AbstractModern ships are designed and built according to advanced safety rules and regulations derived from historic fatal marine accidents. Many large ships, especially naval vessels and cruise ships, are equipped with various kinds of computerized systems called damage control systems (DCSs) for facing emergency situations. These systems are designed to mitigate the consequence of injuries to crewmembers and the mission capability of a ship. However, crews still take charge of the main role in controlling emergency situations. All emergency response work has to follow related guidelines and should be done in the early phase of an emergency situation. For this, appropriate information for decision making and simplified communication methods are important. In this paper, a coded shortcut key basis onboard DCS operation is suggested to help crews who have to use a complex computerized DCS in urgent situations. The coded shortcut keys are considered for effective communication among the emergency response team members.

Response System

The paper addresses the problem of increasing transportation safety due to usage of new possibilities provided by modern technologies. The proposed approach extends such systems as ERA-GLONASS and eCall via service network composition enabling not only transmitting additional information but also information fusion for defining required emergency means as well as planning for a whole emergency response operation. The main idea of the approach is to model the cyber physical human system components by sets of services representing them. The services are provided with the capability of self- contextualization to autonomously adapt their behaviors to the context of the car-driver system. The approach is illustrated via an accident emergency situation response scenario. “ERA-GLONASS” is the Russian state emergency response system for accidents, aimed at improving road safety and reducing the death rate from accidents by reducing the time for warning emergency services. In fact, this is a partially copied European e Call system with some differences in the data being transmitted and partly backward compatible with the European parent. The principle of the system is quite simple and logical: in the event of an accident, the module built into the car in fully automatic mode and without human intervention determines the severity of the accident, determines the vehicle’s location via GLONASS or GPS, establishes connection with the system infrastructure and in accordance with the protocol, transfers the necessary data on the accident (a certain distress signal). Having received the distress signal, the employee of the call center of the system operator should call the on-board device and find out what happened. If no one answers, send the received data to Sistema-112 and send it to the exact coordinates of the team of rescuers and doctors, and the last one to arrive at the place is given 20 minutes. And all this, I repeat, without the participation of a person: even if people caught in an accident will not be able to independently call emergency services, the data on the accident will still be transferred. In this work intended to add some information about applying system project in Uzbek Roads especially mountain regions like “Kamchik” pass. The Kamchik Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.306 m above the sea level, located in the Qurama Mountains in eastern Uzbekistan and its length is about 88km.The road to reach the pass is asphalted, but there are rough sections where the asphalt has disappeared. It’s called A373. The old road over the pass was by passed by a tunnel built in 1999. On the horizon, the snow-capped peaks of the Fan Mountains come into view. The pass is located in the Fergana Valley between the Tashkent and Namangan Regions.

Since September 11, 2001, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs have expanded to meet the growing demand for training in disaster preparedness. While extra help during a disaster is needed due to a lack of resources, the use of volunteer responders presents a unique challenge to emergency service managers.Even when trained, volunteers are often not prepared for the physical, mental, and psychological strain of a crisis. As a result, their needs differ from those of professional emergency workers. Conse - quently, organizing and delegating work to volunteers adds a level of complexity to the role of emergency managers.The CERT program in Chandler, Arizona—one of the largest in the state—trained over 400 people in the last year and has encountered many of the problems associated with a rapidly growing volunteer program. During this period of growth, trainers identified several problem areas facing disaster managers including communication issues, effective incident command, a lack of focus that can lead to freelancing at scenes, and the psychological needs of responders. Currently, these issues are being addressed through added training in critical areas, mandatory critical incident stress debriefing, and further studies to better the CERT program.Currently, the CERT is examining several ideas to help alleviate these problems through continuing education. Professional responders need to work alongside CERT members and become attuned to the signs of physical and emotional exhaustion in volunteers. In addition, they need to be trained in assertiveness and the skill of defusing potentially volatile situations. Team members need to receive training each year to refresh their skills and be reminded of the mission: to do the greatest good for the greatest number.

Due to the size and number of people on board, management of Mega Cruise ships is complex task, especially when managing response during emergency situations. Any emergency situation that occur on cruise ships, as a consequence will have reaction from passengers. Crowd Management Control is a process to manage this reaction. Objective of this work is to explain that management of emergency situations will be successful, if following organizational factors are accomplished: ship’s crew is well trained, efficient communication is established, officer’s leadership skills are developed, crew members are efficiently organized to work in teams and “Culture of Safety” is accepted by all crew members on board. Effective leaders on board cruise ships will create safety awareness of the crew members that will ensure quality response during emergency situation, which will avoid or reduce number of casualties in such situations. Above mentioned organizational factors could be used in daily operations of cruise ships, as well.

Level Of Training

ABSTRACT The 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident raised the awareness of the potential scale, complexity and duration of oil spill events, highlighting the need for emergency response organizations to develop and maintain advanced levels of capability and readiness. Such capability and readiness requires teams of experienced and trained personnel who ideally can be cascaded throughout an enterprise to fill Incident Command System (ICS) positions in coordination with outside organizations. Experience gained through either responses to real- world events or carefully crafted simulation exercises is critical to the development and maintenance of response team capability, and providing such can present a significant challenge for team coordinators. Chevron Corporate Emergency Response developed and tested a qualification program aimed at providing consistency and structure to the training and experiential development of Chevron's corporate emergency response personnel. The Chevron Position Qualification System (CPQS) program establishes a minimum level of training and observed demonstrated competencies for leadership positions within the ICS structure. Twenty-one position-specific workbooks detail training, readiness and competency metrics for internal certification through the program. CPQS draws from different established agency programs and is consistent with ICS training curriculum. The program is tailored to fit the roles filled by Chevron Corporate Emergency Response Team members. Members of Chevron's Corporate Emergency Response Teams have a baseline of professional training that supports and sustains a corporate culture of safety, operational discipline and environmental, safety risk and hazard awareness. The CPQS program was built upon the premise that participants have this foundational training, capability and professionalism. The CPQS program builds upon this foundation, expanding the professional competency of response personnel through a standardized program. The CPQS program establishes minimum ICS and function-specific courses along with recommended training and the demonstration of specified skills and abilities in either real-world or exercise environments. Qualified and vetted approvers, known within the program a Qualified Approvers, provide consistent verification of the demonstration of skills and capabilities identified for each position. Additionally, these expert observers provide commentary on areas where skills or professional expertise can be improved. The goal of CPQS is to enable a mobile and versatile workforce that can respond worldwide and integrate into response organizations around the globe. Skills gained through the completion of CPQS requirements enable business units to transfer personnel into key response positions across the enterprise to carry out responses to more complex events. Common training and exercising goals allow organizations to gain efficiencies and build progressive experience and expertise-building opportunities through shared professional development resources. Periodic refresher training and ongoing participation in response exercises or actual incidents are also required to maintain the certification. The CPQS program is currently used by Chevron's Corporate Emergency Response Teams and was field tested at a three-day response exercise in Trieste, Italy where responders from relevant functional groups completed training and demonstrated response capabilities and ICS skills. CPQS is also being utilized with the Chevron regional response team in the Gulf of Mexico with an initial implementation at a training and exercise event in Covington, Louisiana, USA.

The problem of formation of complex approaches to hardware realization of engineering and technical methods of prevention of emergency situations owing to a fire on potentially dangerous objects in the conditions of damage of power supply of systems of emergency counteraction is considered in the work. The analysis of warning methods used to detect emergencies due to fire at potentially dangerous objects proved that in specific operating conditions, namely damage to the power supply of emergency response systems, known protection methods (hazard identification as its initial stage) are ineffective. At the same time, the use of alternative methods, such as methods based on the phenomenon of acoustic emission, despite their proven ability in other areas of public safety, remains highly questionable because at present there is no appropriate mathemati-cal apparatus on which to form algorithmic and procedural basis. these innovative approaches. It is to solve this urgent problem, the formation of the mathematical apparatus of engineering and technical methods of emergency prevention due to fire in the event of damage to the power supply of emergency response systems, and the above research is directed. Based on the above, the purpose of the study is to form integrated approaches to the hardware implementa-tion of engineering and technical methods of emergency prevention due to fire at potentially dangerous objects in the event of damage to the power supply of emergency response systems. To ensure this goal, the following tasks are solved: the sequence of stages of processing acoustic signals is determined; the general requirements to hardware realization of engineering and technical methods and the gen-eral functional scheme of practical realization of the demanded approach are formed. During the research the sequence of the main stages of processing of acoustic signals from the source of an emergency situation as a result of a fire at a potentially dangerous object is generalized and determined. The general requirements to hardware realization of engineering and technical methods of the prevention of emergency situations owing to a fire on potentially dangerous objects in the conditions of damage of power sup-ply of systems of emergency counteraction are formed. The general example of realization of the functional scheme of engineering and technical methods of preven-tion of emergencies in energy difficult conditions of functioning of potentially dangerous object is considered. Recommendations concerning a possibility of application of required methods in practical activity are resulted.

The Impact

AbstractA person's needs for security can be measured using negative indicators such as crime rates. Police registration data records that the number of crimes from 2014-2016 tends to increase. Everyone can experience an emergency situation. In addition to crime rates, emergency situations can occur due to accidents, fire or illness. There is no certainty when someone experiences an emergency situation, so it is necessary to minimize the impact of the emergency situation, where one of them is a rapid emergency response when someone experiences an emergency situation. The results of this study are in the form of mobile-based community rapid response applications that use the Android operating system using the Apache web server. This application also sends maps and location coordinates via a message sent by someone who is experiencing an emergency situation. This message can be sent to smartphones in the form of message notifications or non smartphones in the form of SMS.AbstrakKebutuhan seseorang akan rasa aman dapat diukur menggunakan indikator negatif seperti angka kejahatan. Data registrasi Polri mencatat jumlah kejahatan dari tahun 2014-2016 cenderung mengalami peningkatan. Setiap orang bisa saja mengalami situasi darurat. Selain tingkat kejahatan, situasi darurat dapat terjadi akibat kecelakaan, kebakaran ataupun sakit. Tidak adanya kepastian kapan seseorang mengalami situasi darurat, maka di perlukan untuk meminimalisir dampak dari stuasi darurat tersebut dimana salah satunya adalah respon tanggap darurat yang cepat ketika seseorang mengalami situasi darurat. Hasil penelitian ini berupa aplikasi respon cepat masyarakat berbasis mobile yang menggunakan sistem operasi android dengan menggunakan web server apache. Aplikasi ini juga mengirimkan peta dan titik koordinat lokasi melalui pesan yang di kirimkan seseorang yang mengalami situasi darurat. Pesan ini dapat terkirim kepada smartphone dalam bentuk notifikasi pesan maupun non smartphone dalam bentuk sms.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) aim to alleviate unmet global disease burden and promote collaboration between visiting and host countries. Well-executed emergency response protocols are foundational to providing safe and quality care in an unpredictable global setting. Global Smile Foundation (GSF) instituted a protocol in 2012 based on over three decades of cleft care experience. Here, we update this protocol and provide information on how to address special circumstances such as humanitarian crises and disease outbreaks. The GSF response protocol was developed in conjunction with surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and administrators to ensure all team members are adequately prepared to respond to emergency situations in global outreach. This protocol provides information on pre-departure preparation, onsite setup, operative precautions, and post-departure debriefings. Emphasis is placed on a standardized, reproducible workflow that accounts for necessary site-specific adjustments. Strategies include emergency simulations, site-specific safety checklists, standardized operating room protocols, and well-defined individual responsibilities. The authors also provide anticipatory guidance in addressing unexpected circumstances, such as disease outbreak and natural disaster, during global outreach. In conclusion, a proactive and systematic approach to emergency response and prevention is vital to minimizing morbidity and mortality during surgical outreach initiatives. The GSF protocol represents a reproducible approach that other organizations can adopt and adapt to their unique needs.

AbstractSince 2006, the Defence Medical Services (DMS) pre-hospital care focus has been the Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT), which has enabled the projection of Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR) to the point of wounding as part of consultant-delivered care. Now in a period of contingency operations, the Royal Navy (RN)’s Role 2 medical capability, Role 2 Afloat (R2A) delivers DCR (including surgery) on a maritime platform. This article will focus on the development of the Maritime MERT component of R2A (termed Maritime In Transit Care (MITC) in Maritime Medical Doctrine) and will discuss the requirements based on experience of and preparation for an operation in 2016. Also discussed are the individual competencies and training required to be part of the Maritime MERT; it is hoped that this will simulate debate around this evolving team.

Emergencies that occur during the transportation process in rail transport entail variable over time values of loss of life, human health and material damage. Increasing the response time of emergency response services leads to an increase in the consequences and scale of incidents. One of the parameters determining delays in the response of special services and structures is the time taken to bring information from the emergency site, from the moment it was discovered and the transfer of information about it to the moment that this information was communicated to all officials of the railway structures and other emergency response services of the territorial unit within which the accident occurred. The paper presents the main theoretical calculations of a mathematical model describing the system of information interaction and exchange when communicating information about an emergency situation that occurred during the transportation process on the Sverdlovsk railway and developed a simulation model in the package of MATLAB application programs and SimEvents libraries.
