Book Synopsis Assessing Medical Preparedness to Respond to a Terrorist Nuclear Event by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Assessing Medical Preparedness to Respond to a Terrorist Nuclear Event written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-08-19 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nuclear attack on a large U.S. city by terrorists-even with a low-yield improvised nuclear device (IND) of 10 kilotons or less-would cause a large number of deaths and severe injuries. The large number of injured from the detonation and radioactive fallout that would follow would be overwhelming for local emergency response and health care systems to rescue and treat, even assuming that these systems and their personnel were not themselves incapacitated by the event. The United States has been struggling for some time to address and plan for the threat of nuclear terrorism and other weapons of mass destruction that terrorists might obtain and use. The Department of Homeland Security recently contracted with the Institute of Medicine to hold a workshop, summarized in this volume, to assess medical preparedness for a nuclear detonation of up to 10 kilotons. This book provides a candid and sobering look at our current state of preparedness for an IND, and identifies several key areas in which we might begin to focus our national efforts in a way that will improve the overall level of preparedness.

Book excerpt: The United States is failing to address its most urgent threat--biological proliferation and terrorism. Specific concerns raised in the report, relating to U.S. biosecurity, include: developing a common understanding of the biothreat. While the National Security Council is developing a Bioweapons Prevention Strategy--the first of its kind--there is a lack of common understanding across the Administration and Congress about the threat of biological terrorism; executive responsibility. Although the President appointed a WMD Coordinator, the Commission strongly recommends the National Security Council needs a senior official whose sole responsibility is to improve America's capability for biodefense; funding for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and Project BioShield at the US Department of Health and Human Services. These programs develop and purchase medicines to prevent and respond to biological, radiological, or nuclear attack; disease surveillance--the nation needs to improve domestic and international disease surveillance in order to quickly recognize a disease emergency, whether natural or manmade.
Book Synopsis Preparing for Terrorism by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Preparing for Terrorism written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-08-11 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) program of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provides funds to major U. S. cities to help them develop plans for coping with the health and medical consequences of a terrorist attack with chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) agents. DHHS asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to assist in assessing the effectiveness of the MMRS program by developing appropriate evaluation methods, tools, and processes to assess both its own management of the program and local preparedness in the cities that have participated in the program. This book provides the managers of the MMRS program and others concerned about local capabilities to cope with CBR terrorism with three evaluation tools and a three-part assessment method. The tools are a questionnaire survey eliciting feedback about the management of the MMRS program, a table of preparedness indicators for 23 essential response capabilities, and a set of three scenarios and related questions for group discussion. The assessment method described integrates document inspection, a site visit by a team of expert peer reviewers, and observations at community exercises and drills.
