A simulated critical care ward, using a high-fidelity patient simulator, in a university simulation center

Survey purpose was to assess basic knowledge of the hospital disaster plan and its procedures. All the three questionnaires (pre-test, immediate post-test, follow-up test) included the same questions with a different order each time.

The purpose of the study was to examine change in disaster management (DM) competency and inter-professional (IP) attitudes after students completed the online course and simulation with a view to enhancing IP and DM practice.

RaDES concept: a theoretical method for forming, training, and using quickly deployable field teams to provide initial rapid post-disaster assessments.

tudy designed to assess and evaluate how the law shapes the public health system’s preparedness activitiesMultiple-site qualitative case-study to determine both how state and local public health and emergency management agencies are responding to emerging infectious disease threats, bioterrorism, and other public health preparedness challenges and how federal and state laws are shaping those processes.

The threat of pandemic disaster has motivated many collaborative exercises for the purpose of preparation and evaluation. The nature of these exercises depends upon the status of pre-existing expectations for system behavior and the aims of the exercise stakeholders. The contents of this article argue that these exercises may be developed using the same approach as simulation modeling to advantage.

 Objective of survey was to investigate local government organization’s preparedness activities in real emergencies and in training and simulations within the operating emergency operations centres (EOC).
