Am 25. November 2005 brachte das Tiefdruckgebiet Thorsten in weiten Teilen des Münsterlandes ungewöhnlich ergiebige Schneefälle mit sich. Aufgrund der Schneelasten brachen fünfzig Hochspannungsmasten zusammen, was zu großflächigen Stromausfällen führte, die in einigen Ortschaften des Münsterlandes bis zum 3. Dezember andauerten. Neben etwa 250000 Menschen in Privathaushalten waren auch Einrichtungen der Verwaltung, des Bildungs- und des Gesundheitswesens in den Kreisen Steinfurt, Coesfeld und Borken auf eine derartige Situation nicht oder nur unzureichend vorbereitet und hatten erhebliche Schwierigkeiten, ihre Grundversorgung mittels eigener Ressourcen aufrecht zu erhalten. Im Juni 2006 wurde durch Befragung seinerzeit Betroffener das Ausmaß der allgemeinen Abhängigkeit von der Versorgung mit Netzstrom als einer Kritischen Infrastruktur sowie das Bewusstsein betroffener Bevölkerungskreise für eine Notwendigkeit privater und öffentlicher Notfallvorsorge untersucht. Durch schriftliche Befragung von insgesamt 591 Haushalten in den Landkreisen Steinfurt und Borken wurde im Juni 2006 die Einstellung ehemals Betroffener zu Katastrophenvorsorge und Vorratshaltung untersucht. Sogar das eigene Erleben des Ausfalls kritischer Infrastrukturen hat das Vertrauen der betroffenen Bevölkerung in die öffentliche Gefahrenabwehr sowie das Bewusstsein einer Notwendigkeit privater Vorratshaltung nicht verändert.
A record of morbidity and medical request profiles in international humanitarian aid, taking the earthquake in BAM in Iran in 2003 as an example Objective: With the humanitarian work of the International Red Cross after the earthquake in BAM, Iran, it should be noted that international and national cooperation is possible according to recognised standards and concepts, and therefore morbidity records can be included uniformly in the context of day to day work even in post disaster situations. The data ascertained show changes in the disease spectrum. Basic health provision according to the primary health care concept has priority in the post disaster response (> 6 days) of the earthquake compared to more surgically oriented medical acute aid from abroad. Material and methodology: In the international consensus conference at the beginning of January 2004, uniform morbidity recording was fixed to simple standardised case definitions. The recording of traumatic, infectious and non-infectious diseases was carried out during the routine work in the out-patient facilities of the emergency response units of January 3 to 31, 2004 . Examination was according to the following indicators: Proportional morbidities, sum of the proportional morbidities. Results and discussion: 16677 new cases were included in the complete examination time period. The health facility rate only gradually increased. Temporal fluctuations in the numbers treated may be caused by secondary care of the injured, by a possible lack of accessibility (transport problems) or an increased acceptance of facilities. A written specification of the case definitions was not carried out in BAM, and so a comparison is not possible for recorded morbidities at the same time, and consistency cannot be reached for some of the data. Nine diagnoses/categories cover 98.68% of the consultations in the complete time period. Non-traumatic health problems predominate for the whole of the month. The category "others" is too high with 57.94%. Therefore, it may be assumed that certain diagnoses were overestimated, underestimated or not recognised. Vulnerable groups (children, women, the old), were not completely included. Conclusion: Standards and guidelines for health care in humanitarian aid exist, and are of help during planning, decision finding, execution and communication. Data acquisition instruments (registering books and patient files) should be developed and standardised by national and international humanitarian groups. The recording of morbidity is a simple instrument in the context of out-patient facilities with valuable information for further work during catastrophes.
