Abstract

Natural disasters are on the increase. How healthcare systems respond to their communities' need for medical attention after such events will be very challenging. The situation is even more complicated when such facilities are forced to unexpectedly close and evacuate because they are in harm's way. There are important lessons to be learned from these events, yet people are slow to share what they experienced.
