Public health officials can play a huge part in disaster planning and emergency preparedness.

Analyze disaster response and emergency preparedness:

• Identify nursing roles and responsibilities during each phase of disaster management. Consider:
• Planning
• Preparedness
• Response
• Recovery
• Evaluate your community or state’s plan for preparedness and disaster management:
• Does it include provisions for each phase of preparedness and disaster planning?
• Does it clearly account for community needs?
• Does the plan include evidence of thought beyond the written report?
• Is there evidence of a record keeping system for resources, treatment, and identification of victims?
• Are there redundancies built into the plan should one option fail? Are backup plans in place?
• Analyze the plan for addressing mass casualty situations.
