Reducing Stress

 Teledentistry falls under virtual dental care where use of virtual communication is in between dentist and the patient to provide dental care and education to patients. Patients receive virtual examinations and are provided consultation, diagnosis, treatment planning, guidance, transmission of dental information and education via tele-communications. During this COVID-19 pandemic it has offered a solution to resume dental practice as a tool ensuring safety for all. Pediatric teledentistry helps by saving time, allowing child- dentist interaction before the visit and reducing stress for patients, guardians and dentists. Telescreening and teletriage can be implemented publically into routine dental practice and also as a triage-based emergency management strategy as it provides an effective compromise between limiting patient admission, ensuring their pain control and symptom relief.

Data Set

Due to the global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the high risk of cross-contamination and the overload of hospital facilities have resulted in a real urgency for restricting dental emergency patient flow. In this context, the objectives of the current work were to 1) measure the ability of a triage-based management strategy to limit patient admission and 2) evaluate the success rate of both on-site and remote emergency management regarding symptom relief and pain control over a 1-mo period. We included all patients contacting the dental medicine department for an emergency consultation during the lockdown, between April 1 and April 30, 2020 ( N = 570). Following a telephone consultation and based on preestablished admission guidelines, a decision was made at baseline (T0) to either admit the patient for treatment or perform remote management by providing advice and/or drug prescription. Patients were then followed up systematically at 1 wk and 1 mo. Management failure was defined as the need for emergency admission for patients managed remotely since T0 and for new emergency admission for those admitted at T0. The global follow-up rate of patients with a complete data set was 91.4% ( N = 521). Of included patients, 49.3% could be managed without admission for emergency reasons for 1 mo. The proportion of successful management was 71.8% and 90.2% at 1 mo for remote and on-site management, respectively. To conclude, the proposed triage-based emergency management strategy with systematic follow-up was a good compromise between limiting patient admission and ensuring effective symptom relief and pain control. The strategy can be useful in situations where regulation of the emergency patient flow is required.

Public Criticism

Since the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) inception during the Carter Administration in 1979, it has undergone a tumultuous history marked by a series of praised successess and grave failures. In its early stages, it was highly criticized for sluggish responses to crises as well as pervasive mismanagement. James Lee Witt revolutionized the agency, creating one of the most respected and efficient organizations in government. Although many people thought the progress he made would be long-lasting, the agency fell back into public criticism with a series of poor operations after Witt's departure, beginning with the 9/11 attack and peaking with its mismanagement of the Hurricane Katrina response. This paper examines how Witt transformed FEMA into a functional organization, as well as why it fell apart during the Bush Administration. It focuses on the key differences between how James Lee Witt and his successors handled the stages of emergency management strategy

By including the management of Climate and External Forces Threat from this preventive approach have been identified mitigation and/or maintenance actions of which must be considered in the arrangements of common right-of-way with external entities responsible for the planning, construction and operation of these projects. This document presents the management strategy that was built an implemented largely, and the exposed examples are intended to show the importance of incorporates these learned lessons in the management of geotechnical assurance of the ROW.

The Government

It is the government's basic responsibility to ensure public health safety. However, due to the influence of the environment and human beings, some public health incidents are still inevitable, endangering public health and undermining social stability. However, any public health incident is traceable, and there will be a process from latent period to outbreak. Therefore, the government needs to grasp the key points of health incidents, strengthen emergency management, and ensure social stability and public safety.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide a range of techniques which allow ready access to data, and the opportunity to overlay graphical location-based information for ease of interpretation. They can be used to solve complex planning and management problems. All phases of emergency management (reduction, readiness, response and recovery) can benefit from GIS, including applications related to transportation systems, a critical element in managing effective lifelines in an emergency. This is particularly true immediately before and during a volcanic eruption. The potential for volcanic activity in New Zealand is high, with 10 volcanoes or volcanic centres (Auckland, Bay of Islands, Haroharo, Mayor Island, Ruapehu, Taranaki, Tarawera, Taupo, Tongariro (including Ngauruhoe) and White Island) recognised as active or potentially active. In addition there are many active and potentially active volcanoes along the Kermadec Island chain. There is a great deal of background information on all of these volcanoes, and GIS is currently being used for some aspects of monitoring (e.g. ERS and Envisat radar interferometry for observing deformation prior to eruptions). If an eruption is considered imminent, evacuation may be necessary, and hence transportation systems must be evaluated. Scenarios have been developed for many centres (e.g. Taranaki/Egmont and Bay of Plenty volcanoes), but so far the use of GIS in planning for evacuation is limited. This paper looks at the use of GIS, indicates how it is being used in emergency management, and suggests how it can be used in evacuation planning.
