Abstract:
Response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic revealed gaps in medical supply quality and personnel training and familiarity in San Francisco County, prompting the reexamination of county disaster supply caches and emergency medical services (EMS) system decompression protocols. Project RESPOND (Rapid Emergency Supplies for Prehospital Operations in Disaster) was developed to bridge the gap in patient care infrastructure during short- or no-warning disasters and enhance EMS system offloading by introducing a novel capacity for the safe treatment and discharge of patients with minor injuries from the scene of an event. This design, while scaled to the needs of a unique metropolitan population, can be used as a template for the reimagining of disaster response policy and development of disaster supply caches.
