I have noticed that there is not public safety officials any where in sight and to control the chaos, the Military has to be called in to help with the outrage that is going on in Haiti right now.

I have experienced the umbrella of protection of Safety during my time as a Paramedic and responding to accident scenes, some victims with libatious encouragement become uncontrollable and interfere in the duties of a Paramedic. This week I am updating our Emergency Preparedness Manual and this blog has fit right in to some of my developed pillars of Health Care Human Needs in Public Safety. From a Healthcare perspective and using Maslow's basic concepts and my Nursing knowledge, have developed basic survival daily living needs for maintaining health and avoiding disease: >Hygiene-(disease prevention) >Waste-(disposal of medical and personal-including contamination of death and disease) >Water/Food provisions >Safety-(physical, electronics, possessions); >Sheltering-(environmental and elemental safety) >Companionship and dealing with PTSD/Stress-family separation Now imagine what the population of Haiti is experiencing; they are deprived of all of these which does make this a true catastrophic medical event. Scot Dr. Joe,

Now imagine what the population of Haiti is experiencing; they are deprived of all of these which does make this a true catastrophic medical event.
