For this week’s discussion, you are asked to research a technological or human induced disaster. Here you want to look at situations such as
radiological, nuclear accidents, technological disasters (electromagnetic pulse), and hazardous material spills.
In your post, provide the name of the incident you have chosen, and support your answers with evidence/examples. Tell us how the incident came about and how the situation was dealt with.
Then select 2 of the items below to discuss:
At what point does a technological or man made event become labeled a disaster?
Name and explain the impact categories associated with your disaster.
How well do you think the United States is prepared for a disaster like the one you selected?
Discuss the factors that can influence the effects a disaster may have on a community or region.
What nursing interventions would be a priority for these victims?
What community resources should be provided to the victims for follow up needs?
Please DO NOT choose CHERNOBYL. I’ve already discussed this event in a previous post. You may choose to talk
about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011) or the 1991 Cantaraa Loop Spill if you really want to.
