Introduction:
Our learning tam was assigned to develop an outline on disaster management for the renovation of a new health care facility planning. The outline will cover pre and post disaster activities and all the actions planned to maintain control under emergency and disaster situations. In addition the outline will provide valuable information that will help in the prevention of an emergency situation, reduction of its effects, and recover in the event it takes place. Last but not least, a brief description of the activities encountered before and after a disaster situation. There are Local, State, and Federal legal and regulatory requirements that apply in any disaster situation,. Other topics covered in this outline include The Certificate of Need Program (CON) in the State of California and its initiatives to restrain costs in health care facilities, the International Building Code for health care facilities and issues considered when meeting the code, the measures taken before a renovation or new plan, and finally a list of stakeholders that may be key factors in the development.
