I have been watching disaster documentary recently, and I have increased my household food supplies. Fear has gotten the best of me, and I just want to be prepared. My worst-case scenario is a major regional disaster. In a regional disaster (think Hurricane Katrina or larger) you will have no telecom, little electricity, and little to no heat or air conditioning.
Watching the disaster videos, people often will become desperate and commit crimes. For your household, often you want to basically be able to survive with some food and water. And number 2, you want to be able to scare away criminals looting for food.
All business, including hospitals, fire and police, will be affected. Your staff, the ones that decided to come to work instead of defending the home, are hungry and haven’t had a hot shower in a week. No one is happy. These things can happen.
Public safety and hospitals have become very reliant on electronic systems. These organizations need to practice what happens if the internet is down and all their systems are down. What do they do? How does the hospital work? Hospitals need to prepare for these disasters!!!
Hospitals rely on the Electronic Health Record. Although no one wants to discuss the features of paper charting, the fact is, in a regional disaster, you better be good at paper charting and managing patients, in some way. You will have to do it, without the sacred, all knowing, ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD.
