Abstract:
Disaster education is important for everyone and especially nurses. Being informed, making individual and family communication plans, and creating the needed supplies to shelter in place or evacuate for one's self and family are required core readiness behaviors. Nurses also need to understand their role within the employer's emergency plans and incident command structure. All of these behaviors help the nurse to be ready and available to care for patients during disaster and emergency incidents.
