“…Whereas the National Guard assets are often crucial, it is incumbent on the State public health professionals at the community and state planning level to have a knowledge of the types and capabilities of all response assets at their disposal. All of which must be joint planned and exercised on a regular basis [18].…”

The functioning of the "territorial army" of Poland is described in military history alongside that of the regular active combat troops. The main aim in creating "territorial troops" was to strengthen the state's defence system. In countries with relatively long traditions concerning such troops, they now constitute an important link in the state's defence system, counting close to the regular operational forces. Their purpose, and thus the goals and tasks set for them, depend on the specific needs related to the security of a given state, and are adequate in addressing the occurrence of possible threats. Given international guidelines for the proper use of the military in natural disasters and the rapidly changing landscape required for emergency assistance, Poland has recreated disaster-related operations of the existing Territorial Defence Force, now under the designated Territorial Defence Force, which will be limited to the territory of the country and largely focused on cooperation with the civilian sector. This article is written for two major reasons: One to both present the conditions and possibilities of cooperation between the Territorial Defence Force and public administration in the event of a natural disaster within Poland, and two to foster shared guidance and feedback from countries undergoing similar advancements. This is especially crucial in recognition that natural disasters are increasingly impacted by cross-border factors such as climate extremes, biodiversity losses, rapid and often unsustainable urban population growth, refugee migrations, growing scarcities of water, energy and food, and increasing risks of internal conflict all of which place increasing demands on Poland and its neighbors to begin a larger dialogue of cooperation.

Introduction This study is a scoping review to identify literature pertinent to the question: “What are the criteria for deployment of the United States National Guard (USNG) to domestic sudden-onset natural disasters (SODs)?” As this question relies on factors across many disciplines—legal, medical, technical, cultural—and as there is no foundational body of academic literature or unified governmental or USNG policy addressing this question, a scoping review was designed to identify the body of literature on which further research and policy decisions surrounding this question may be based. Materials and Methods On January 23, 2023 a modified PRISMA-ScR search was performed using an online search engine of the following databases: Academic Search Premier, Google Scholar, JSTOR, PubMed, Web of Science, and WorldCat. The inclusion criteria included the involvement of the USNG response to U.S. domestic SOD. Non-SOD results were excluded. Results from all years and of any type of literature were considered and were limited to the English language. First, titles and abstracts were screened by 2 independent reviewers. Then, a full-text review was performed by 2 independent reviewers. Finally, data were extracted from included texts by 2 independent reviewers. A third reviewer resolved any discrepancies at each stage. This study did not require approval of an institutional review board. Results Out of the 886 results identified by the original search, after the complete review process, 34 sources were relevant to the research question. Fifteen criteria for the deployment of the USNG to SODs were identified. Overwhelmed local responders, utility failure, the need for the provision of security, and the need for logistical coordination were the most commonly identified criteria. Hurricanes were the most common SOD addressed in the included literature, and most results were event reports. Conclusions This modified PRISMA-ScR identified a foundation on which elected officials, USNG leadership, and the larger disaster response community may develop policies and disaster response plans to optimize available resources through the activation of the USNG when responding to SODs.

How Individuals With Chronic Illnesses Manage Health-Related Concerns During Disasters: Development of a Theoretical Framework

Disaster preparedness frequently does not address populations less able to prepare for disaster such as those with chronic illness. Although individuals with chronic illnesses are at particular risk of poor outcomes, little is known about how these individuals manage their illnesses in the context of disaster. The purpose of the study is to develop a theoretical framework that describes how individuals with chronic illnesses who have experienced a disaster managed health-related challenges during the disaster. Theory about the five phases of disaster response (nondisaster, predisaster, impact, emergency, and reconstruction) and the individual, local, state, and federal level model served as the conceptual frameworks for this study. Thirty individuals with chronic illnesses who have experienced disaster and 10 lay caregivers were recruited from Florida and New Orleans. This study is using grounded theory methods from the qualitative tradition. Three data sources are being used: interviews with individuals with chronic illnesses and caregivers who have experienced disasters, and media data. Purposive sampling was used to recruit the sample. The combined interviews from the perspectives of those who have experienced disaster (individuals with chronic illness and caregivers) with media reports added contextual description of circumstances surrounding the disaster. Constant comparative analysis techniques are being used to build the theoretical framework. MNRS PhD Student Award Abstractat UNIV OF MASSACHUSETTS on April 9, 2015 wjn.sagepub.com Downloaded from
