    Abstract:
    Since 1982 the St. Radboud hospital, Nijmegen, has a contiguity plan for peace-time disasters which describes the way to deal with great numbers of patients of traffic-, environmental- or industrial-calamities. The function of the commander, the separate hospital services, the medical and nursing triage team and administrative services are clearly delineated. Also is indicated how to organise communication between hospital, municipality, police and fire-brigade. The plan also provides possibilities for information towards press and relatives of the victims.
