Tertiary Disaster Response Phase 1

摘要

Tertiary Disaster Response (TDR) is a concept developed at Cal State San Bernardino that addresses the systematic restoration of key services in the aftermath of a natural or man-made disaster. It is essentially emergency medicines triage model applied to a supply chain. The two interrelated elements of TDR are: 1) restoration of the supply chain for essential goods (food, medical supplies, etc.); and 2) restoration of utilities to key supply chain components. It is believed that this is a neglected area of catastrophe mitigation and response and that it could be a potentially volatile public safety issue in the aftermath of a high consequence event in which law enforcement resources would likely be stretched thin with first response responsibilities.
