Course overview
Disasters can devastate communities, as well as jeopardize individuals' health and overall well-being. Moreover, disasters, whether natural or man-made, can lead to widespread death and destruction. Due to the catastrophic nature of disasters, health care organizations should have disaster plans in place to help mitigate the impact of a disaster on patient care. This course will review the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Technical Assistance Publication (TAP), Disaster Planning Handbook for Behavioral Health Service Programs, to provide health care professionals with the necessary insight to develop and improve disaster plans, which may be used in the event of a disaster to ensure effective patient care, and save lives.
