Crisis Management, Risk Communication, Natural Disaster, Disaster Prevention, Safety Culture
In a sudden disaster such as a major earthquake, a large number of injured and sick people may occur at the same time, and the survivors are forced to decide what the best option is in a situation where there is no best option. In fact, when drills simulating these situations are conducted at schools and other facilities, it has been observed that the disaster response capabilities of individual participants as well as the team strength itself improve with each repeated drill.
This suggests that even if individual disaster response skills, such as how to protect oneself at a moment's notice and how to deal with injured and sick people, are high, maximum performance cannot be achieved unless the team functions as a team. Organizations that have been trained for aircraft accidents and medical accidents, which are less frequent than major earthquakes, value this team's capability.
In this lecture course, we will consider what a functioning team is, based on the knowledge of aviation safety, which is always based on safety and deals with situations as a team. The knowledge gained will be appropriately applied to the teams that you belong and will form the basis for building a safety culture.
