About

This article is about how hospital staff can be ready to move patients during disasters. It describes a study that looked at 18 papers on this topic. The study found four main areas important for readiness: training, individual factors, communication, and management. Training helps staff know what to do; individual factors include their health and ethics; communication ensures everyone knows their roles; and management involves planning and leadership. The article suggests more studies are needed in countries with many natural disasters to improve hospital evacuation plans worldwide.
