| 15614. HIGH-RISE BUILDING EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS: FOCUSING ON THE MEDICAL ISSUES. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the medical issues that high-rise building security teams and other high-rise emergency responder teams face in emergency situations (e.g., fire, earthquake, bomb attack, etc.). Specifically, the analysis examines ways in which building-based emergency responders can mitigate the building occupants' exposure to emergency-related health risks; prevent, when possible, occupant injury and illness; and, through rapid and effective response and effective interface with outside/field (non-building - i.e., police, fire, paramedic, health and medical personnel) emergency responders - particularly medical responders - reduce loss of life and improve health outcomes among other victims in a mass casualty emergency situation. 15 pages, 35 footnotes, 24 bibliographic sources. |
