Assessment 3: Disaster Recovery Plan
Villa Community Disaster Recovery Plan
Slide Two
Good afternoon everyone, and thank you for joining us today as we discuss our organization's
disaster recovery plan. Disasters can happen at any time, and it's important that we are prepared to protect our assets and ensure continuity of operations. In this presentation, we will review the risks and threats that our organization faces, the measures we have in place to mitigate those risks, and the procedures we will follow in the event of a disaster. We will also
discuss how we will test and maintain our disaster recovery plan to ensure it remains effective. Thank you for your attention and participation in this important topic.
Slide Three: The Train Disaster
As you are aware, there was a train accident that occurred some time back and which informed the making of this presentation. The disaster involved many patients which can be classified as discussed in the next paragraph. The different categories of patients that were brough tot the ER on that fateful day allowed for Villa Hospital to have an insight on the kind
of community we serve. It also allowed us to understand our strengths and shortcomings regarding caring for our community. The Villa community is represented by the following persons that presented at the ER on the day the accident occurred:
1. Experienced nurse: Elderly female-Red (immediately). Despite having no obvious physical
injuries, the 90-year-old was combative and confused. It's possible that the patient suffered internal wounds.
2. Skilled nurse: Homeless person- Red (immediately). The patient required an immediate amputation of his limb.
3. Nurse Practitioner: Immigrant- Green (minimal). Speaking in another language, the immigrant claimed that his daughter was still trapped in the rubble. The victim had a small laceration. We required an interpreter.
4. Mayor: Yellow (delayed). He had no internal or external wounds that could have been fatal. He was asked to assist others in the emergency room.
5. Expectant mother-Black. The patient passed away. 6. Skilled nurse: Mother-in-law. Has life-threatening open femur fracture.
Slide Four: Community Health Disparities
We had a variety of patients reporting to the facility when the accident happened a few weeks
ago at Villa Health. It was difficult to meet some of the patients' needs because of the patients' diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Elderly people with long-term conditions like dementia, homeless people without insurance, family members of Villa
