Emergency

The experience of the Covid-19 has exposed many shortcomings of our society, not only in terms of prevention, but also in terms of organization and strategies for dealing with emergency situations.
The goal of this section of ThirdMillennium.club is to collect and define all the ideas and guidelines to prepare for any emergency.
To this end we will collect the technical and organizational advice and studies that will come to our editorial team and that will be processed by our team in order to disseminate and share them to improve the world's capacity for emergency response.

Below we give a first set of what the areas of intervention can.
As ideas and collaborations come, we'll add new posts and delve into the different topics.

Key points are:

1) Emergency: Procedures and organization

We need clear, ready-made procedures. Prepared by experts, evaluated by politicians, discussed extensively before the onset of the emergency.
Individual governments must prepare ready-made emergency decrees, so that in an emergency they only have to make the latest corrections according to the situation, and implement them.

2) Emergency: Materials and facilities

The materials needed to deal with the emergency must be prepared first.
Protective materials such as masks, shirts, gloves, disinfectants.
But also materials for other types of emergency, such as flood barriers, to stop fires, for relief in dangerous areas, to alert and help people.
These materials must be stored at the community level as well as by various entities such as neighbourhoods, municipalities, regions and the state. Some of these materials, such as masks, disinfectants, etc. will also have to be stored by individual families.
Facilities such as hospitals that have shown that they are not ready for an infectious emergency must also be prepared.
Hotels will also have to be set up to be easily converted into hospitals. In addition, mobile hospitals, hospital ships, emergency vehicles, emergency homes that can also be easily transported by helicopters, and reusable ones, must be available.
Extra doctors ready to intervene, agreements with private facilities, agreements with possible volunteers already educated and prepared.

Agreements with particular production sectors that are useful in the event of an emergency.
People able to set up hospitals and homes, bridges. People able to offer medical, psychological, child care to the elderly.

3) Emergency: Research and experimentation

Pre-research and testing of solutions to prevent damage, reduce its effect and solve problems.
How to stop a flood, how to secure people, how to detect and eliminate the presence of viruses and bacteria, how to intervene in case of flood, fire, tsunami, earthquake, dam collapse, landslide, etc.

All these activities will need to be planned and studied with existing entities by integrating and working together to improve where there are deficiencies.
For example, for an infectious emergency, also evaluate non-strictly medical defences: how to insulate patients from contagion in both hospitals and hotels and homes, how to prevent air conditioning systems from spreading the virus, how to isolate the interior of public and private vehicles from infections or toxic gases from outside, how to disinfect the packaging of objects in the logistics areas in order to ensure their microbiological cleanliness.

In addition, it is appropriate to do experiments on how to infect objects, boxes, roads, buildings, means of transport.
What methodologies to use, what products and if possible to carry out non-polluting disinfections, for example with UV systems.

4) Emergency: Communication and information

Decide on communication protocols to the population.
Who and how from the information.
How to communicate procedures.
Define protocols by which information is given.
Procedures for communicating traffic stops, dangerous areas, travel, etc.
Inform the population in advance and let them become familiar with emergency information sites before it occurs.
Create alert codes already defined and communicated, codes previously known by the population.

5) Emergency: Changes and innovations in our society

Every sector of our society must be thought of as a function of emergencies.
Simple and cost-effective changes made before the emergency can bring great benefits in managing the emergency itself.
The following areas should be addressed:
• Changes to the media to the transport media.
• Construction of residential, commercial, productive, recreational areas
• Structure of cities and industrial areas
• Organization at the individual and family, neighbourhood and area level
• Preventive assessment of possible risks for each zone and type of use.

All these topics are subject to study and deepening. Anyone interested in collaborating or contributing to this project is asked to share this post and possibly write to us: InTouch@ThirdMillennium.club
