Ch. 7 - Disasters, Toxic Hazards, Pollution Dr. C. Jazwinski Technological Catastrophes n Technology is used to solve many problems and to increase the quality of life. n Sometimes it can cause extreme disasters. n Research on human made and natural disasters shows both similarities and differences in human responses. Properties of technological disasters n human-made n caused by human error n duration is variable (may be acute or chronic) n disasters that are chronic may not have clear low points (point at which things begin to improve) n may require long-term coping n accompanied by uncertainty n more likely to threaten feelings of control (because we expect control over technology) n expectations of other technological disasters (confidence is shaken) n often lack of visible destruction n not restricted to certain geographical areas like natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes) n not predictable n because of lack of clear low point it is harder to get back to a normal life n post-disaster community response is more negative than in natural disasters where bonding and cohesiveness sometimes greatly increases after the disaster n controversy and conflict among neighbors increases Effects of technological disasters when impact is long-lasting n work-related problems n psychiatric distress n PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) n intrusive thoughts and memories (contribute to chronic stress) n neuroticism Examples: n Chernobyl Disaster n Love Canal n Buffalo Creek Flood n Three Mile Island Accident Chernobyl n On April 25th -26th, 1986 the World's worst nuclear power accident occurred at Chernobyl in the former USSR

UN International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG) INSARAG is an inter-governmental network under the United Nations umbrella, which deals with urban search and rescue (USAR) and related disaster response issues. Its purpose is to provide a platform for information exchange in order to define standards for international USAR assistance and to develop methodology for international cooperation and coordination in earthquake response. INSARAG includes earthquake-prone countries as well as traditional providers of international assistance. INSARAG Website: http://www.reliefweb.int/insarag/index.html Experience has shown that secondary effects of natural and technogenic disasters require additional specialist advice in conjunction with SAR response and other humanitarian aid missions. This is particularly important at the interface between wildlands and urban and other residential areas interface where wildland fires constitute a major problem for urban populations. Related hazards also include the smoke pollution caused by wildland fires which is threatening public health in urban and other residential areas. At the INSARAG Regional Group Africa/Europe meeting in December 1999 (Germany) a first proposal was elaborated to establish an INSARAG Fire Group consisting of three subgroups: Wildland Fire Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Industrial Fire At a meeting at the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA) in January 2000 it was agreed that the original mandate of INSARAG which in addition to search and rescue would also covers wider aspects of disaster/emergency response. This could include a variety of natural and human-made disasters, including wildland fires. INSARAG would assist in strengthening UN-OCHA's role by:

The WHO Golden Rules for Safe Food Preparation Brief Description of the Organization: Mandate WHO's constitution specifically mandates the organization in the field of humanitarian assistance in emergencies "to act as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work; to furnish appropriate technical assistance and, in emergencies, necessary aid upon the request or acceptance of governments." WHO is also mandated "to provide, or assist in providing, upon the request of the United Nations, health services and facilities to special groups, such as the people of the trust territories." The organization has also long been designated as the lead agency within the UN system for health-related aspects of emergencies, and should advise the other partners on coordination in this field. This health coordination role, as distinguished from operational support, makes WHO a key partner of OCHA and other emergency oriented agencies represented on the IASC.

In the past couple years, British Columbia has been bombarded with bad news, and yet, for most of us, life continues virtually unchanged. Look around-the housing market continues to boom, our favourite retail stores are always bustling, and the line-ups are long at the coffee shop drive-thru's. In spite of the doom and gloom in the news, we keep living like everything's great. I wonder if anyone else besides me is wondering what's really going on. Catastrophic forest fires, mad cows and sick chickens, decimated pine forests, SARS, crippled forestry and fisheries-I can't help but wonder if something bigger than we can see is going on. Let's face it-we Canadians have lived with ease for generations, and with such a comfortable standard of living, that we have believed ourselves to be untouchable from natural and human-made disasters. Devastating events and epidemics are supposed to happen in faraway places, under-developed and poverty-stricken nations, not Canada.

These measures, called the fairness provisions, give the CCRA common-sense ways to help clients who, because of extraordinary circumstances, are unable to meet their tax or duty obligations.

Counseling Degrees : Mental Health Trauma Certificate MENTAL HEALTH TRAUMA CERTIFICATE The Graduate Department of Counseling is offering a Mental Health Trauma Certificate, established in 2003. The certificate is designed to prepare mental health professionals to work as trauma relief workers and provide mental health services to trauma survivors. It is designed to provide mental health professionals (in pursuit of a master’s or higher degree, as well as those with a master’s or higher degree in a mental health field), with a foundation to understand the physiological and psychological impact that trauma has on the individual trauma survivor, their families, and the community. The program allows great flexibility and an opportunity for participants to choose from a selection of courses to meet the needs and interests of the individual, with the opportunity to specialize in one of three areas: School Trauma/Disaster (e.g. school shootings, suicides, gang violence, child abductions and other acts of violence) Community Trauma/Disaster (e.g. human-made disasters, terrorism, bombing, shootings, hostage situations, etc. and natural disasters earthquake, floods, fire, tornado, hurricane, etc.)
