Disaster Management and YOU

• a flood destroys your home and office
  neighbourhoods

• a new patient presents with a strange rash

• a cloud forms over the city and people are
  having difficulty breathing
• 10 of your reactive airway disease patients
  show-up at the office
• requesting treatment

• two days ago a patient presented with flu-like
  symptoms,
• today four of your staff call in sick with
  similar symptoms

• an explosion rocks your office, glass shatters
  into your waiting room, patients are thrown to
  the floor, equipment and pharmaceuticals fall
  from their shelves, your phone is not working,
  you realize that a bus has crashed into your
  building, there are 20 passengers on board with
  15 of them suffering moderate injuries. The bus
  driver is pleading for your help.
