Summary
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this chapter is to identify the principles and practices for training those who respond and provide care to victims of disasters. To understand adequately the scope of disaster education and training, it is first necessary to have an appreciation of its interdisciplinary nature, the health and medical operational system, and how education and training fits within the broader organizational learning context. This discussion is limited to conveying an overview of the process used to develop and deliver education and training to support organizational performance in emergencies and disasters. What follows is a discussion of important background concepts and the basic theory used in instructional design, with examples of disaster education and training for various medical and health target audiences. At the conclusion of this chapter, the reader will be able to
▪ Explain the overall context for disaster health education efforts
▪ Describe the Instructional System Development (ISD) approach to developing education and training programs
▪ Identify various examples of disaster health education and training programs for various audiences
STATE OF THE ART
Disaster Health
Disaster education and training is interdisciplinary by nature and addresses all hazards. In October 2004, a World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine seminar was convened to discuss disaster education and training. As reported by Murray and others, the group defined “disaster” as “a major event which actually or potentially threatens the health status of a community.” They recognized these major events could be the result of any type of hazard.
