“…The command staff has a safety officer, a liaison officer, and a public information officer. 8 The ICS was activated during the first hours of the flood occurrence, and the incident commander was the health deputy, the highest authority of health in the Ilam province. Also, experienced experts joined ICS from MOH in the next 2 days.…”

Objective:Heavy rain and flash flooding left behind a trail of disaster in the western and south-western provinces of Iran in April 2016. The purpose of this study is to highlight the response functions that should be undertaken when such disasters strike.Methods:Secondary data, such as documents, organizational reports, and forms completed during response to the flood visits, were the methods of data collection in this study. Then, collected data were analyzed according to the response functions to disasters.Results:The study found that a strong disaster response function was the early warning system, by the Iran Meteorological Organization, announced 1 week before the flood. Weaker functions were the lack of coordination among response organizations and the lack of a safety officer in the Incident Command System structure during the flash flood.Conclusions:The list of the disaster response functions identified by this study should aid the decision makers and first responders in facing natural or man-made disasters and enable them to better prepare for response functions in the future disasters.

“…Recognizing this established approach, the authors also believed that existing literature presented an emerging perspective on leadership traits that places equal emphasis on the character or soft skills of an individual. 47,49,50,359,738 Increasingly prevalent in military strategies and emerging leadership studies, existing literature suggests that character encompasses personality (eg, resiliency under stress), cognitive abilities (eg, analytical thinking, problem solving, decision-making), and interpersonal skills (eg, communication, receptiveness of diverging views). 47,382,399,608,646,736 In the broad context of crisis management and emergency response, these traits comprise the emotional intelligence of leaders and enable them to apply technical competencies and adapt to external environments.…”

During emergency responses, public health leaders frequently serve in incident management roles that differ from their routine job functions. Leaders’ familiarity with incident management principles and functions can influence response outcomes. Therefore, training and exercises in incident management are often required for public health leaders. To describe existing methods of incident management training and exercises in the literature, we queried 6 English language databases and found 786 relevant articles. Five themes emerged: (1) experiential learning as an established approach to foster engaging and interactive learning environments and optimize training design; (2) technology-aided decision support tools are increasingly common for crisis decision-making; (3) integration of leadership training in the education continuum is needed for developing public health response leaders; (4) equal emphasis on competency and character is needed for developing capable and adaptable leaders; and (5) consistent evaluation methodologies and metrics are needed to assess the effectiveness of educational interventions. These findings offer important strategic and practical considerations for improving the design and delivery of educational interventions to develop public health emergency response leaders. This review and ongoing real-world events could facilitate further exploration of current practices, emerging trends, and challenges for continuous improvements in developing public health emergency response leaders.
