Version 15.0908 CRISIS AND EMERGENCY RISK COMMUNICATION Pandemic Influenza August 2006 Revised October 2007 The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with vital communication concepts and tools to assist in preparing for and responding to a severe influenza pandemic in the United States.The focus of the book is on the possibility of a severe pandemic. Although the concepts do apply to less intense public health challenges, they may not need to be executed at the same level of intensity. This book is intended to be used as an addition to the CDC Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication coursebook (Reynolds, Galdo, Sokler, 2002) and the Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication: By Leaders for Leaders coursebook (Reynolds, 2004). The concepts in this book do not replace, but, instead, build on the first two books. This book shares foundational concepts that will support your communication work and should be relevant even as the circumstances surrounding a severe pandemic may change. Nonetheless, the information in this book is current as of October 2007. As major events occur, especially related to countermeasures such as pandemic vaccine development, some assumptions may change. Importantly, this book explains in more depth the communication challenges to be expected in a severe influenza pandemic. This is not a primer on pandemic influenza and is not the place to turn to for up-to-date message maps, communication tools, and pandemic preparedness and planning information. The “go-to” place for evolving information is the U. S. Government Pandemic Flu website at http://www.pandemicflu. gov. At www.pandemicflu.gov you will find resource materials for creating communication products, as well as additional guidance on planning. HHS and CDC are engaged in a number of research and development projects related to pandemic communication. Check the website regularly for updates. ii CDC • Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication: Pandemic Influenza Made possible by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) In partnership with: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of the Director, Office of Enterprise Communication (OEC) Coordinating Office of Health Information Services, National Center for Health Marketing Written by Barbara Reynolds, M.A, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention In collaboration with: Shana Deitch, M.P.H. & Richard Schieber, M.D., M.P.H., Capt.

Be right. Be credible. risk (ri˘sk) n. 1. The possibility of suffering a harmful event. 2. A factor or course involving uncertain danger. Crisis and emergency risk communication is a vital component of public health emergency response. The initial objectives for public information releases from response authorities early in a crisis are: 1) to prevent further illness, injury, or death; 2) to restore or maintain calm; and 3) to engender confidence in the operational response (National Response Plan, 2005). Because emergencies are chaotic, planning should be directed at simplifying roles and responsibilities to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number while maintaining enough resources to reach those few who can’t help themselves (Clarke, 2003; Seeger, Sellnow, & Ulmer, 2003). Mitroff said about preparing for crises, “We must improve dramatically our abilities to ‘think about the unthinkable’’’ (2004, p. 11). Among these crises, the one most likely to directly involve the greatest number of persons in the United States is a major respiratory-transmitted infectious disease outbreak such as pandemic influenza. In this widespread emergency, public health response officials would need to communicate messages to the public asking them to take particular actions and refrain from other actions (e.g., engage in cough etiquette and refrain from gathering in groups). An influenza pandemic of a highly pathogenic strain that occurs in our technologically advanced society—where instant horizontal communication takes place around the clock—will severely tax the ability of public health crisis response officials to provide accurate, timely, consistent, and credible information to the U.S. population (Reynolds et al., 2002). Emergency messages will need to be communicated to a highly diverse U.S. population and to cultures around the world. CDC • Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication 1 Introduction

JANUARY 2016 PAGE 2 OF 48 COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY HAZARD IDENTIFICATION MANAGEMENT PLAN AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Analysis (HIVA) for the City of Olympia identifies various hazards in the region and then assesses the risk associated with each hazard. The City of Olympia Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, which facilitates each phase of emergency management, is built upon and designed to coordinate with this HIVA in accordance with WAC 118-30-060 (1) which states, “Each political subdivision must base its Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan on a hazard analysis.” This HIVA serves as a foundation for city planning including preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery activities and is a training tool, providing introductory knowledge of the hazards in City of Olympia. The data contained within the HIVA is not original, but extracted from many sources. The HIVA assesses potential hazards within the city, and surrounding areas with a focus on hazards that have the potential to cause large-scale disasters as well as hazards with less severe impacts that still require significant planning and response efforts to mitigate or neutralize. Even if the City of Olympia is not directly impacted by a hazard there is still a potential for significant indirect impact on the city as various critical infrastructure systems owned, operated, or utilized by the City extend beyond its borders.

    Disaster Management of India

    DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN INDIA DISASTER MANAGEMENT 2011 This book has been prepared under the GoI-UNDP Disaster Risk Reduction Programme (2009-2012) DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN INDIA Ministry of Home Affairs Government of India c Disaster Management in India e ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The perception about disaster and its management has undergone a change following the enactment of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The definition of disaster is now all encompassing, which includes not only the events emanating from natural and man-made causes, but even those events which are caused by accident or negligence. There was a long felt need to capture information about all such events occurring across the sectors and efforts made to mitigate them in the country and to collate them at one place in a global perspective. This book has been an effort towards realising this thought. This book in the present format is the outcome of the in-house compilation and analysis of information relating to disasters and their management gathered from different sources (domestic as well as the UN and other such agencies). All the three Directors in the Disaster Management Division, namely Shri J.P. Misra, Shri Dev Kumar and Shri Sanjay Agarwal have contributed inputs to this Book relating to their sectors. Support extended by Prof. Santosh Kumar, Shri R.K. Mall, former faculty and Shri Arun Sahdeo from NIDM have been very valuable in preparing an overview of the book. This book would have been impossible without the active support, suggestions and inputs of Dr. J. Radhakrishnan, Assistant Country Director (DM Unit), UNDP, New Delhi and the members of the UNDP Disaster Management Team including Shri Arvind Sinha, Consultant, UNDP.

    Types of Landslides.Indd

    Landslide Types and Processes andslides in the United States occur in all 50 States. The primary regions of landslide occurrence and potential are the coastal and mountainous areas of California, Oregon, Land Washington, the States comprising the intermountain west, and the mountainous and hilly regions of the Eastern United States. Alaska and Hawaii also experience all types of landslides. Landslides in the United States cause approximately $3.5 billion (year 2001 dollars) in dam- age, and kill between 25 and 50 people annually. Casualties in the United States are primar- ily caused by rockfalls, rock slides, and debris flows. Worldwide, landslides occur and cause thousands of casualties and billions in monetary losses annually. The information in this publication provides an introductory primer on understanding basic scientific facts about landslides—the different types of landslides, how they are initiated, and some basic information about how they can begin to be managed as a hazard.

  • Pediculosis (Lice, Head Lice, Body Lice, Pubic Lice, Cooties, Crabs) Fact Sheet

    Pediculosis (Lice, Head Lice, Body Lice, Pubic Lice, Cooties, Crabs) Fact Sheet

    New York State Department of Health Pediculosis (lice, head lice, body lice, pubic lice, cooties, crabs) Last Reviewed: November 2006 What is pediculosis? Pediculosis is an infestation of the hairy parts of the body or clothing with the eggs, larvae or adults of lice. The crawling stages of this insect feed on human blood, which can result in severe itching. Head lice are usually located on the scalp, crab lice in the pubic area and body lice along seams of clothing. Body lice travel to the skin to feed and return back to the clothing. Who gets pediculosis? Anyone may become louse infested under suitable conditions of exposure. Pediculosis is easily transmitted from person to person during direct contact. Head lice infestations are frequently found in school settings or institutions. Crab lice infestations can be found among sexually active individuals. Body lice infestation can be found in people living in crowded, unsanitary conditions where clothing is infrequently changed or laundered. How is pediculosis spread? For both head lice and body lice, transmission can occur during direct contact with an infested individual. Sharing of clothing and combs or brushes may also result in transmission of these insects. While other means are possible, crab lice are most often transmitted through sexual contact. What are the symptoms of pediculosis? Usually, the first indication of an infestation is the itching or scratching in the area of the body where the lice feed. Scratching at the back of the head or around the ears should lead to an examination for head louse eggs (nits) on the hair.

    UNAIDS | 2020 COVID-19 AND HIV: 1 MOMENT 2 EPIDEMICS 3 OPPORTUNITIES How to seize the moment to learn, leverage and build a new way forward for everyone’s health and rights Contents 2 Foreword 3 Key messages 4 Introduction 6 Learning from the HIV response to effectively address COVID-19 14 Leveraging the HIV infrastructure to strengthen, accelerate and sustain responses to COVID-19 19 Reimagining systems for health 25 Key recommendations for the COVID-19 response 27 References Foreword The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the inadequacy of investments in public health, the persistence of profound economic and social inequalities and the fragility of many key global systems and approaches. Given the epic dimensions of the emergency, the world needs unity and solidarity—led by a large-scale, coordinated and comprehensive health response, and a focus on the needs of developing countries. Our decades-long fight against HIV offers essential lessons. This new report by UNAIDS examines how the experience of tackling HIV can help inform and guide effective, efficient, people-centred and sustainable COVID-19 responses. In fighting HIV, the world was confronted with a new, serious and multifaceted health crisis. Successful international efforts were rooted in a focus on innovation, respect for human rights and gender equality, community-based solutions and a commitment to leave no one behind. Decades of investment in the HIV response have created platforms that are proving useful in battling COVID-19—just as they were in responding to the 2014–2015 Ebola outbreak in western and central Africa. By being smart and strategic, we can leverage the HIV infrastructure to accelerate COVID-19 responses.

With the holiday season coming to a close, I look forward to the upcoming events and the new calendar year. Our membership is always out in the community doing great things for veterans, and being a general positive light for all of our brothers and sisters in arms. During the 2017 holiday season, we hosted our first ever Thanksgiving meal for Veterans in the community that may not have family to spend it with. The idea was thought up and executed by our bar manager, Kourtenay Main, and was a great time and I hope we can continue to host this each and every year. Christmas is a time to spend with family and enjoy the good things in life. The post was closed Christmas day to allow our family to spend time with their families. Even as Christmas closed in, our membership still worked hard to ensure that our Veterans were taken care of. I am so proud of the people that make post 1650 what it. Every time I think that there isn’t anything more we can do, the membership of post 1650 proves me wrong.
