The topic of last week is a one of the main challenges that field of public health faces during the man made and natural disasters.
Therefore Cori completed the concept of the “rapid response” by addressing the theory of “Triage.”
To refresh your memory;
“Triage is a system used by medical or emergency personnel to ration limited medical resources when the number of injured needing care exceeds the resources available to perform care so as to treat those patients in most need of treatment who are able to benefit first.” Wikipedia
We know that we as soon to be public health professionals are leaders of crisis situations and should be able to over come stressful, traumatic conditions by using the first-class guidance and leadership skills. According to Dr. Calderon we are leaders of catastrophes and there will be peoples that may not to follow leaders!
How do you think Public health professionals should react to disobedience individuals during hardships, wars, difficult times and disasters?

Liyan, This is a great post, I think that we do have a very difficult task as ph professionals to come forward and develop procedures for emergency preparedness.
I think that we as public health professionals need to be prepared for large disasters. This way, we can try to anticipate the problems associated with large social unrest and we can have procedures in place to deal with civil disobedience.
