Researcher: Lynette Cusack
A literature review on disaster management in the aged care sector and an analysis of the emerging key issues was undertaken. This led to a report summarizing the key issues for managers of aged care services to consider in their planning for hazards and potential disastrous events. From this report a number of collaborative strategies were identified. One of these was the provision of basic training for aged care service administrators and staff about the process of undertaking disaster management contingency planning. A workshop on this topic was developed and supported by Aged & Community Services SA & NT, Resthaven Inc. and the SA Health Director of Emergency Management.
