The increase in these types of incidents was observed by National School Safety and Security Services and incorporated into our training programs over two years prior to the Columbine High School tragedy. A number of high-profile incidents involving bombs and bomb threats took place prior to ...

disasters have occurred. In general, any Emergency management is the continuous process by which all individuals, groups, and communities manage hazards in an effort to avoid or ameliorate the impact of disasters resulting from the hazards. Actions taken depend in part on perceptions of risk of those exposed. 2 Effective emergency management relies on thorough integration of emergency plans at all levels of government and non-government involvement. Activities at each level (individual, group, community) affect the other levels. It is common to place the responsibility for governmental emergency management with the institutions for

BOSTON (May 3, 2010) — Best practices for managing medical emergencies in dental clinics have evolved over the past decade to account for advances in knowledge and the development of new medications and medical equipment.

I’m reacting to a lot of personal change this month: the flood of the millennium, finalizing a divorce after 18 months of delay, moving, and a radically different summer schedule than I expected all contribute to feeling a bit overwhelmed (and being somewhat behind on blog posts). I had some warnings that some of those things were likely to happen, but I didn’t realize they would all come together at one time. In the business world, several crisis or major changes are likely to converge as well. There may be some indications of coming changes in the marketplace, technology shifts and changes in consumer spending, ...

The U.S. government faced the same challenge on a national scale. The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, was created in late 2002 to review how the attacks occurred, how to respond and to provide recommendations to thwart future attacks. A federal law ...

When we think of disasters, the last words that comes to mind are "calm," "simple" or "methodical." The image rises, straight out of a disaster movie or news account of the horrific earthquakes and floods that have plagued our planet of late, of a family frantically running away from explosions, collapses or rising tides. But the deputy coordinator of the township’s Emergency Management Council, Millburn Police Lt. Peter Eakley, advocates a more prosaic and cool-headed way of looking at it. Eakley advises us to take an "all-hazards" approach, making one plan for emergencies of all shapes ...

CAPE MAY POINT — With this seaside borough vulnerable to the fury of the sea and populated by a number of rental properties, a group of volunteers and the borough’s emergency management team prepared a comprehensive hurricane preparedness checklist to be widely distributed this month as hurricane season heats up.

I am looking for sample emergency procedures for a SMALL medical

with 3 employees. The plans for a large hospital just done make sense
