1. Disaster Plans
The SNS is a pivotal tool in the event of a disaster.
Using the Scholarly Library or the Internet, research SNS.
Based on your understanding, respond to the following:
· List and explain the types of items a community hospital will
require and seek from the SNS in the event of a disaster.
· List and explain at least two concerns you may have when
forced to rely on this facility.
· During the creation of disaster plans, it is common and
essential that neighboring hospitals work together. List and
explain some of the problems that may arise from a disaster
plan which may be ten years old and involved all of the local
community hospitals at the time it was originally designed.
NOTES FROM CLASS
Disaster planning is planning for the mitigation of the most
likely, or most destructive, events based on some rational
thought process. Note that this approach recognizes and accepts
that it is impossible to plan for every contingency.
The simplest technique for prioritizing between possibility and
probability based on threats and vulnerability is to use a matrix
comparing the probability of a particular threat occurring. This
is then weighed against a similar matrix comparing the potential
threat with the observed vulnerabilities.
Differently put, what is the possibility of something happening
and if it does, what impact will it have?

2. Since the attacks of 9/11, the anthrax attack in Washington, DC,
and the sniper shootings in 2002, disaster planning in the United
States has changed. In the past, hospitals planned for disasters
involving mass casualty such as, a plane crash or hazardous
material spill. Now hospitals must contend with the idea that
they could be the primary targets. They must also realize that in
the event of a biohazard attack, they may be the point at which
the outbreak is first recognized. They may be the first
contaminants.
You must also position your plan from the perspective of both
an external bioterrorism attack as well as an internal
bioterrorism attack. Your approach, response priorities, and
staff involved may be very different between the two types of
attack.
Hospitals have traditionally been designed and operated to be
open, welcoming places. This would no longer be desirable.
Facility hardening and personnel security are now bywords for
disaster planning. Hospitals must decide who is to be allowed
inside the facility, and who is to be kept out. At the same time,
hospitals must be sensitive to confidential medical information
being mishandled under the terms of Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and understand that
a cyber-attack could be just as dangerous as a bioterrorist
attack.
The emergency department may be the first place where victims
of a bioterrorist attack are received and the attack is first
identified. Hospital staff, especially emergency room staff, is
likely to have been exposed and may then have to be
quarantined and taken out of commission.
The hospital is not alone in this fight. Many organizations work
toward disaster preparedness. An example is the Strategic
National Stockpile (SNS), a federal government initiative to

3. meet the threat of disasters that result in mass casualties. The
disasters may be caused by bioterrorist attacks, chemical
attacks, or natural disasters. The SNS is a stock of medical
supplies including vaccines, antitoxins, and a lot more. Supplies
are selected based on information about the most likely threats.
The likely threats are regularly assessed and the composition of
the stockpile revised if necessary.
Remedios knows about the SNS, but he also knows that it can
take as long as three days to distribute this asset. He has already
developed a plan for the hospital, in concert with the public
health department, to inoculate the citizenry when the SNS
arrives. But the immediate problem of ensuring staff security
remains.
