Abstract

The characteristics of disaster management are outlined. Planning for the efficient management of a disaster is described. The level of preparedness for disasters can be increased using simulation models in conjunction with drills. With the simulation model, "what-if" analyses are performed to predict the consequences of conceivable scenarios. Emergency medical service personnel will find such computer simulation models a useful supplement to their standard training.
