Kasus kebakaran di Rumah Sakit masih tergolong tinggi dan ini sangat merugikan baik untuk pihak Rumah Sakit maupun pengunjung atau pasien yang berobat. maka diperlukan sistem tanggap darurat yang baik dalam menghadapi situasi darurat terutama kebakaran, maka dari itu tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sistem tanggap darurat kebakaran serta bagaimana implementasi prosedur operasional tanggap darurat (emergency response and preparedness) Rumah Sakit 3M Plus. Jenis Penelitian ini adalah observasional dengan pendekatan kualitatif analitik. Analisa yang digunakan adalah triangulasi sumber, metode dan data. Data yang disajikan dalam bentuk matriks dan narasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem tanggap darurat seperti simulasi kebakaran, sarana penyelamatan, dan kesesuaian penerapan APAR masi perlu dievaluasi dan perlu dibenahi kembali agar menjadi sebuah tindakkan yang tepat sewaktu terjadinya kebakaran. Serta masih ada beberapa yang belum sesuai dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) maupun permen PU. Sistem proteksi pasif seperti titik kumpul, pintu darurat, tangga darurat tidak memadai. Fire cases in the hospital are still high and this is very detrimental to both the hospital and visitors or patients who seek treatment. Therefore, a good emergency response system is needed in dealing with emergency situations, especially fires, therefore the purpose of this study is to determine the fire emergency response system and how to implement emergency response and preparedness procedures for 3M Plus Hospital. This type of research is observational with a qualitative analytic approach. The analysis used was the triangulation of sources, methods and data. Data presented in the form of a matrix and narrative. The results showed that emergency response systems such as fire simulations, rescue facilities, and suitability of the application of APAR still need to be evaluated and need to be reorganized so that they become an appropriate action when a fire occurs. And there are still some that are not in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and PU candy. Passive protection systems such as gathering points, emergency exits, emergency stairs are inadequate.

The paper proposes the development of new approaches to the creation of emergency response systems using non-traditional power supplies in the event of damage to traditional power supply systems.The main idea of the work is the formation of integrated approaches to alternative methods based on the phenomenon of acoustic emission (AE) using an unconventional power source based on film solar cells on flexible substrates. The creation of photoconverters based on thin films from a variety of materials and compounds is a promising direction in the development of solar energy. Unfortunately, the efficiency of these photoconverters is not yet high enough, but the cost of equipment for their creation, and hence the cost of instrument structures, is already quite acceptable.The investigated solar cells were obtained by the method of thermal vacuum evaporation using a UVN67 vacuum unit with modified internal equipment.After manufacturing, solar cells (SCs) were investigated under standard laboratory conditions adopted for the study of solar cells for ground-based use, i.e. in the AM 1.5 mode with a luminous flux power of 100 mW / cm2 and a temperature of 25 ° C. To study degradation processes in such solar cells after measuring the initial parameters The solar cells were placed in a sealed plastic box and kept for 4 years at a temperature of 15-25 ° СChecking the elements demonstrate high degradation resistance, which provides general requirements for the material and the conditions for its creation promising for use as unconventional sources of power supply for emergency response systems and ensuring the use of information and technical methods for preventing emergency situations as a result of fire in conditions of damage to the power supply of emergency response systems.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of a standardized model of data collection, storage, and interpretation to evaluate the organized response to emergencies. The Standardized Emergency Response Incident Evaluation System (SERIES) model was employed to support practitioner evaluation of a fire service response to a simulated high-rise building fire. A comprehensive dataset representing quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the emergency response is established through content analysis of documents produced during the response and interviews with responders post-incident. Data are encoded within a standardized framework employing network theory. This dataset is then evaluated by fire service subject matter experts to identify learning outcomes relevant to emergency response effectiveness and organizational development. The results demonstrate that emergency response management system data can be collected and stored within a standardized framework. The results also demonstrate that not only can the resultant dataset support the identification of a range of learning outcomes by fire service practitioners, but that this approach can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the response and deeper learning than that provided by existing evaluation methods.

Across the globe, disasters – both natural and man-made – have threatened humanity. These disasters had grave and devastating impact on human life, infrastructure, and the environment as evidenced by the February 2000 Cyclone Eline and March 2019 Cyclone Idai. This research sought to investigate the Department of Civil Protection`s (DCP) capacity in national disaster management. The research examines how the DCP handled cyclones from 2000-2019 in Chimanimani District. Organisational capacity was assessed on the basis of its core principles which are: leadership, management and operations, community engagement, service and evaluation. The study discovered that inadequate financial and human resources, poor emergency response systems, weak learning and lessons drawing, reactive disaster management, weak pre-disaster management community engagement, poor reconstruction and failure to harmonise military and DCP operational structures are factors undermining DCP`s capacity for national disaster management. The research recommends that government should avail adequate resources, DCP should be proactive in disaster management, should openly contract-out reconstruction works, and collaborate with universities to strengthen organisational learning capacity, align military and DCP operational structures and processes and let Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) distribute food and other humanitarian aid.

It is very challenging for the visually and hearing- impaired people to react properly in case of a fire than the none- visually and hearing impaired. In addition, there is a lack of the current emergency response systems in the market that cater to the needs of visually and hearing-impaired people. Most of the current methods are expensive and unreliable while 90% of visually and hearing-impaired people live in developing countries. Therefore, we proposed a new emergency system called The First Response Interactive Emergency System (FRIES). This system provides all the emergency needs of hearing and visually impaired individuals when they are awake as well as asleep in case of a fire, carbon monoxide, and natural gas leak. It will also notify the emergency personnel and their caregivers. The cost of this system is very affordable. Our system consists of a microcontroller, which will be connected to the LED lights, gas sensors, smoke sensors, fire detector, speaker module, WIFI module, vibrating motors, and LCD display. All sensor data is simultaneous transmitted between the microcontroller and sensors. Our promising results showed that this system can be a complete emergency detection solution to provide safety for the visually and hearing impaired.

This article is an effort to examine socio-political and economic impact of COVID-19 to state system global politics. Further, this study analyzes the response of US, China, Russia, India and Pakistan to Covid-19. Starting in December of 2019, first suspected as a mild cold in a seafood merchant of Hua'nan market was proved to be a fine example of "Butterfly" or you may call it "Domino" effect. At first it was taken by the world community an epidemic later regarded as a global pandemic engulfing over million of earthlings in matter of days, responsible for seizing its originating country and crippling the world's economy. As of 26 March 2020, the number of confirmed cases in the country is 1,179, with 21 recoveries and 9 deaths. World Health Organization has appreciated Pakistan for taking meaningful and timely steps deal with Corona Virus. The efforts to deal with Covid-19 by states with the help of World Health organization (WHO) are admirable. WHO is urging all countries to prepare for the potential arrival of COVID-19 by readying emergency response systems; increasing capacity to detect and care for patients; ensuring hospitals have the space, supplies and necessary personnel; and developing life-saving medical interventions. States in their own operational capacity are working around; Preparedness & Response, Containment and Mitigation.
