Abstract

PURPOSE
The objective of this study is to develop an adequate local disaster preparation program that integrates multiple institutes, ultimately saving time, human resources, and expenses.
METHODS
The study proceeded in the orders of polls to the medical team before the drill and the lecture which were education on disaster, equipment, how to deal with the various situtuation, and performed the drill, debriefing session, and then reevaluated by polls after the drill.
RESULTS
Among the 57 medical staffs, a comparison was made of the polls between before and after the simulation with respect to the treatment ability depending on disaster triage, understanding of disaster data transferring system, test on disaster understanding (p<0.001). However, the difference by work career was not statistically significant (p=0.206, p=0.665).
CONCLUSION
We were able to develop a new program with a great response and understanding enabling us to adequately prepare for disasters. We may increase our ability to deal with such situations through unified training, not only within the hospital but also with local institutes through this well-structured program.
