Abstract
Disaster can strike at any time. Most hospitals have a contingency pla
n for ''attack'' from without, but it can also happen from within, as
one small rural hospital discovered. The authors share practical tips
for prevention, detection, crisis management, and post-crisis follow-u
p based on principles of disaster planning. Experience is a great teac
her, and we can benefit from the authors' helpful tips for creating a
more complete plan.
