We have already discussed weather-related natural disasters and bioterrorism, and now we will focus on other types of disasters. For this week’s discussion, you are asked to research a technological or human-induced disaster.
(This is different from Weeks 3 and 4, where you might have discussed hostage situations, mass shootings, multiple-vehicle or mass transit disasters with multiple critical injuries, bioterrorism, and disease outbreaks.)
Here, you want to look at disasters such as radiological/nuclear, industrial/technological, and hazardous material spill disasters.
In your post, describe the disaster you have chosen. Support your answers with evidence from scholarly sources (reference and cite your sources).
Select 2 of the items below to discuss:
At what point does a man-made event become labeled a 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?
