Welcome to ELEMENTS IN ACTION: Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response Through the Lens of Emergency Medicine!

On behalf of the Department of Emergency Medicine of Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center, we are honored and grateful to have all of you with us today. Your presence reflects a shared commitment to becoming better prepared, more capable, and more resilient in the face of disasters and emergencies.

Today's course brings together the different elements of disaster response- Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and the Fifth Element: People - Leadership, Ethics, and Resilience. Through the lens of Emergency Medicine, we will explore not only the hazards we face, but more importantly, how we respond when these hazards become real emergencies.

Throughout the day, you can expect a combination of expert lectures, panel discussions, open forums, and practical insights from professionals in Emergency Medicine, disaster risk reduction and management, nursing, military medicine, and other fields involved in emergency and disaster response.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND DISASTER RESPONSE THROUGH THE LENS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE

AUGUST 28, 2026 FRIDAY | 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

10TH FLOOR AUDITORIUM, BAGONG OSPITAL NG MAYNILA MEDICAL CENTER

We will examine important and timely topics-from earthquake preparedness and mass casualty incidents, to fire and toxic inhalation, heat-related emergencies, and the application of the Incident Command System. We will also hear valuable lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, giving us an opportunity to learn from experiences beyond our own borders and consider how these lessons can strengthen disaster preparedness here in the Philippines.

But this course is not only about understanding disasters. It is about understanding our role before, during, and after a disaster.

As emergency healthcare professionals and responders, we are often among the first to confront the consequences of a disaster. We are expected to make decisions amid uncertainty, work with limited resources, coordinate across different agencies and disciplines, and continue caring for patients even when the systems around us are under immense pressure.

That is why preparedness cannot remain a concept discussed inside a classroom. It must become a culture, a practice, and ultimately, a habit.

AUGUST 28, 2026 FRIDAY | 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

10TH FLOOR AUDITORIUM, BAGONG OSPITAL NG MAYNILA MEDICAL CENTER

As you participate today, we encourage you to listen actively, ask questions, share your experiences, and reflect on how the lessons from each session can be translated into action within your own institutions and communities.

Because when the next disaster comes, the question should not simply be, "Are we ready?" The question should be: "What have we done to make sure that we are ready?"

So, as we begin ELEMENTS IN ACTION, let us move beyond awareness toward preparedness, beyond preparedness toward action, and beyond individual readiness toward collective resilience.

Let us take what we learn today and bring it back to our hospitals, our teams, our communities, and the people we serve.

The elements may be unpredictable-but our preparation does not have to be.

Welcome to ELEMENTS IN ACTION, and let us turn knowledge into readiness, readiness into response, and response into resilience.
