According to the Center for Research and Epidemiology of Disasters,
the frequency and severity of disasters has increased over 300% in
the last decade. Healthcare systems and individual healthcare
practitioners, including nurses, are now fulfilling multiple roles
in disaster preparedness in the whole of community: planning,
preparedness, risk identification, mitigation, response and
recovery. Nurses are considered first responders for biological
events or when the disaster occurs where they are working. Nurses
act as first receivers when accepting patients/victims for care
whose injuries result from non-biological events occurring outside
the nurse's workplace. The vast majority of practicing nurses
received no disaster preparedness education in their basic nursing
education program. Nurses graduating in the 21st century are
exposed to some of the concepts of disaster nursing but have little
experience unless there is a disaster or emergency where they work
or go to school. Readers will be updated on this topic because
articles in this edition demonstrate a vast array of implications
for nurses in disaster preparedness around the world: chemical,
biological, radiological/nuclear, explosives (CBRNE); natural
disasters; new models of training and educating nurses for
disasters, military nurse response, mental health issues as well as
non-government organizations.
