Sat, 30 January 2010 Welcome to Mitigation Journal the All-Hazards Podcast! Two seperate chemical incidents cause issues of decontamination, quarentine and civilian deaths. But what if it DID happen here? Seems like people are listening to Mitigation Journal! There has been an outburst of mainstream media asking the question "what if" in relation to our situations with natural disasters and bioterrorism. Prediction: We'll see more lone-wolf style terrorist events or smaller, coordinated attack attempts. Comments[0] |

Check out my friends at MedEx Billing at www.medexbilling.com In this edition of Mitigation Journal: I'll go head-to-head to head with members of the "It Can't Happen Here" crowd concerning the earthquake situation in Haiti. The Haiti situation is a global disaster and has implications for the global community. To ignore that fact is to deny our own ability to learn from such situations. It Can Happen Here! Not only can a natural disaster like the earthquake that hit Haiti happen in the USA, it will be worse...maybe much worse. Listen in and hear what I have to say. Turning back the hands of time...The Doomsday Clock reset back one minute...but are we safer? Also, check out the Nukeometer at www.nukeometer.com Budgets, Public Health, and Retail Clinics...my predictions for 2010! Toss the TSA and DHS! The credibility of these two organizations has taken a big beating...as they should. Just when you think they've done all they can to demolish their image...they keep an eight-year-old on a "no-fly" terrorist watch list here in the US. Comments[0] |

Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/mjpodcast Go to www.mitigationjournal.blogspot.com for all the detailed notes on these and other topics! Check out my friends at MedEx Billing at www.medexbilling.com In this edition of Mitigation Journal: It seems simple enough; before you can provide treatment and transportation you have to find the person in need of your service. Actually finding the patient is only part of the job. Providers of emergency medical service (EMS) at all levels must prepare themselves prior to reaching the scene or patient for a variety of potential actions and outcomes. Waiting to arrive on-scene to develop a care plan or mental review of the potential scenarios places both provider and patient at a disadvantage. The fire services use the process of pre-incident planning and size-up to prepare firefighters for potential needs or dangers of any given situation. Pre-incident planning can be used to anticipate additional resources and special needs of a situation. Emergency medical services can and should do the same. EMS and fire service text are filled with acronyms that have become part of daily conversation. Acronyms are memory aids that range from the simple ABCDE’s that remind us of the basics of patient assessment to SLUDGE as a memory jog for organo-phosphate exposure symptoms. In this installment we will introduce the acronym LOCATE as a means of assessing not only the patient, but the scene and patient needs as a whole. Comments[0] |

No such thing as routine events! Recent dumpster fire kills volunteer firefighter...knowing your area and associated threats can make the difference in safe operations. Flu Situation - Has the flu situation been good for public health emergency preparedness? Hard to say at this point but there are some interesting lessons to be learned...if we're finally ready to listen! Also, NYS gets high marks from the Trust for Americas Health in the Ready or Not? 2009 report. Retail health care is on the agenda with flu, too. Local Wegmans grocery chain to begin offering H1N1 vaccine...but should retail centers have been vaccinating sooner? Local use of TXT MSG to alter local college and high school students of live-shooter situation. How will you make the most of social media and TXT MSG for official and unofficial messaging and intel? Acid Attack in Hong Kong. More examples of homemade chemical bombs being used...this time to create MCI. Comments[0] |
