Prior Planning to Avoid Responders Becoming “Victims” During Disasters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Abstract
Prior planning to meet the physical and mental needs of medical and emergency services responder, is a practical measure to reduce staff stress. This has the potential to improve both the operational efficiency of a disaster response and reduce the incidence of post-traumatic stress disorders in responders. Research is needed to define which interventions provide the greatest benefits to local responders.
