Emergency preparedness is a team sport … it seeks to promote safer, less vulnerable communities with the capacity to cope with hazards and disasters.
Emergency management is the managerial function charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters.
It should be comprehensive, progressive, risk-driven, integrated, collaborative, coordinated, flexible and professional.
Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, being one of the regional hospitals providing support to civil disaster, has established proven framework for emergency management including management structure, contingency plans, communication network and staff training for both internal and external emergency situations. Practical experiences and continuous improvement programs have been shared with hospitals in Macau and Mainland China over the years.
