  • Title: Make decontamination part of all-hazards plan.
    Journal: ED Manag; 2005 Nov; 17(11):127-8. PubMed ID: 16749578.
    Abstract:
    Think creatively when planning for a disaster. Be sure to establish strong relationships with organizations in your area. When conducting your risk analysis, don't exclude "wild scenarios" from your hypothetical events. In the event fire department assistance is not available, equip your facility with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and nozzles to spray patients clean. Develop important relationships with area hospitals and agencies before disaster strikes.
