Description:
Primary care physicians, pediatricians, and allied health

be educated on how to prepare their patients and their practice in the
event of such a situation.
Objectives:
After participating in this activity, attendees will be able
to:
- Identify and describe the problems that arise when
primary care fails in a disaster situation.
- Assess the current state of your practice and your ability to

throughout a disaster.

documentation.
