INTRODUCTION TO DISASTER Disaster: A calamity, catastrophe; An unforeseen and generally ruinous mischance which happens, Suddenly! In a disaster of any degree, people turn to a hospital for help. Therefore, the job of providing immediate medical and hospital care falls directly on the doctors and nurses. A disaster's impact on the medical resources of the hospital and /or community is immediate and demanding whether or not they are prepared to care for mass casualties. Our job at St. Joseph Hospital is to BE PREPARED, not only for re- occurring tragedies such as flood, fire, epidemics, explosions,and transportation accidents; but for a role in Civil Defense in case of a Federal declaration of disaster or nuclear attack. This booklet is to outline your part in the Disaster Plan for St. Joseph Hospital. The plan is intended as a general guide for the hospital during a disaster. It does not include all of the detailed duties of each department, but the chart enumerates basic requirements. All departments should maintain current lists of personnel and their duties. Study the following with care. Remember the cliche: "The life you save may be your own." G. Eiland, R.N.
