Many hospital emergency departments ordsprog

Many hospital emergency departments in this country are operating at, or over current capacity. We as a nation, have poured millions of dollars into preparedness, but virtually none of that has gone to the one place that is the true first response to something like a flu epidemic, or a hurricane, or a terrorist attack -- the nation's emergency departments.

A lot of people take emergency care for granted. At a time when emergency- department visits are going through the roof, the number of emergency departments has declined because hospitals have found it's more economically attractive to close the emergency department than to keep it open and lose money.

This report is a serious wake-up call to the nation. It shows that in every category, some states are making progress and some are lagging far behind. If the emergency medical system gets a C- on an average day, how can it ever be expected to provide expert, efficient care during a natural disaster or terrorist attack? Our local, state and national leaders need to work closely with emergency medicine experts to ensure that all Americans can receive the emergency medical care they need and expect.

We are pleased to have the American Red Cross, which has long been a leader in emergency preparedness and response, co-sponsor National Preparedness Month 2005, ... The commitment of the American Red Cross and the members of National Preparedness Month Coalition are integral as we work to encourage all Americans to prepare for emergencies. As leaders in their communities, these organizations will help spread life saving information and move the entire nation toward a greater state of preparedness.

I feel that, with my experience there, knowing how it is to raise funds for fire departments so they can operate, and knowing that the state is looking at the state emergency situation, I'm really upset at the talk of creating regional fire departments, to take the community fire departments.

[If Hurricane Katrina represented a real-life rehearsal of sorts, the response suggested to many that the nation is not ready to handle a terrorist attack of similar dimensions.] This is what the department was supposed to be all about, ... Instead, it obviously raises very serious, troubling questions about whether the government would be prepared if this were a terrorist attack. It's a devastating indictment of this department's performance four years after 9/11.

North Carolina's emergency preparedness system is one of the best in the nation. North Carolina's emergency management team has been very proactive and this is yet another means for them to solidify our and planning preparation.

September 11 taught us that the front lines of a catastrophic terror attack are not here or in policy but are local, in communities all across this country. It is the folks in our fire departments, in our police stations, in our emergency rooms, and in the volunteer corps. It is the brave men and women who rush to an attack site with almost superhuman stamina and compassion, working to save their fellow citizens.

The hospitals that are operating are filled to the brim. The emergency departments are clogged up with long queues that see a growing patient population.

Hurricane Katrina pointed out continuing serious flaws in our emergency preparedness and response. And this was frustrating to us.

We don't even know how our equipment is going to be moved around from the various departments to fires. It is vitally important to have an emergency plan in place.

If we are to understand emergency department wait times in Canada, we must first understand how emergency departments are used.

The humanitarian emergency response by the UN country team, including UNHCR, has gradually shifted from emergency response to recovery and rehabilitation and, where feasible, towards development.
