The three topics I followed up upon was the countries surrounding Ukraine and their impact from the nuclear disaster, the types of radiation poisoning as well as the long term affects, and puterpili (sufferers).
The viewpoints that are not included in this film were the people who may have been affected by the radiation either in Toyoko or the rest of Japan.
Three points from the article that I looked up was the familial relationships in middle eastern countries, how mental illness is viewed in eastern european countries, and the cultural aspects of a Turkish family.
Emergency response is mentioned in the short and long term, in terms of placing infrastructure to direct and prevent diease. The authors stressed that dealing with epidemics as they happen is important to prevent further spread of diease. While long term repsonses in the past -clinics and medications- were placed, emergency response- going there and fixing the problem was stressed.
Three points I followed up on to advance my understanding of emergency response was how other countries report and treat rape, rape as a war crime- is it treated or ignored and in what countries, and incidents of sexual violence that get reported and treated, and further care ( how to help others immediately) and how to respond to these events.
Emergency response is addressed in the article through actions taken by health organizations in threat of an epidemic, national boards use emergency response as a way of protecting their country from disease, even though this is most effective through research and prevention. The idea of emergency response is global health security- in keeping the US healthy from epidemics in the past; we were not prepared for AIDS or swine flu.
The tools used to produce the data in this research article was direct accounts from those who have experienced violence in delievering health services, outside brainstorming from a research panal to discover how/why violence has occured or why it was not reported. Also interpretation from data that was put out by the WHO, MSF or other health organizations.
The data used to produce the claims in the report were investigations of past American disasters and how these shortcomings eventually lead to a failure for those investigating 9/11. Direct quotes and explanation of each of the historical events were also used to support the claims made.
