A disaster is an unplanned event in which the needs of the affected community outweigh the available resources. Some widely publicized disasters, such as the terrorist attacks on September $11,2001,$ Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, the Boston Marathon bombing, and COVID$-19$ have focused people's attention on disaster planning and preparedness. Disasters are becoming more frequent, and the number of persons affected is also increasing. When disaster strikes, healthcare facilities and their staff play an essential role in the response efforts. It is therefore vital to address emergency preparedness before help is needed. A disaster plan is a procedure for coping with mass casualties or massive disruptions of normal health care services because of human or natural catastrophes. The plan may be for a local community, region, or state and should link health care resources with other public services such as the media.
