"Beginning with lessons learned in the Oklahoma City Bombing response and continuing through the Columbine High School Event, emergency responders are finding that simple action plans are preferable to the Big Book aproach common to most Emergency Operation Plans in the past." Hogen A Jr, Municiple and Emergency Health Care Planning in Disasters, 2002.
This tutorial is designed to give a concise and mechanistic view of the UAH disaster plan. Physicians who wish to explore the plan in further detail are invited to obtain a Complete Copy of the Disaster Plan.
Note that physicians will be assigned more specific duties during activation of the disaster plans. A simplified list of duties has been constructed. Electronic copies are available here, or on the CPG website. Paper copies will be placed in the disaster plan binder located in the Emergency Department.
