Panama. Panama is vulnerable to disasters because of its geographical location and geotectonic characteristics. The Isthmus of Panama is only 60 to 90 km wide between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Its mountain range is well known for its slope instability, intense rainfall, and tectonic activity (LCR, 2010a). The country is subjected to frequent earthquakes, their related aftershocks, and soil liquefaction. For example, in 2003, a 6.0 earthquake near the Costa Rican border was followed by more than 60 aftershocks and widespread soil liquefaction (LCR, 2010a). Measuring Emergency Preparedness Emergency preparedness plays a crucial role in saving lives and protecting the health of the population during disasters. Yet, there is little scientific evidence to support this claim. The current paucity of tools available to measure a baseline and progress, and guide preparedness activities, has made it difficult to study emergency preparedness. Still, four tools have been developed by the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) to evaluate emergency preparedness in the domestic and international context. These four tools all contained elements that could be used in the creation of the Emergency Preparedness Assessment Tool (EPAT) that was developed to measure the emergency preparedness of the MOHs of Central America.
Panama. The MOH of Panama does not have an emergency plan but has a document from 2006 that provides guidelines on how to react during emergencies. An integrated plan for health disaster response has been in progress since 2011. The plan promises to include environmental, water, and health concerns for natural disasters and epidemiological emergencies. Despite the fact that during emergencies, the MOH activities are coordinated with the national response, there is no document to formalize that process. Some SOPs exists but have not been organized in a systematic way through a plan. Support and coordination with external stakeholders is managed by PAHO’s Regional Program for Emergencies and Disasters in collaboration with UNETE, OCHA, and the CDC. The responsibility of the MOH plan falls under the Vice Minister of Health and his General Secretary. The Head of the SISED department is responsible for the implementation of the plan at the operational level. SISED is responsible for providing advice to MOH on the implementation of risk management activities, and is the liaison with SINAPROC in national emergencies and disasters. Command and Control Quantitative results Table 5. Score for questions of the Command and Control element Element 2: Command and Control Rating BZ CR GT HN NI PA Note: BZ = Belize, CR = Costa Rica, GT = Guatemala, HN = Honduras, NI = Nicaragua, PA = Xxxxxx, 0 = does not exist, 1 = in progress but incomplete, 2 = complete and functional. The Command and Control element potential maximum score was 18. Costa Rica and Nicaragua scored the highest (18) and Guatemala the lowest (13) on this element. All countries have protocols and standards in place to support emergency preparedness and response at the national and regional level. All countries also have an MOH Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and to the exception of Belize, all countries consider this EOC to be fully functional. All countries have adopted a fully functional unified command system. All also have command and control staff identified at the national and regional level even if half of the countries rated this item in need of improvement. All received some level of training, even if improvement could be made in this area for two of the countries. Four of the six countries had well developed job action sheets for their command and control staff, but Guatemala and Panama had none.
