We had an opportunity last summer to prepare for the return of H1N1. It was a gift of planning that we often don’t get to prepare for a return of a crisis … but, we knew it was coming back. So, what did you do? Should include: a) debrief what happened w/ local public or state health officials; b) develop specific response plans for schools, students AND staff (we often forget about staff); c) develop Fact Sheet and FAQs; d) communicate District’s protocols to parents, staff & students; e) prepare staff w/ some form of training before school starts so there are no surprises; f) create student assessment guidelines, surveillance and reporting steps, and follow the CDC’s Planning Checklist for pandemics. Use the time now … we don’t often get this gift of time to adequately prepare and plan.
In emergency medicine, the golden hour is the first 60 minutes after the occurrence of a major multisystem trauma. It is widely believed that the victim’s chances of survival are greatest if he or she receives definitive care within the first hour. The concept – “golden hour” – comes from U.S. military wartime experience, particularly in the Vietnam War. The golden hour can be summarized by the 3R rule of Dr. Donald Trunkey, an academic trauma surgeon, “Getting the right patient to the right place at the right time.”
Recent tragedy in Jefferson City, MO Schools (David Luther) reached out to NSPRA personnel for advice and to bounce ideas of response. You don’t have to go it alone, experts are available to assist in many different ways.
Media requests doesn’t mean you have to honor it, but it shows courtesy that you are responding.
