AbstractObjectiveDevastating disasters around the world directly contribute to significant increases in human mortality and economic costs. The objective of this study was to examine the current state of the Korea Disaster Relief Team that participated in an international training module.MethodsThe whole training period was videotaped in order to observe and evaluate the respondents. The survey was carried out after completion of the 3-day training, and the scores were reported by use of a 5-point Likert scale.ResultsA total of 43 respondents were interviewed for the survey, and the results showed that the overall preparedness score for international disasters was 3.4±1.6 (mean±SD). The awareness of the Incident Command System for international disasters was shown to be low (3.5±1.1). Higher scores were given to personnel who took on leadership roles in the team and who answered “I knew my duty” (4.4±0.6) in the survey, as well as to the training participants who answered “I clearly knew my duty” (4.5±0.5).ConclusionThe preparedness level of the Korea Disaster Relief Team was shown to be insufficient, whereas understanding of the roles of leaders and training participants in the rescue team was found to be high. It is assumed that the preparedness level for disaster relief must be improved through continued training. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2016;1–5)

The paper analyzes the changes taking place in recent years in the coal industry of Ukraine and the world and examines measures for innovation in energy. The main goals, challenges and prospects of fair transformation of coal regions are revealed by analyzing the current state of the coal industry of Ukraine and world trends. The instruments of the state policy on providing the fired workers of the coal regions with jobs in case of liquidation / transformation of mines are defined and the alternatives of the policy of promoting the employment of the fired workers for making effective decisions are established. Peculiarities and factors of creation of technological or eco-technological parks on the basis of coal enterprises are studied. It is concluded that one of the effective solutions for the fair transformation of coal regions can be the transformation / transformation of the mine as a state enterprise into a park system by involving energy companies. The implementation of investment projects using the infrastructure of the mine for other activities is promising. Significant work should be done on job creation programs and training / retraining / retraining of workers, design of industrial parks and implementation of innovative projects.

ABSTRACT For years, the U.S. Coast Guard and other pollution response organizations have relied on traditional (analytical) decision making models as a basis for training their On-Scene Coordinators. With the Coast Guard's adoption of the Incident Command System (ICS), a more appropriate basis for a training program may be found using naturalistic decision making (NDM) models. This paper will describe both the traditional and naturalistic decision making models, compare them, explain why naturalistic decision making is more appropriate for training Incident Commanders, and propose a program for such training for use by the Coast Guard or other response organizations.

This paper illustrates the current state of creation of personnel in the maritime industry in Montenegro and worldwide. We are comparing many different systems of seafarer education around the world and indicating their benefits and shortcomings. We took into consideration BIMCO’s research pertaining to the supply of and demand for seafarers on the international labor market. We also took into consideration the development of seafarers’ careers in keeping with international conventions governing the systems of education and training of seafarers. This paper focuses on the current condition in seafarer education worldwide. We conducted a survey among 30 Montenegrin and 24 Croatian seafarers to establish their opinion on the educational system, seafarer employment agencies and careers.

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the continually evolving subjects of emergency response and natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) from the perspective of a state natural resource trustee agency. Following the Exxon Valdez and American Trader spills, California enacted a law that gave the Department of Fish and Game primary responsibility for management of oil spills in marine waters of the state. There are considerable advantages to placing the lead responsibility for spill response and damage assessment on a single trustee agency which must carry out prespill planning and training, and participate in drills. Trustee agencies potentially face numerous roles in significant spill events; methods have been developed to facilitate the conduct of these activities. In particular, the unified command structure, incident command system, and the trustee NRDA team concept are useful.

ABSTRACT The staff needed for the support of cleanup operations can be large even for moderately sized spills. Marshaling sufficient and qualified people to respond on short notice at locations throughout the world can tax even the largest corporations. This paper describes how Chevron has prepared for this important aspect of spill response. Basically, Chevron has formed 13 separate teams covering specialty areas such as safety, finance, public relations, and legal. Each teams is organized and managed by people who regularly work within that function. Members of each team are regular employees of the various Chevron companies throughout the world. The incident command system and coordinated plans are the common threads which allow these groups to work together effectively. Drills and self-audits are used to keep the plans current and team members prepared. The organization and activities of the Safety, Fire and Health (SF&H) Functional Team is described in detail as a illustrated example of the functional team approach. This team consists of about 50 professionals in related fields. To facilitate rapid mobilization worldwide, each member has been medically qualified and has a current passport and selected inoculations. The team plan outlines the responsibilities of each professional group, the call-out procedure and telephone lists, and information on pre-identified SF&H contractors that can be called upon if additional resources are needed. The plan is flexible so that it can be used by one or two people to handle all SF&H functions at a small spill or by many persons within each specialty for larger incidents.

During the wildfires in California in the 1970s, the Incident Command System (ICS) was developed to create a standardized approach for firefighters to use in order to conduct an efficient response effort. Over the last 44 years, this system evolved into an all-hazards system used all over the world to mitigate a myriad of incidents from hurricanes to terrorist attacks to oil spills. Although ICS was developed as a standard system, both internationally and within the United States, this system and the training on this system were not always implemented or conducted in the same manner. The size and scope of the response which followed the 2010 Macondo Well Blowout (Deepwater Horizon) reinforced the need for continual, standardized training in ICS. Public and private sector response organizations have all become engaged in this effort to standardize the training used to prepare responders to participate as members of an Incident Management Team. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) model for ICS is now recognized as this standard internationally. Changes in the regulatory landscape since the implementation of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 have served to increase NIMS ICS acceptance and utilization among federal, state and local government agencies, as well as U.S.-based private industry. Recently, response organizations from around the world have begun training in NIMS ICS. This global standardization will enhance the response posture of the entire response community. Examples of training and exercises conducted all over the world will illustrate the initialization of international standardization of ICS.

The world must be resilient against major disasters, whether they are caused by natural hazards or human-related mechanisms. Nowadays, outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases, such as new strains of influenza, are a world wide problem. Special consideration is necessary against chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) hazards.ResultsThe hardware/mechanical preparedness, measurements of the severe influence in mental/psychological aspects, official public system, incident command system, public education system, and the needs of vulnerable populations should be established prior to a disaster. It is also important to prepare the necessary medical resources. The technical skills needed for triage, emergency care, and appropriate transportation should be trained for.Discussion and ConclusionMeasures should be prepared both from the macroscopic viewpoint as well as microscopic approach. A “Disaster Medicine Compendium” consisting of 20 volumes with more than 5,000 pages, was developed in 2005. Currently, a new version is being prepared.
