triage
seperating patients:
unlikely to survive
recover w/o treatment
need treatment to survvive (priority)

egalitarien triage model
treating most ill/damaged first because they stand to reap the most benefit
-
utilitarian/efficemcy triage
maximizing physically able
(in military: maximizing soldiers/restoring fighting)
example: giving medication to soldiers that would be easily healed and returned to the front. the more ill and resource-wanting would have to wait
-
succor
assistance and support in times of hardship and distress.
"the wounded had little chance of succor"
-
moribund
(of a person) at the point of death.
"on examination she was moribund and dehydrated"
(of a thing) in terminal decline; lacking vitality or vigor.
"the moribund commercial property market"

how does disaster triage differ from medical triage
in disaster: treating the direct harms of the disaster (ie no higher purpose beyond immediate victims)
affects people in everyday life
less urgency outcome
war: treating both the direct harms and considering the effects on people not treated or githging in the war
expectation low resources no matter what
expectation of death/injury--accepting casualites beforehand
-
planning in normal life
openness of info
math action
user assumes risk
fraud protection
-
PNH
principle of no harm
-
pwb
principle of well being

ethics of disaster planning
we do not know beforehand what will occur or what plan we can apply
preppinf for a marathon
we cant possibly plan 100 pcent correctly. but we have a moral obligation to prep. no choice madatory
consisstent with principles of normal planning, no harm and preservatiuin,
