decades, there
have been many natural and
manmade disasters in India.
Natural disasters like floods,
earthquakes, cyclones,
droughts and human made such
as terrorist acts, Nuclear or
chemical war, fires and
industrial accidents. Disasters
can significantly lead to a
degradation of social and
economic progress achieved
over decades of initiatives by
the people. 80% of countries
geographical area is disaster
prone and the majority of
people live at or below the
poverty line.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
THE TOPIC
Today we will discuss on the
topic ‘Disaster management
and Triage’.
2 min To explain the definition DEFINATION Student teacher explains the What is Disaster?
of the The United Nations defines a disaster as a definition of Disaster.
Disaster serious disruption of the functioning of a
community or a society. Disasters involve
widespread human, material, economic or
environmental impacts, which exceed the
ability of the affected community or society to
cope using its own resources.

The Red Cross and Red Crescent societies

define disaster management as the organisation
and management of resources and
responsibilities for dealing with all
humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in
particular preparedness, response and recovery
in order to lessen the impact of disasters.

Types of Disasters

Types of Disasters. disaster, though vulnerability to disaster varies. types of disaster. of disasters?
There are four main types of disaster-
• Natural disasters: including floods,
hurricanes, earthquakes and volcano
eruptions that have immediate impacts
on human health and secondary impacts
causing further death and suffering
from (for example) floods, landslides,
fires, tsunamis.
• Environmental emergencies: including
technological or industrial accidents,
usually involving the production, use or
transportation of hazardous material,
 and occur where these materials are
produced, used or transported, and
forest fires caused by humans.
• Complex emergencies: involving a
break-down of authority, looting and
attacks on strategic installations,
including conflict situations and war.
• Pandemic emergencies: involving a
sudden onset of contagious disease that
affects health, disrupts services and
businesses, brings economic and social
costs.

PHASES OF DISASTER Student teacher explains the What are the

4 min To discuss the  Pre-impact phase Phases of Disaster. Phases of
Phases of Disaster.  Impact phase Disaster?
 Post-impact phase
1) Pre-impact:
a. Occurs prior to the onset of the
disaster.
b. Includes the period of threat and
warning.
c. May not occur in all disaster.

2) Impact Phase:
a. Period of time when disaster occurs,
continuing to immediately following
disaster.
b. Inventory and rescues period.
Ø Assessment of extent of losses.
Ø Identification of remaining sources.
Ø Planning for-
 · Use of resources
· Rescue of victims
· Minimizing further injuries

Ø May be brief when disasters strike

suddenly and is over in minutes (air plane
clash, building collapse) or lengthy as
incident continues (earthquake, flood,
tsunami etc.)

Post impact phase

a. Occurs when majority of rescue operations
are completed.
b. Remedy and recovery period.
c. Lengthy phase that may last for years.
Ø Honeymoon phase - feeling of euphoria,
appearances of little effect by disaster.
Ø Disillusionment phase - feeling of anger,
disappointment and resentment.
Ø Reconstruction phase - acceptance of loss,
copping with stereo, rebuilding.

To explain the Disaster Disaster Cycle & Management Student teacher explains the What are the
4 min Cycle and Management. disaster cycle and Disaster Cycle
There are three fundamental aspects of disaster management. and Management?
management:
a. disaster response ;
b. disaster preparedness ; and
c. disaster mitigation.

These three aspects of disaster management

correspond to different phases in the so - called
“disaster cycle” as shown in below.
 Disaster Impact
 Mitigation
 Preparedness
 Reconstruction
 Rehabilitation
 Response
 Risk reduction phase before a disaster
 Recovery phase after a disaster 

Disaster impact and response

Medical treatment for large number of
casualties is likely to be needed only after
certain types of disaster. Most injuries are
sustained during the impact, and thus, the
greatest need for emergency care occurs in the
first few hours. The management of mass
casualties can be further divided into search
and rescue, first aid, triage and stabilization of
victims, hospital treatment and redistribution of
patients to other hospitals if necessary.

Disaster prevention
• These are activities designed to provide
permanent protection from disasters.
Not all disasters, particularly natural
disasters, can be prevented, but the risk
of loss of life and injury can be
mitigated with good evacuation plans,
environmental planning and design
standards. In January 2005, 168
Governments adopted a 10-year global
 plan for natural disaster risk reduction
called the Hyogo Framework. It offers
guiding principles, priorities for action,
and practical means for achieving
disaster resilience for vulnerable
communities.

PREPAREDNESS
In addition to helping communities and
families prepare for disasters, our own
preparedness means we are ready to help
communities when a disaster strikes.
Stores of relief items are maintained in most
countries where we work and in strategically-
located disaster response warehouses.
These items include:
 Tarpaulins
 Household kits
 Water carriers
 Reliable access to emergency food
supplies
 Water purification tablets
 Shelter materials
 Cooking utensils
 Blankets

RESPONSE
Our Global Rapid Response Team brings
together international disaster experts from
around the world, who are deployed within
hours of a major emergency to support local
teams and communities.
Our Global Prepositioning Resource Network
(GPRN) ships in emergency supplies
strategically located in four warehouses across
the globe.
The GPRN team also provides other World
Vision staff with visibility items, vehicles and
field communications equipment.
Short-term funding for emergency responses is
also made available through our Emergency
Preparedness Response fund, until other funds,
including government grants and public
appeals become available.
In a large-scale response, we collaborates with
the United Nations and other local aid agencies.
This collaboration helps avoid duplication,
maximise efficiencies, ensure all needs are met
and eliminate gaps in humanitarian response.

RECOVERY
We focus on a number of areas to help children
and families in their recovery following a
disaster:
Water and sanitation
Health and nutrition
Food
Child protection
Education for children
Shelter
Humanitarian protection
Humanitarian advocacy

TRIAGE

INRODUCTION
2 min To introduce the Triage. The word triage is derived from French word
‘trier’ which means “to sort”. Emergency triage
is a sub specialty of emergency nursing which
requires specific comprehensive educational
preparation. During the disaster, the goal is to
maximize the no. of survivors by sorting
treatable from untreatable victims.

colour code. Triage color code. codes of Triage?
Red tags - (immediate) are used to label those
who cannot survive without immediate
treatment but who have a chance of survival.
 Yellow tags - (observation) for those who
require observation (and possible later re-
triage). Their condition is stable for the
moment and, they are not in immediate danger
of death. These victims will still need hospital
care and would be treated immediately under
normal circumstances.

Green tags - (wait) are reserved for the

"walking wounded" who will need medical
care at some point, after more critical injuries
have been treated.

White tags - (dismiss) are given to those with

minor injuries for whom a doctor's care is not
required.

Black tags - (expectant) are used for the

deceased and for those whose injuries are so
extensive that they will not be able to survive
given the care that is available.
