Health Services Organization in the Event of Disaster
However timely the health sector's response to a disaster may be, its effect may be cancelled out if the effort is disorganized or fragmented. This manual presents parameters for a tiered system of health care and appropriate techniques for coordinated and rational response. Aimed at the physician, the paramedic, and the health administrator, this manual provides general guidelines for the organization of health services and standards for treating mass casualties in disaster situations.
