Thompson's Disaster Planning Guide for Medical Facilities provides a detailed description of the new standards that must be met as well as guidance on how to manage a wide range of natural and manmade disasters, including infectious disease outbreaks, fire, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, terrorism, biological agents, radiological exposure and more. It offers detailed guidance and tools for addressing the full range of steps involved in properly planning for, coping with, and recovering from a disaster or emergency.

Based on proactive efforts at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, the Disaster Planning Guide for Medical Facilities provides a library's worth of action-ready information and guidance in one quick-reference volume.
