Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Healthcare facilities should always have a plan in place for emergencies and disasters. This plan should be developed in advance, with input from all relevant staff and stakeholders, and regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it remains effective. Waiting until a disaster occurs to determine how to deliver care can result in chaos, confusion, and delays in critical services.
