Introduction

Disasters can be natural or artificial and often happen suddenly, causing serious damage and loss of life. In such situations, healthcare systems play a very important role. Disaster management in healthcare focuses on planning and preparation to reduce the impact of emergencies and to continue patient care. Hospitals must be ready to handle large numbers of patients, protect staff, manage limited resources, and maintain essential services. Proper training, clear emergency plans, strong infrastructure, and good coordination help improve disaster response. Surveys and assessments help identify strengths and gaps. Overall, strong disaster preparedness improves safety, saves lives, and supports faster recovery during crises.

Objectives of the Study

  • To evaluate the existing disaster management policies and procedures followed by the healthcare facility.

  • To assess the preparedness level of staff and medical personnel in handling different types of emergencies.

  • To identify the infrastructure facilities and resources available for disaster response.

  • To examine how the healthcare facility coordinates with external emergency services such as civil defense, police, and health authorities.

  • To analyze the effectiveness of communication systems used during emergency situations.

Research Design

The study adopts a descriptive and exploratory research design. It aims to describe and analyze the existing disaster preparedness practices in the healthcare facility and to explore their effectiveness. Descriptive research helps in understanding current procedures, while exploratory research helps in identifying gaps and areas that need improvement.
