| dc.description.abstract | Our world continuously changes as the population grows, and technology advances to new heights. Each change has different effects on our environment, some are negative while others are positive. Some developments have caused major changes to the point where natural disasters have increased their occurrence, strength, and unpredictability. Since we are unable to predict how nature will develop and which path it will take, we should guide our focus to providing post disaster emergency care.
Locations affected by disasters have the possibility of losing their hospitals to fire, wind, flood, and power shortage. Which in turn makes them unable to provide the required emergency services. Providing mobile units that can be brought in and provide medical relief can help stabilize the community swiftly after disasters and help in the recovery stage with housing units.
These casualty collection units will be stationed at nearby Air Force Bases to provide timely responses. Each unit has a similar core of needed supplies and equipment while being stationed in disaster regions to be used as casualty collection points. The number of units required to be sent is based on multiple factors for example disaster type, injuries involved, population, area, and conditions of existing hospitals. With a disaster relief system in place more people can be helped after a disaster. | en_US |
