It is important that you understand how to prevent a fire and what to do in the event of a fire. You may be required to be invoived in food preparation in your role as a carer. You will need to have an understanding of the principles of safe food handling. Infection control is about controlling the spread of communicable diseases between service users, staff, and visitor. the service users we care for are often particulary vulnerable to infection, and as such we need to be extra careful, clothes can pick up infection and pass it from one service user to another.
Weather is unique and can strike at any moment, this is why planning and preparation is important. The process in determining whether or not a storm will hit an area is to track the storm and contact the area that may be affected. Storms can quickly get complicated and communications are essential to prepare them for the storms (Kung, 2011). An organization should never rely on one source of communication but have several backups. With storms there may be no warning or little warning and should be placed in a reactive mode.
All of these flaws in their practices serve as input to their lessons learned and how to better plan for these types of natural disasters. There should have been a response team readily available to send Emergency Broadcast Messages. Katrina revealed how weak our system was. I would hope that these lessons learned have resulted in more research, detailed disaster and evacuation plans, clear roles and responsibilities, and communication at every level. This horrific event left scars across our nation.
Emergency Disaster Plan Julieann Dooley American Sentinel University Emergency Disaster Plan The purpose of this paper is to assess the community for potential disasters that could result in mass casualties, including what disasters are predictable, and what if any measures can be taken to prevent or minimize injuries, death, or destruction. It will also discuss who is responsible for disaster management in the community, what plans are in place for warning people and for communicating which actions to take in the event of a disaster, and if the people are aware of these plans. It will also talk about what social and cultural factors need to be considered in disaster planning in the community, if there are vulnerable populations with special needs, and if an evacuation of the community is mandated what are the plans for the evacuation of these groups. Lastly it will discuss what emergency supplies the health care facility has available in the event of a disaster, what provisions have been made available for vulnerable patients in the event the power goes out, and how would patients be evacuated from the facility to safe shelters. Community Assessment Tulare County is a small rural area in central California, mostly comprised of farms and dairies.
These spokespersons will receive an effective brief earlier to beginning their transferal. Giving the public and private sectors, a brief explanation of what went wrong and the steps necessary to contain the situation will help to maintain calm and control of panic. Not everyone is going to want to lend a helping hand, therefore the organization must utilize the volunteers that they have. The most common challenge that the company faces is language obstacles. The corporation should make arrangements so that they have an interpreter for all the main languages, so the message can be delivered to
The ambulance and paramedics will need this because some people will get aggressive when the paramedics try and help them, this is because they may be frightened or confused, and knowing these signs will help the service to calm them down and use the best techniques available to them. The Fire Service has to deal with people in the same way as this, if they are injured and trapped in a car, they will have to calm the person down, so that they may begin extracting them from
This can help others understand and know what you need and want from a certain situation without causing distress or tension for both the resident and the member of staff. 1.2 Explain how effective communication affects all aspects of own work. If there wasn’t effective communication between staff members then you wouldn’t know what was expected of you for that shift. You need to be informed with any changes e.g. a resident has fallen over, so that you can make sure that you can keep an eye on that resident to prevent further injury and observe for any injury that already may have been caused due to the fall.
Facilities should set the guidelines for punishment and make it known across the entire facility, but if a supervisor recognizes the violation, they should handle the punishment, and making human resources aware of a possible violation. Regulations for investigation of possible privacy violations should also be handled by human resources and administration. Overall review of privacy policies, HIPAA regulations, and private regulations should be in serviced frequently to ensure comprehension to the fullest and the repercussions that would
A fire, can cause sudden panic as it is an unpredictable event. There are certain priorities that should be followed in the case of a fire. The first and most important thing to do would be to inform all service users, medical professionals, staff, visitors and any other persons inside the building that there is a fire. This would be done with the use of a fire alarm, as soon as an individual notices the fire or the signs of a possible fire they should trigger the alarm, in order to alert and inform everyone else of the danger. This would be followed by the second most important priority which would be evacuating all persons from the building.
One way is to have a role of global media coverage that will handle the information about the contaminated water in the area towns. The one effect of the globalization of communication is that reports from the media about the crisis situation can make the government react to the outcome of the media coverage. The way in which the media has to put information out to the public has become an issue of importance itself (Ale, Kersten, Voort, Vos, & Zoeteman, 2010). My team and I can deny any of the false information that the media is putting out, and provide accurate information, which would help keep the public from panicking. These technologies can be used to improve the communication with my team and increase the public trust that the situation is getting
