We classify disasters into 2 types:compensated and uncompensated disasters. We are able to continue our regular medical practices during a compensated disaster. Beyond our medical capacity, that is, under uncompensated disasters, we can not perform the medical services demanded. It is very important that we previously understand the vulnerability of our own facilities and equipment for a disaster, and that we ask ourselves questions about our business continuity strategy and overall needs. We should not just create our organization’s business continuity plan(BCP)but also individual BCP. Your own BCP helps you with your best practice for any disasters.
