Effects of Sleep Deficiency on National Guard Personnel Responding to Disasters

Abstract

This study proposes to examine the consequences of sleep deprivation and fatigue for National Guardsmen who are part of the Homeland Response Force / CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package, HRF/CERFP, medical response team. Our long-term goal is to help protect the health of our service members, civilian disaster response partners, and victims of disaster. The main objective of this study is to develop evidence based guidelines and medical/command protocols that will help maximize the effectiveness of and minimize risk of injury to military personnel responding to a major disaster.
