A Framework for Assessing Mortality and Morbidity after Large Scale Disasters This is a discussion board that needs a reply. Please reply to the post regarding the content and evidence-based research based on the subject. this one has a question that needs to be answered. POST #1. Many toolkits are available on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website that aid in disaster preparedness and response. In particular, the CDC’s Access and Functional Needs Toolkit helps emergency planners achieve effective communications through the integration of a community outreach information network. This toolkit provides an overview of groups who may be at greater risk before, during, and after an emergency such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, or those with disabilities. Additionally, the Death Scene Investigation Toolkit, Reference Guide for Death Certification, and Disaster-Related Mortality Surveillance form can aid in the collection of data and indicating the gravity of a disaster. multiple toolkits on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website that may be used to facilitate disaster preparedness and morbidity/mortality reporting. The Access and Functional Needs toolkit developed by the CDC adopts a similar principle to the NA framework, that is, to identify vulnerable patients based on SDOH. The toolkit identifies the following high-risk populations that may be disproportionally affected by disasters: children, pregnant women, the elderly, individuals with physical and mental disabilities, individuals lacking access to transportation, and those with limited financial resources (CDC, 2021). The toolkit provides specific information regarding large-scale disaster preparation for each of the aforementioned high-risk populations. Disaster preparedness is a consistent topic addressed in many disaster-related toolkits and is key in optimizing outcomes in patients with unfavorable SDOH. what other disaster toolkits are there? Does the information within the toolkit coincide with the principles of the NA framework?
