Platte County Resource Center, 11724 NW Plaza Circle, Kansas City, MO, 64153

When an entire community is affected by a large-scale incident involving mass casualties such as a natural disaster, a pandemic outbreak, or a terrorist attack, response activities require integration of emergency management, healthcare providers, public health officials, public safety officials, and other agencies operating in a community. Large-scale incidents are likely to overwhelm healthcare systems and communities must work together to address the needs of an overwhelming number of patients. Supporting Healthcare in Disasters: A Community Approach will prepare communities to effectively plan for, respond to, and recover from this type of scenario.
