Abstract Background Disasters, whether natural or man-made, are unpredictable. The health care systems, represented by hospitals, are on the front lines of the emergency and disaster response. Tunisian health structures, must be able to cope with a case of mass influx of victims following any disasters. Therefore, we conducted this study to describe the level of disaster preparedness of University Hospitals of Sousse - Tunisia. Methods A simple descriptive quote is the basis of a data collection, conducted between September and October 2019 and performed in both University Hospitals of Sousse - Tunisia (Farhat Hached and Sahloul). The measuring instrument used in this study is the 'Hospital Safety Index' designed by the World Health Organization in 2008. Data was analyzed using the 'Module and safety index calculator' which calculates a specific score for each module (structural safety, nonstructural safety and emergency and disaster management) and an overall score for hospital safety, and assigns an appropriate classification which can be “c/C” corresponds to a score from 0 to 0.35, “b/B” from 0.36 to 0.65, or “a/A” from 0.66 to 1. Results The overall safety index class of both hospitals was 'B'. Sahloul University Hospital was classified as 'a' in both structural and nonstructural safety modules and classified as 'c' in the emergency and disaster management module, in the other hand Farhat Hached University Hospital was classified as 'c' in structural safety module and classified as 'b' in both nonstructural safety and emergency and disaster management modules. Conclusions The hospitals' current levels of emergency and disaster management needs to be improved. Actually, both patients and staff safety as well as the hospital's ability to function during and after emergencies and disasters are potentially at risk. In both hospitals, intervention measures are needed in the short term. Key messages Appropriate disaster management should be based on a clear plan, preparedness and collaborative and effective efforts on the part of the community and the different organizations involved. A safe hospital needs to assure that its services remain accessible and functioning at maximum capacity, before, during and immediately after the impact of emergencies and disasters.

IntroductionHospitals are highly complex facilities that play a key role in the medical response to disasters. However, they are susceptible to the impact of disasters with respect to their structural, non-structural and functional elements. Many hospitals have collapsed or been damaged and rendered nonfunctional as a consequence of disasters. The resilience of a hospital along with the capability of effective medical response to disasters is a key part of a community based disaster plan.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate and compare hospitals in Iran with respect to safety.MethodsThis study was performed as a survey in four hospitals in Iran. The Hospital Safety Index package from WHO was used as an evaluation tool. The evaluation team consisted of: a PhD in structural engineering, an architect with a Master's degree, a specialist in electrical and mechanical maintenance, a medical doctor, a specialist in disaster management, and an expert in health care planning. The hospitals were evaluated in three elements; structural, non-structural, and organizational. The hospital safety calculator was used.ResultsThe most important hazard for these hospitals was earthquakes. The structural safety at three hospitals was inadequate or at risk; and consequently needs intervention in a near future. Also, the administrative and organizational element of these hospitals was inadequate or at risk. All hospitals need intervention in the near future due to non-structural safety being inadequate. The overall safety index at one hospital was A (functional); in two hospitals B (at risk); and in one hospital C (inadequate).ConclusionsThe Iranian hospitals which had been assessed were on the whole unsafe. Also, these hospitals do not have a disaster management plan. Implementing a comprehensive disaster plan, including mitigation and a preparedness plan, would most likely enhance the safety of these hospitals.

It should be designed on the outpatient installation can make the waiting area wider and the circulation of patients with the officers can be separated. The parking area is placed on the basement area so it is wider. For Emergency Installation is placed close to the main door so that the patient can go directly to this area and the circulation separate from the syringe to the inpatient and service area.

Natural Disaster Management

Indonesia has the most complete types of disasters in the world such as floods, landslides, tidal waves, tornadoes, drought, forest and land fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, liquefaction and many more. Natural disasters that occur in Indonesia often just happen and it is not predictable when it will happen. This causes problems in handling natural disasters. Natural disaster management is not a matter of BNPB or BPBD, one important element is the involvement of the Indonesian National Army (TNI). One of Indonesia's regions that are vulnerable to natural disasters is Lampung Province. This research will describe how the role of the TNI in the case study in Korem 043 / Gatam in helping to overcome natural disasters in Lampung Province. The research method used in this research is qualitative research with a literature study approach. The role of the TNI in disaster management in Lampung Province is inseparable from the duties and functions of the TNI that have been mandated in Law Number 34 of 2004. Korem 043 / Gatam has taken strategic steps both from the pre-disaster, disaster response, and post-disaster phases . TNI involvement in the process of disaster management does not stand alone, but cooperates and synergizes with local governments.

Introduction: To survive is the first concern of people after disasters. The ability to keep performing and offering services in hospitals at the same time as appropriate responding to the medical needs of disaster victims, matters tremendously. An effective element in this regard is having appropriate safety level in hospitals. The aim of this study was to specify the safety index of hospitals covered by Alborz University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This descriptive-provisional study was conducted between 2014 and 2015 in Alborz province. Nine public hospitals, affiliated with Alborz University of Medical Sciences, were chosen by the means of census method. The data collection tool was the standard tool of hospital safety index, WHO / PAHO, through which the level of hospital safety (in three structural, non-structural and functional areas) were determined. Data were analyzed through Excel software. The outcomes were rated between zero to one, and accordingly, in terms of safety, hospitals were classified as either A, B or C. Results: Based on the results of this study, most of the examined hospitals were at B level of safety. Although the group B hospitals can put up with disasters in time but, their vital equipment and services will be put at jeopardy. Conclusion: Measuring the safety index of hospitals as well as determining their level of safety, it can be figured out how much a hospital can preserve its organization and function in disasters. This index will be helpful for decision makers and policymakers, when it comes to prioritizing management and civil interventions.
