The role of Community Health Nurses (CHNs) outside the traditional hospital setting is meant to provide and promote the health care needs of the community. Such nurses can play a substantial role in the community setting including emergencies like disasters. This became evident after the earthquake of October 8, 2005 in Pakistan.

The recent 2015 Nepal earthquake is one of the most destructive earthquakes in history. In post earthquake crisis, lack of facilities, destroyed of infrastructures and limitation of transportation can be expected. This can superimpose the situation...

7 Radon as Earthquake Precursor

Earthquake predictions are based mainly on the observation of precursory phenomena. However, the physical mechanism of earthquakes and precursors is at present poorly understood, because the factors and conditions governing them are so complicated. Methods of prediction based merely on precursory phenomena are therefore purely empirical and involve many practical difficulties. A seismic precurs...

The cost effectiveness of radon remediation programmes in hospitals, schools and homes in radon affected areas in the UK.

This analysis was carried out, first for Health Service properties in Northamptonshire, and then for schools and domestic properties. Comparison of the three programmes showed that the programme in schools was the most cost effective, but that a completed programme in domestic properties would be almost as effective. However, in the UK, only 10 % of those who discover raised radon levels have s...
