Before I continue writing about this, perhaps some of you wondered what 'Mx' is. Well, it's a short medical abbreviation for the term 'management' ...
Right, now we're talking about Disaster Phase. What's the most important in this phase?
RAPID RESPONSES !!
Yes, rapid responses should be the utmost priority when there's a disaster occurred.
So, what we must have to ensure a rapid response? It's the Action Plan! I mean, the Disaster Plan!!
We may divide the big Disaster Plan into Pre-Hospital, Hospital and Regional Disaster Plans.
Let's see one by one. Brief points!
