Strategic National Stock Pile and Government Preparedness

The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is a pivotal tool in the event of a disaster. The SNS is used as a federal government initiative to meet the threat of disasters that result in mass casualties.

Using the Internet, research the SNS and 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.
