Lessons Learned in Disaster Management - The Human Element


IAEM-January-Webcast

Lessons Learned in Disaster Management - Haiti Earthquake - IAEM CEM Live Webcast Series
January 27, 2011 - 1pm to 5pm EST

In the first of a monthly 4-hour live webcast series presented by IAEM and the Knowledge Foundation, webcast participants will have the opportunity to learn valuable disaster management lessons drawn from last year's earthquake in Haiti while also earning 4 CEM credit hours.

At 1:00pm on January 27, Dee Grimm, National Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for BCFS, will present on how the human element affects decision making in a crisis environment. The earthquake that rocked Haiti held worldwide attention. In this presentation, BCFS, an international response agency, will share their experience as they led an incident management team to support a hospital outside of Port Au Prince. Their teams spent over a month helping to manage the hospital and provide medical and administrative services to the beleaguered facility. Dee will share lessons learned and not learned, related to responding to an international disaster in one of the poorest counties in the world. The human element of this event affected so many aspects of the medical response - all factors that will be discussed. The earthquake's effect on the Haiti's children will be examined, as well, when the organization responded to an orphanage whose numbers had swelled beyond capacity. This presentation examines how people are affected by a megacatastrophe and how that changes the way we make decisions in these events.
