The rate of temperature reduction is 9.8 °C for every 1,000 m (Lutgens and Tarbuck, 2011)
0 on the Richter scale that struck about 10 miles from its capital, Port-au-Prince, in January 2010 (Lauer & Kozinski, 2010). In the devastation that followed, several social determinants of health emerged including a lack of adequate sewage facilities (fewer than 33% of the Haitian population had sewage services pre-earthquake), sufficient food and clean water (less than half of the Haitian population had access to clean water pre-earthquake) as well as the increased potential for malaria and other diseases (Holt & Bazell, 2010)

This observation means that DNP leaders must anticipate the exigencies that can result from anthropogenic and natural disasters and take steps to ensure that measures are in place when these events occur (When disaster strikes, 2010). While it is impossible to predict disasters with 100% accuracy, it is possible to anticipate certain types such as the massive flooding that occurred following Hurricane Katrina in late August 2005 (Howk, 2008)
Disaster Nursing What are the social determinants of health that are impacting Haiti following the earthquake? The struggling nation of Haiti was already facing enormous challenges in providing basic health services to its population when the country was rocked by a major earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale that struck about 10 miles from its capital, Port-au-Prince, in January 2010 (Lauer & Kozinski, 2010)
For the millions of people whose lives are destroyed or otherwise severely affected by disasters of this magnitude, though, a more immediate response is needed because time is of the essence which may run contrary to their professional training. As the American Nurses Association emphasizes, "While every response situation is not that extreme, nurses and other health care personnel can find themselves operating in altered standards of care environments during a disaster" (When disaster strikes, nurses are needed, 2010, p
Their fate from here onward will depend on core size. The Life of a Star How stars die almost completely relies on its size (Holland & Williams, 2016)
