KNOW YOUR ROLE IN A DISASTER!
National Disaster Life Support (NDLS) programs:
-trains physicians and other health and safety professionals in understanding their roles and responsibilities as part of an integrated disaster management system.
-helps standardize disaster training for all potential health responders and, in turn, strengthen national and global health security.
Whether faced with a natural disaster, a terrorist attack or pandemic, NDLS courses provide the knowledge and skills health personnel need to execute successfully in a disaster. Through competency-based courses and curricula, the NDLS program emphasizes an all-hazards, multidisciplinary approach to personal, institutional and community disaster management through the introduction of two unique mnemonics:
The PRE-DISASTER Paradigm which applies to event mitigation and preparedness; and The DISASTER Paradigm which applies to event recognition, response and recovery.
