Name four natural calamities. Mention their effects and remedies.
Answers
Answer:
Earthquakes:
The abrupt and violent nature of earthquakes mean many injuries are due to falling objects. After an earthquake, a hospital is more likely to encounter crush injuries and if at night, many of those injuries will be focused on the pelvis, chest and legs since many victims will have been laying down. Conversely, if the earthquake takes place during the daytime, the hospital is likely to see an influx of head trauma and lacerations from broken glass or other material.
Floods:
In the United States, floods account for more deaths than all other disasters on this list. A hospital must be ready to encounter victims that have been exposed to the elements for long periods of time before they could be rescued. Hypothermia, trauma from falling debris, and lacerations are just a few of the injuries a hospital will encounter during a flood.
Hurricanes:
During a hurricane, a hospital must be equipped to withstand the hurricane itself as well as provide medical care to the victims. Like many disasters, hurricanes can cause secondary events such as storm surges that can be deadly and provide their own set of specific injuries.
Second to the storm surge, winds are the second most lethal facet of a hurricane. Wind can send large objects flying as well as collapse structures. Lacerations and crush injuries are common.
Tornadoes:
Since tornadoes often occur with little to no warning, many victims are in structures when they hit. This means crush injuries are common. Also common are lacerations from flying projectiles such as glass or anything else the wind catches. If a victim is caught outside during a tornado, they will often exhibit an abrasion on their skin from being hit by accelerated elements such as soil and water. Compound fractures, which have an increased chance of infection, are also somewhat more common during a tornado.
