Introduction

Nurses perform a variety of roles and their responsibilities as healthcare providers extend to the community. The decisions we make daily and in times of crisis often involve the balancing of human rights with medical necessities, equitable access to services, legal and ethical mandates, and financial constraints. In the event of a major accident or natural disaster, many issues can complicate decisions concerning the needs of an individual or group, including understanding and upholding rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness and recovery to safeguard those in your care. As an advocate, you are also accountable for promoting equitable services and quality care for the diverse community. A comprehensive recovery plan, guided by the Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication (CERC) framework and the National Incident Management System approach is essential to help ensure everyone’s safety. The unique needs of residents must be assessed to lessen health disparities and improve access to equitable services after a disaster. Recovery efforts depend on the appropriateness of the plan, the extent to which key stakeholders have been prepared, quality of the communication, and the allocation of available resources. In a time of cost containment, when personnel and resources may be limited, the needs of residents must be weighed carefully against available resources. In this assessment, you are a community task force member who is responsible for developing a disaster recovery plan for the community you have focused on in earlier assessments using the CERC for your crisis communication plan, which you will present to city officials and the disaster relief team. You will use the community from your windshield survey OR you may select a community from the document provided in this assessment. Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. Preparation For this assessment, you will use the community from your windshield survey OR you may select a community from the Assessment 3 Supplement: Disaster Recovery Plan [PDF] .
