en CR Disaster Preparedness and Management 17 Splinting : are used to support and immobilize suspected fractures, dislocations, or severe sprains; to help control bleeding; to help control pain; and to prevent further damage to tissues from the movement of bone ends. Vulnerability : A concept which describes factors or constraints of an economic, social, physical or geographic nature, which reduce the ability of a community to prepare for and cope with the impact of hazards Volcanic Eruption : lava and release of poisonous gases from the crater situated at the summit of the volcanoes. Disaster : The serious disruption of the functioning of society, causing widespread human, material or environmental losses, which exceed the ability of the affected communities to cope using their own resources. Landslide : are rock, earth, or debris that flow on slopes due to gravity. Capacities : The resources and skills people possess, can develop, mobilize and access which allow them to have more control over shaping their own future and coping with disaster risks Tsunamis : are giant sea waves generated by the under-the-sea earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Risk : The probability that negative consequences may arise when hazards interact with vulnerable areas, people, property and environment Hazards : any phenomenon, substance or situation, which has the potential to cause disruption or damage to infrastructure and services, people, their property and their environment. Earthquake : is feeble shaking to violent trembling of the ground produced by the sudden displacement of rocks or rock materials below the earth’s surface. Blanket drag : A method of moving an injured victim in which a rescuer places the victim on a blanket and drags the victim to safety. Walking Assist : A method of moving a victim in which a single rescuer functions as a “crutch” in assisting the injured victim to walk Sheet Drag : A method of moving a victim in which a single rescuer forms a drag harness out of a sheet, passes it under the victim’s arms at the armpits, and uses it to pull the victim. Seat Carry : A method of lifting and moving a victim in which two rescuers form a “seat” with their arms. Extremity Lift : A method of lifting and carrying a victim in which two rescuers carry the victim by the extremities. Shirt Drag : A method of moving a victim in which a single rescuer uses the victim’s shirt as a handle to pull the victim (except for a T-shirt).
