Article Out Loud - Hospitals Must Prepare Now for Future Contingencies

By THEODORE (TED) TULLY, An Article Out Loud Flashback from the Domestic Preparedness Journal, September 19, 2012. Whether responding to mass casualties from a nuclear blast or an attack by a single "Lone Wolf" shooter, hospital preparedness requires careful planning, effective coordination, and collaboration in the sharing of critical resources. Inter-hospital cooperation and training will almost always result in a better outcome than would be possible through single-facility planning efforts. Narrated by Randy Vivian.
