Managing mass casualties in Israel.

The author relates her experiences as an observer at an Israeli mass casualty simulated exercise in a general hospital. Israeli people, who have seen their country engaged in several major wars over the last 40 years and who live with the potential for terrorist atrocity as a daily threat, treat such exercises with great seriousness. The scale and realistic nature of the exercise was impressive, and while such activities may not be directly translatable to a British situation, the energy, commitment and systematic approach of the Israeli personnel are qualities which British hospital and military staff could adopt.

Managing America's schools in an age of terrorism, war, and civil unrest.

When terrorism and natural disasters strike it is extremely important to be able to effectively manage America's schools. From the crises of Columbine, to Red Lake Minnesota, the World Trade Center and Katrina, we are reminded that schools are not immune from such disasters. It is essential that schools and communities review and augment their safe school plans and partnerships so that they can respond effectively in times of crisis. It is critically important to assess local preparedness, to update, train and practice crisis response. School officials should have specific plans in place that focus on crisis prevention, crisis preparation, crisis response and crisis recovery. This article addresses those key concerns that every school system should place on their educational agenda. Additional resources and strategies are also suggested that will promote safe and welcoming schools for all ofAmerica's children.

Need for "conflict version" of primary surgery: war surgery in the era of low-intensity conflicts.

The conventional wars between nations have widely been replaced by low-intensity conflicts within nations today, resulting in different patterns of injuries and practice of surgical care. A blurred front line, protracted durations of violence, indiscriminant fighting, and the emergence of specific surgical problems characterize low-intensity conflicts. In protracted conflicts with limited resources, surgical outcomes depend on many factors other than surgical skills, such as social/cultural values and economical feasibility. This paper examines how the characteristics of current conflicts affect surgical practice and will address key issues to evolve care to adapt to these changes. Key issues are (1) need for comprehensive surgical skills, (2) importance of improving local capacities, (3) long-term impact of trauma, and (4) limited access to information required to improve surgical skills.
