Disaster Plans

The SNS is a pivotal tool in the event of a disaster.

Using the South University Online 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
