**6. Preventive measures for primary risk reduction**

Prevention of the population in favor of public health and the future of the nation is fundament for stabilization of the health system in case of EDS [7–10, 16–18, 27]. Prophylaxis measures (PM) used for primary risk reduction is only first group of tasks and primary step for government and national health system. By **Figure 4** is presented risk reduction actions before, during and after earthquakes (**Figure 4**). Some of the most important groups of methods for prevention of public health are:

Unlike other disasters, earthquakes by sudden onset and rapid flow are characterized. Trough detailed analysis of earthquakes a number of specific features are described. First instance place, unlike other natural risks, in earthquakes the response time is practically a very limited resource. Good preparation and collaboration of various institutions with the healthcare system in case of the OTD with the multi-factorial nature of the risks due to an earthquake and the possible consequences is definitely connected. All levels of health risk management of the health care system for medical provision of the affected population are included. On the EMCC is based the field work on the medical provision of the injured people. A real staged process, but not a condition is proper medical triage and the provision of medical care in OTD. Twostage system with evacuation by appointment as method for MPIP in case of traumatic defeat of EDS is used. A guarantee for the adequate provision of good medical practices in case of EDS is defined with good enough developed health risk management system, together with the necessary number and structure of resource capacity.

• Group T 1. Persons whose trauma is defined by immediate vital disorders (20–40%). This group includes victims with respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, huge bleeding, shock, increased intracranial pressure, burns of the face and respiratory tract, or extensive burns occupying more than 20% of the body surface; poly-trauma, etc. The victims of this group receive emergency first aid in order to stabilize the basic vital functions

Particular attention in medical sorting should be paid to groups dangerous to others and in need of urgent medical attention. Dangerous for others are those infected with poisonous substances, radioactive substances, bacterial agents and patients with particularly dangerous infections (PDI), acutely unlocked or exacerbated chronic psychiatric diseases, some acute mental disorders etc. This danger imposes the need for sanitary treatment of the infected and isolation of patients
