Abstract

When a snowstorm not only paralyzes a community but also isolates its hospital or hospitals, contingency plans and procedures ensure the effective administration and operation of a health care facility during the emergency. In retrospect, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, has developed specific policies, procedures, and mechanisms to identify and deal with logistical and organizational problems that MGH experienced during the 1978 blizzard.
