AB  - Disasters  have  claimed  millions  of  lives  and  cost  billions  of  dollars  worldwide  in  the  past  few  decades.  Examples  of  large-scale  disasters  include  the  terrorist  attacks  of  September  11,  2001;  the  2004  Pacific  Ocean  tsunami;  the  2010  earthquake  in  Haiti;  the  2011  earthquake  and  tsunami  in  Japan;  and  Superstorm  Sandy  of  2012.  Emergency  physicians  frequently  have  extensive  responsibilities  for  community  and  hospital-level  disaster  preparedness  and  response.  This  chapter  discusses  the  definition  of  a  disaster,  disaster  preparedness  and  planning,  the  hospital  emergency  operations  plan,  field  disaster  response,  and  the  ED  disaster  response.
