Abstract
The process of disaster management is a complex process that
differs according to place, time and availability of resources. It is
divided into three phases which are pre-disaster phase, disaster
response and post-disaster phase, of which the most important:
phase which is considered the corner-stone of the whole process is
the pre-disaster phase which activities are the basement; upon which
the activities of the subsequent phases is built.
Pre-disaster activities includes mitigation (Measures taken in
advance of a disaster aimed at reducing its impact on society and the
environment) and preparedness (Ability to predict, respond to and
cope with the effect of a disaster).
Disaster response (is the sum total of actions taken by people
and institutions in the face of disaster overlapping with disaster
preparedness plans already set and rehabilitation programs already
started).
Post-disaster activities includes rehabilitation (the actions
’taken in the aftermath of a disaster to enable basic services to
resume functioning) and reconstruction (It is the permanent .
construction or replacement of severely damaged physical .
structures, the full restoration of all services and local
infrastructure).
The anesthetist role in disaster management includes his
primary role in intensive care units and operating rooms in addition
to a secondary role in helping in the process of decontamination and
dynamically triaging the victims of the disaster, the proper choice of
technique and equipment to deliver anesthesia and/or resuscitation
services for the victims either on-scene or in collecting points or at
definitive care points .
