Disasters and public health emergencies can have a significant impact on healthcare personnel and facilities. Plans and mitigation efforts that allow medical facilities and providers to sustain their mission, core essential functions, and services for patients already receiving care, as well as respond to potential surges in patients with space, staffing (including leadership), and equipment/supply issues are required. The goal is to ensure continuity of operations and facilitate operational and financial recovery.
