7 EMT History 1958: Dr. Peter Safar demonstrates the efficacy of mouth-to-mouth ventilation.

8 EMT History 1960: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is shown to be efficacious.

9 EMT History 1967: Dr. Eugene Nagel trains Miami firefighters as "paramedics" at the University of Miami School of Medicine.

10 EMT History 1968: The American Telephone and Telegraph Company designates "911" as the universal emergency telephone number.

11 EMT History 1969: The USDOT and NHTSA develop the basic training course for EMTs.

12 EMT History 1969: The Committee on Ambulance Design develops Ambulance Design Criteria, a report to the USDOT and the NHTSA to complement the NASNRC's Medical Requirements for Ambulance Design and Equipment(1968). This document recommends ambulance design standards and emergency equipment. The NHTSA agrees to issue matching federal funds to states that purchase vehicles meeting these standards.

13 EMT History 1970: The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) is organized to standardize education, examinations, and certification of EMTs on a national level.

14 EMT History 1972: President Nixon directs the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to develop new ways to organize EMS, which results in $8.5 million in contracts being awarded to develop a model EMS system.

15 EMT History 1972: The University of Cincinnati establishes the first residency program to train new physicians exclusively for the practice of emergency medicine.

16 EMT History 1973: The "Star of Life" is adopted as the official symbol for EMS.

17 EMT History 1974: President Gerald Ford proclaims the first National EMS Week.

18 EMT History 1975: The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) is founded.

19 EMT History 1975: The American Medical Association (AMA) accepts and approves the EMT-Paramedic role as an emergency health occupation.

20 EMT History 1977: More than 40 EMT training agencies throughout the United States develop and test the national training standards for the paramedic for 2 years.

21 EMT History 1980: The USDHHS releases the Position Paper on Trauma Center Designation, which describes trauma centers within EMS systems. Facilities are also categorized

22 EMT History 1984: The EMS for Children program, under the Public Health Act, provides funding for enhancing the EMS system to better serve pediatric patients.

23 EMT History 1986: The 1979 Public Safety. Officer's Act (SB 1479) is amended to expand the $50/000 compensation to include survivors of rescue squads, ambulance crew members, and public safety department volunteers killed in the line of duty (amended in 1990).

24 EMT History 1990: President George Bush signs the Trauma Care Systems Planning and Development Act (HR 1602), which provides for annual grants to states based on geographical and population size to help establish and improve trauma systems. In 1995, Congress does not reauthorize funding for this act.

25 EMT History 1991: Occupational Exposure to Blood-Borne Pathogens; Final Rule (CFR ) establishes standards for workplace protection from blood-borne diseases.

37 2001年 怪颱納莉 輕度颱風納莉侵襲台灣，豐沛的雨量造成台灣重大傷亡損失，根據中央災害應變中心統計，截至晚間十一時為止，已有三十人死亡，六人失蹤、九十四人受傷，台北市死亡人數增十二人、台北縣增為十人、基隆市為八人。 　　消防署納莉颱風中央災害應變中心表示，目前已知確定死亡的人員包含於台北市死亡十二人，包含內湖區麗山街三三八巷一處民宅溺斃的招鳳文、招鳳川兄弟、於台北市大湖山莊街一百九十號地下室溺斃的男子劉鎮榮、於台北市北投區溫泉路遭土石流掩埋的女子黃薾凡，另外在北投溫泉路、士林格致路遭土石流活埋的五人及在中山北路、研究院路、東新街死亡的三人，身份都有待追查。

39 台灣歷年死傷最慘重之災難排名

40 Hurricane Mitch

41 Earthquakes

42 Volcanic hazards

43 Windstorms

44 Flood

45 Tsunami

46 Instability-related hazards

47 Hazard and risk

48 Risk perception

49 The effects of disasters: Montserrat volcanic crisis
losses gains direct indirect Physical damage to property Fertile ash deposits Increasing mental illness More stringent insurance conditions

50 Natural disasters in time & space - I
Major natural disasters are strongly constrained in space and time The bigger the event, the lower the FREQUENCY and the longer the RECURRENCE INTERVAL (return time) MEGADISASTERS are very rare: none experienced in modern times

51 Natural hazards in time & space - II
Magnitude Log of frequency Log of recurrence interval

52 Triggering of a disaster
Whether a hazard triggers a disaster depends on the SENSITIVITY of society/community to the hazard Sensitivity is a combination of two factors: Exposure: the range of potentially damaging hazards & their frequency Vulnerability: degree of social and economic tolerance to such hazards

53 Sensitivity trends Sensitivity of much of human society is on the increase due to: rapidly increasing population growth in vulnerable areas increasing urbanisation and the growth of megacities increasing frequencies of climate-related hazards

54 Natural hazards versus natural resources - II
E.g rainfall Physical element time Damage threshold Tolerance band flood drought hazard resource

55 Numbers affected by geohazards and other disasters: 1968 - 1992
Earthquakes Floods Windstorms Landslides Volcanic activity Drought & famine Technological hazards 20 40 60 Millions

56 Is the world becoming a more dangerous place?
Rapidly growing populations (especially in large urban concentrations) in hazard prone areas (particularly coastal areas susceptible to both tropical cyclones and earthquakes) Poor planning and construction in high risk regions Poor enforcement of building codes Inadequate public awareness and education Limited financial and technical resources Environmental degradation & climate change

57 Natural disaster trends
300 200 100 1970 1975 1980 1985 1989 1998 events

58 Some worrying facts & figures
During 1970s and 1980s geohazards claimed 3 million lives and affected 820 million people Population in 2020 is likely to be between 7 and 8 billion (6 billion today) 16% of the world’s population currently live in MEGACITIES (populations in excess of 1 million) By 2020 this figure could top 30% Most megacities will be in developing world countries - especially ASIA - one of the most hazard prone regions on the planet

59 Where do geohazards occur?
Alaska 1964 Tokyo 1923 Kobe 1995 Lisbon 1755 Izmit 1999 Mount St. Helens 1980 Tangshen 1976 Caribbean Pinatubo 1990 Northridge 1994 Loma Prieta 1989 Montserrat 1995-present Rabaul 1994 Toba 73ka ‘Ring of Fire’ Tambora 1815 Chile 1960 S. E. Asia Principal earthquake zones and explosive volcanoes Tropical cyclone zones

60 1998 natural disasters by region
Oceans & space Oceania Africa Japan Asia USA America UK Europe 20 60 100 140

61 Natural disasters by type 1998
Windstorms (240) Floods (170) Earthquakes & volcanic eruptions (110) Other (190)

62 Geohazard economic losses 1998
Ice storm Canada Afghanistan quakes Wildfires USA Floods China Cyclone India Bangla/India Hurricane Georges Typhoon Japan Mitch 25000 20000 15000 10000 5000 Economic losses (million US$)

63 Extreme events Majority of hazards have return periods on a human time-scale Extreme events have very low frequencies but very high magnitudes in terms of destructive capacity Asteroid/comet impact Super-eruption Megatsunami

74 美國災難應變基本設計圖 This briefing will address how the NDMS provides public and private health and medical resources that are used to support unmet requirements in communities affected by larger than normal incidents. These local needs are first addressed by mutual-aid, then through State or State-to-State assistance. If the State cannot provide the type of help that is needed, the Federal government becomes involved. The Federal Response Plan (FRP) is the structure through which health and medical resources are mobilized and coordinated with local authorities. 2

FEMA coordinates this support through the FRP which involves 27 Federal agencies and the American Red Cross. This slide depicts how needs identified by local governments are first supported by the State, and then by the Federal government.
