"Disaster prevention and the mitigation of climate change effects call for global action. Joint efforts are required among countries, economic sectors, and public and private stakeholders. Not surprisingly, international organizations, such as the United Nations agencies, propose policy frameworks aimed at worldwide influence. The 2015-2030 Sendai Framework seeks to create consensus about the need to act for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation. A key goal is to promote investments in risk reduction and resilience. But how useful is this policy framework? What does it say, and what does it overlook? How can it be implemented among vulnerable communities, in historic sites, and in other sensitive locations affected by disasters? In this book, prominent scholars and practitioners examine the successes and failures of the Sendai Framework. Their case studies show that, despite its good intentions, the Framework achieves very little. The main reason is that, while avoiding a political engagement, it fails to deal with disasters' root causes and guide the difficult path of effective implementation. The authors bring a fresh look to international policy and design practices, highlighting cross-disciplinary research avenues, and ideas and methods for low-income communities, cities and heritage sites in Portugal, Haiti, the United States, the Philippines, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, among other countries. Global action requires collaboration between heterogeneous stakeholders, but also the recognition of inequalities, power imbalances, and social and environmental injustices."--

From the San Diego wildfires to multi-drug-resistant strains of bacteria, communities are facing an ever-growing list of potential disasters. Some events, like pandemic flu or anthrax attacks, are public health emergencies first and foremost. Hurricane Katrina taught us, however, that lack of planning for the frail, elderly, and impoverished population can turn a natural disaster into a healthcare nightmare and lead to needless death and suffering. Emergency managers and public health professionals must integrate their prevention and response efforts to serve their communities most effectiv

Présentation de l'éditeur : "Se préparer, organiser et optimiser la prise en charge des victimes en coordonnant l'action pluridisciplinaire des professionnels de santé (services secours et médicaux. La survenue d'un attentat terroriste, brutal, violent et imprévisible est une menace actuelle. En particulier, les attentats terroristes peuvent provoquer de nombreuses victimes à l'origine d'afflux massif sinon saturant. Aux modes opératoires très variés : explosion, arme à feu, menace nucléaire radiologique bactériologique chimique, les attaques terroristes sont à l'origine de lésions et de blessures tout aussi diverses. La prise en charge immédiate nécessite une bonne coordination des équipes médicales avec les forces d'intervention. L'organisation des secours doit permettre l'application de gestes de sauvetage essentiels pour assurer la survie des blessés. À leur accueil à l'hôpital, l'orientation des victimes suit des plans dédiés à la prise en charge de nombreuses victimes grâce à l'ensemble des équipes d'urgence, anesthésie-réanimation et chirurgicales. La stratégie de damage control s'applique comme un principe de prise en charge de sauvetage, depuis les lieux de l'attaque jusqu'au bloc opératoire. Les bilans de biologie et de radiologie suivent également un principe de prescription raisonnée et dédiée. Destiné aux médecins et aux infirmiers des équipes médicales pré-hospitalière et hospitalière, cet ouvrage se propose de présenter les particularités de la prise en charge des blessés par attentat terroriste, sur les lieux immédiats de l'attaque, puis à l'hôpital et enfin pour la prise en charge psychologique des victimes et de leur entourage"
