Health depts. are playing an increasingly important & integral role in disaster response. This is particularly true if the disaster is biological in origin. The demand for critical health services following a disaster often escalates at the moment when these services may be incapacitated. Thus, health depts.’ response must address both the direct consequences of the event & the corollary health demands of the community. As this guide shows, a well-designed & comprehensive all-hazards disaster plan (AHDP) is the first step to an appropriate & coordinated disaster response. Chapters: what a disaster is & why an AHDP is important; staff preparedness; preparing to write your AHDP; components of a AHDP; & preparing to implement a AHDP. Illus.
