Extract

As evidenced in a number of recent disasters, there appears to be an increasing trend, for health care professionals to leave the confines of the hospital to provide on-scene care. This trend may be due to a number of recommendations from a variety of sources such as the National Disaster Medical System, the implementation of the United States Military Disaster Response, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommended airport disaster plans, trends in community disaster planning, and Emergency Medical Services practice.
