Water Purification
Water can be purified by three methods – heat, filtration and chemical treatment.
All pathogens can be killed byboiling water for 10 minutes.
For filtration and chemical treatment, use the following charts as guides.
.
Giardia and ameoba cystsEnteric bacteriaCryptosporidiumParasitic eggs and larvae
Pathogen Maximum Filter Pore Size
5 microns0.2 to 0.5 microns
3 microns20 to 30 microns
Sodium Chlorine (household bleach - 5.25% ,unscented)shake/stir, let stand for 30 minutes before using

Triage in a Disaster Environment
Triage, like other disaster response efforts, begins with size-up. The general procedure for triage in a disaster environment is as follows:
• Stop, Look, Listen, and Think. Before you start, stop and size up the situation by looking around you and listening. Above all, THINK about how you will approach the task at hand. Continue to size up the situation as you work.
• Conduct Voice Triage. Begin with voice triage, calling out something like, “Emergency Response Team. If you can walk, come to the sound of my voice.” Instruct those survivors who are ambulatory to remain at a designated location, and continue with the triage operation.
• Follow a Systematic Route. Start with victims closest to you and work outward in a systematic fashion.
• Conduct Triage Evaluation. Evaluate victims and tag them I (immediate), D (delayed), or DEAD. Remember to evaluate the walking wounded. Everyone must get a tag.
• Treat “I” Victims Immediately. Initiate airway management, bleeding control, and/or treatment for shock for Category I (immediate) victims.
• Document Results. Document triage results for:- Effective deployment of resources.- Information on locations of victims- A quick record of the number of casualties by degree of
severity. This will be very useful information for responders and transportation
units.• Always wear protective gear when performing triage, so that you do
not endanger your own health.
