Healthcare Challenges After Radiological Incidents Webinar (7-11-2018)
This webinar (being held Wednesday, July 11, from 2:00-3:15 ET) will feature panelists discussing the impact and potential solutions of different event types and providing guidance and lessons learned in assessing, triaging, treating, and following-up on casualties of radiological and nuclear emergencies.
NOTE: the discussion features Rich Kozub, Special Operations, Middlesex County Public Health Preparedness Division as a speaker.
Space is limited--register for this webinar today. Doing so ensures you will receive notification once the webinar recording is available.
New Resource Available: Nerve Agent MCM Contingency Guidance
The attached document reflects work completed by the Chemical Defense Program within the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It is intended to provide a ‘contingency’ pathway for medical countermeasures use in the setting of a mass casualty event resulting from the use of nerve agent. It describes the use of ophthalmic atropine drops in place of IV or IM use of atropine, as well as the use of other ophthalmic preparations, for both adult and pediatric patients. Please share these new algorithms, and the accompanying explanatory document, across relevant health care coalition stakeholders, but especially hospital emergency departments, EMS response agencies, Hazmat response entities, and poison control centers.
RESPONDING TO THE DISABILITIES AND ACCESS AND FUNCTIONAL NEEDS COMMUNITY
During the training, attendees will learn about how New Jersey has embraced the whole community philosophy by engaging people with disabilities and access and functional needs (DAFN) in its CERT program. By starting at the municipal level, these CERTs help improve and enhance emergency preparedness and response efforts—from helping individuals with DAFN create personal preparedness plans to ensuring accessibility is restored following disasters. Strategies on how to best involve and serve individuals with DAFN in relation to the CERT program will be discussed.
In coordination with the State Office of Emergency Management, and at the behest of East Greenwich Twp. OEM, Gloucester County is hosting an evening presentation of this workshop, which was originally tailored for delivery to CERT Programs. The information is certainly applicable to everyone who may deal with these individuals, and encourages us to engage with them in a variety of ways, to their benefit and ours. An evening offering of this course allows for many in the Emergency Management/Public Safety community to attend, whereas the daytime course offerings regionally delivered recently likely conflicted with the professional and/or personal obligations of many.
The workshop is being held on Wednesday July 25, from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM, at the Business & Corporate Center Auditorium BCC-500, on the campus of Rowan College @ Gloucester County, 1400 Tanyard Rd., Sewell, NJ 08080. (See Bldg. # 6 on the campus facility map).
ASPR Regional Treatment Network for Ebola and Other Special Pathogens Report
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) developed a regional treatment network for Ebola and future infectious disease outbreaks using Ebola emergency supplemental appropriations. This Regional Ebola Treatment Network Report, prepared by ASPR’s Division of National Healthcare Preparedness Programs, is in response to a request by the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations. This report demonstrates the department’s plans, including funding and timetables, for each tier in the regional system outlining capabilities for infrastructure, training, and other key parameters, such as waste management.
Patient Decontamination Following Chemical Incidents
This web page provides information about two resources developed by the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security for managing mass exposure chemical incidents: Patient Decontamination in a Mass Chemical Exposure Incident: National Planning Guidance for Communities, and Primary Response Incident Scene Management (PRISM) Guidance. It also provides information about future guidance.
Webinar: Combating Human Trafficking - The Role of Fire and EMS
EMS and fire personnel may see and treat victims of human trafficking or may visit locations where victims are being housed. These visits provide opportunities to identify indicators of potential human trafficking situations, enabling fire and EMS personnel to notify appropriate authorities for further investigation.
Human trafficking is a crime and a human rights violation. Exploited victims are often forced or coerced into labor or sexual abuse situations. Learning common signs and indicators of human trafficking is important to identifying and reporting possible cases.
The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) and the International Association of Fire Chiefs are hosting a webinar on Thursday, July 12, 2018 starting at 2 p.m. Eastern. “Combating Human Trafficking: The Role of Fire and EMS” will feature experts from the Department of Homeland Security and USFA.
After this webinar, you will be able to define human trafficking, identify trafficking indicators in patients and know how to report trafficking to authorities.
This information is distributed on behalf of the USFA’s National Fire Programs Division’s Prevention and Information Branch.
