Objective: To assess disaster planning of local Offices of Emergency Management (OEM) with respect to people with disabilities (PWD).Design: A cross-sectional study of local OEM from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 9 (N = 61) was conducted using an internet-based survey. The primary outcome was the adoption of emergency management recommendations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FEMA in applying Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Results: OEM implementation of ADA requirements was generally suboptimal. While 63 percent reported that plans addressed the needs of PWD, only 41 percent reported detailed operating procedures for PWD. Training of staff to ensure that they were knowledgeable on the ADA requirements for inclusivity was rarely conducted. While accessible shelters and transportation were often identified, accessible communication strategies, including emergency notifications, were often lacking; only 28 percent of OEMs reported availability of sign language interpreters at shelters. Shelters often allowed service animal access (62 percent), but fewer allowed access to personal assistants (39 percent). Engagement of the disability community, from plan development to community drills, was uncommon. While more than half (59 percent) of OEM felt clear about their responsibilities in providing equal access to PWD, only 23 percent reported having qualified staff and other resources necessary in order to meet those responsibilities. Participants cited the need for more training on the ADA requirements in order to better meet the needs of PWD. Conclusion: Strategies for improvement to assure inclusiveness of PWD in all phases of emergency management are needed.

Introduction: Prognosis of an avulsed tooth depends on timely and correct management. Therefore, knowledge about the emergency management of an avulsed tooth among dentists is very important. The study was aimed to access the knowledge of emergency management of avulsed tooth among the dental surgeons of Chitwan. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the dental surgeons in Chitwan using a questionnaire containing 12 items. Only 105 dental surgeons participated in the study. Data was entered into Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 16 and was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Most of the dentist 71.4% were familiar with the correct management of the avulsed tooth before replantation. Regarding storage medium, most of the dentist 44.4% correctly choose Hank’s balanced salt solution, while 21.9% choose saliva as the best storage medium for an avulsed tooth. Similarly, 47.6% of the dentist rightly choose that less than 30 minutes was the extra alveolar critical time, while 35.2 % suggested it to be within an hour. More than half of the dentists 51.4% preferred stainless-steel wire to be the method of splinting after replantation. However, most of the dentists 75.2% correctly recommended splinting for a duration of 15 days. Almost half of the dentist 49.5% agreed that the tooth with open apex had better prognosis. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the dental surgeons do have knowledge regarding emergency management of an avulsed tooth. However, with time they need to update themselves their knowledge of dental traumatology.
