assembled by Beth Wescott from the three AHRQ sites referenced

A new page is available on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality(AHRQ) Web site to help community and emergency planners prepare for hurricanes and other natural disasters.  The tools and resources highlighted can help community and emergency planners:

• Reopen shuttered hospitals to meet casualty demand;
• Use community call centers for crisis support;
• Provide mass medical care with scarce resources;
• Evaluate hospital disaster drills; and
• Locate nursing homes, hospitals, and available resources within communities or nearby States.

The free materials are available at http://www.ahrq.gov/prep/hurricane.htm.

AHRQ also has a number of tools and resources that can be used during emergency events and natural disasters to assist in response and recovery efforts. Their site is http://www.ahrq.gov/path/katrina.htm
