This module is one of nine modules that have been prepared by INTERWORKS for the
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Disaster Preparedness
office in Geneva. This module can be used as for independent study, as a reference guide
on the subject, and to provide participants at a workshop training event on this topic. It is
intended to accompany the trainer's notes on this topic. Their intended use is global, and
they are written for generalists, planners and professionals with disaster preparedness
and/or emergency response responsibilities both within the Federation and in the National
Societies. Non-governmental organisations interested in disaster preparedness and
preparedness planning, government emergency commissions, local disaster committees and
civil defence training units may also find these modules useful.
This material can be used as:
• A general reference material on disaster preparedness
• Training and workshop modules and trainer's guides
• An orientation to disaster preparedness for Delegates and NS officers
• A guide for assessing or planning disaster preparedness capabilities
It gives you tools to prevent the situation from becoming worse. In some situations if a patient doesn't receive basic first aid care immediately their situation will deteriorate
By planning for recovery before disaster strikes, resources can be allocated more effectively and efficiently, increasing the probability of a rapid and full recovery.
Predictions and warnings can also reduce damage and economic losses. When notice of an impending disaster can be issued well in advance, as it can for some riverine floods, wildfires, and hurricanes, property and natural resources can be protected.
