Emergency response system

Dissolve SL tablets under tongue, lack of burning does not indicate loss of potency, use when seated, take at first sign of anginal attack, activate emergency response system if no relief after 3 tablets spaced 5 min apart... 

That shift recognizes that, for effective prevention and preparedness, an instant reaction at the incident site is critically important. International or even national assistance may have a role to play, but what really matters is the local response capacity. This relates not only to the local emergency response systems ( first responders ) but also to the action (or inaction) of citizens (family, neighbours, passers-by) and volunteers arriving at the scene. 

Describe the collaborative relationship of your hospital to other facilities or agencies in the local emergency response system and follow the planned system during drills and emergencies. 

Emergency response systems and health care facilities will need to respond to terrorist chemical attacks in a similar manner as an incident involving hazardous materials. The same principles regarding triage, decontamination, and the allocation of resources in... 

Describe the local emergency response system for disasters. 

Describe the interaction between local, state, and federal emergency response systems. 

The necessity and the role of Emergency Response Systems in a nuclear reactor accident can be understood from the following arguments. 

It is clear that the risks, difficulties and disruption which follow the implementation of these various protective measures are widely different and depend on many factors, including the location of the site and the meteorological conditions at the time of the accident. Thus, if the projected dose information can be provided by a real-time Emergency Response System (ERS) by using various information on the accident plant and meteorological conditions around the site, it must be effective information for countermeasures. In particular, it will be important in the early stage when the information about the nuclear reactor and the environmental aspects is insufficient to grasp the accident situation. 

After the accident at TMI-2 reactor in the United States in March 1979, many emergency response systems to assess environmental consequences have been developed in various countries moreover accuracy and response speed of these systems are remarkably improved, supported by the computer technology which has been considerably developed in the last ten years. 

In many cases due to unknown or uncertain parameters of the release, the estimation of source term characteristics, based on environmental pollution monitoring, is a very important issue for emergency response systems. For example, after the Algeciras accident in Spain (30 May 1998) many European monitors measured peaks of air radioactive contamination, but during several days the reason was unknown. Similar situations had happened after the Chernobyl and many others man-made accidents. After 11 September 2001 this problem became potentially more important due to the risk of possible terrorist actions followed by atmospheric releases of dangerous NBC matters. 

Even if the various components of the emergency response system are designed to be fully coordinated, the system will not function well unless there is a high level of trust among the personnel involved. In particular, there needs to be trust between those inside the fence (professional personnel) and those outside the fence (local officials and the pubhc).

The Health Emergency Response System (HERS) at the Mt. Sinai Hospital receives the call, locates Jane based on the microbot signal through the Global Positioning System, and dispatches an air ambulance to pick her up. 

A physician on duty is alerted by HERS (Health Emergency Response System), and Jane s microbot is now linked with the surgeon s workstation. The physician analyzes the heart condition online based on the data being transmitted by the microbot. 

Transport incidents Dainippon outlines the rapid emergency response system for transportation incidents, and identifies that in 1998 there was one incident. This is described more fully in the CER. 

National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center Modeling System developed at Nevada Test Site is an emergency response system. http //narac.llnl.gov... 

The other physical process being controlled here, public health, must be examined in the same way. There were very few controls over public health instituted in Oakbridge, the community surrounding the plant, and the ones that did exist were inadequate. The public had no training in what to do in case of an emergency, the emergency response system was woefully inadequate, and unsafe development was allowed, such as the creation of a children s park right outside the walls of the plant. The reasons for these inadequacies, as well as the inadequacies of the controls on the physical plant process, are considered in the next section.
