Preparedness Planning
When healthcare supply chain managers prepare for disasters, they need to understand that disaster preparation is a whole-community, coordinated effort. Supply chain managers need to be familiar with the hazard scenarios likely to impact their facility or system as well as their community, develop supply chain-related plans to help respond to these scenarios, and if possible, begin developing an all-hazards cache of medical supplies to ensure a hospital or healthcare system is prepared for these hazard scenarios.
