The brain becomes more alert.Stress can contribute to headaches, anxiety,and depression.
Sleep can be disrupted.
Stress hormones can damage the brain’s ability toremember and cause neurons to atrophy and die.
Baseline anxiety level can increase.
Heart rate increases.
Persistently increased blood pressure and heart rate can lead to potential for blood clotting and increase the risk of stroke and heart attack.
Adrenal glands produce stress hormones.
Cortisol and other stress hormones can increase appetite and thus body fat.
Stress can contribute to menstrual disorders in women.
Stress can contribute to impotence and premature ejaculation in men.Muscles tense.
Muscular twitches or “nervous tics” can result.
Red = immediate response to stressBlue = effects of chronic of prolonged stress
Mouth ulcers or “cold sores” can crop up.
Breathing quickens.
The lungs can become moresusceptible to colds and infections.
Immune system is suppressed.
Skin problems such as eczema andpsoriasis can appear.
Cortisol increases glucose productionin the liver, causing renal hypertension.
Digestive system slows down.
Stress can cause upset stomachs.

CISM as Mitigation
Efforts attempt to prevent hazards from developing into disasters altogether, or to reduce the effects of disasters when they occur.
Differs from the other phases because it focuses on long-term measures for reducing or eliminating risk.
Implementation of mitigation strategies can be considered a part of the recovery process if applied after a disaster occurs.
CISM as Mitigation
Structural or non-structural, Is the most cost-efficient method for
reducing the impact of hazards. Does include providing regulations . . . and
sanctions against those who refuse to obey the regulations . . . potential risks to the public fema.gov
