Wednesday Course Descriptions
Danger & Opportunity: Multidisciplinary Disaster Planning - Now and After the Dust Settles
Speaker(s): Eva Marie Williams and Linda Brown
Time: Wednesday, July 11th at 2:45pm
Length: 90 minutes
In this 2-hour presentation, participants will learn to identify important components of a disaster plan, to analyze a disaster situation, and to recognize and understand post-disaster stress. The presenters will offer brief didactic instruction and the remainder of the class will be organized around activities designed to assist participants in applying skills to a simulated disaster. Participants will also view an actual mass-casualty disaster situation, responding to video from the July 1981 walkway collapse at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency in which 114 people lost their lives and another 200+ were injured. Participants will examine how a disaster plan could be applied to this actual situation, analyze the situation portrayed in the video, and observe and respond to statements and descriptions of post-traumatic stress experienced by first responders to this disaster.
Goals:
- Identify components of a disaster plan
- Analyze a disaster situation
- Recognition and Understanding of post-disaster stress.
