Erdal Tekin, At F Bayramoglu

Abstract :

 Disasters are sudden and unexpected ecological situations, which exceed resources and capacities of the institutions, disrupt the normal functioning, and necessitate external assistance. Different classifications of disasters are present according to their types of occurrence and origins. A short history of emergence of disaster plan will be mentioned. The properties of the hospital emergency command system and commission for preparation will be highlighted. We suggest starting with at least nine administrators at the outset of the disaster, for continuation of operations. These are as follows: president of the hospital disaster plan, public relations authority, interinstitutional coordination officer, occupational safety officer, medical /technical advisory board, chief of operation, chief of planning, chief of logistics, and chief of finance. This number may be increased according to demand, thereafter. The healthcare services that will be provided during disaster environment will be explained together with triage. To use simple triage/rapid treatment system, which provides a simple and fast treatment opportunity for patients, and color–code system recommended by the Ministry of Health seems to be more advantageous in the disaster field and its details are discussed
