Disaster Plan and Recovery (Mobilize collaborative partners) A disaster is considered anything out of the ordinary that happens and prevents access to key processes. Planning makes it possible to manage the entire life cycle of a potential disaster. Strategic and operational planning establishes priorities, identifies expected levels of performance and capability requirements, provides the standard for assessing capabilities, and helps stakeholders learn their roles (U.S. Homeland Secruity, 2020). A major component of a disaster plan is the recovery phase; recovery is defined as the activities that occur before, during and after a disastrous event. Following a disaster, survival rates depend on health care facilities’ ability to provide care under duress and to handle a sudden influx of large numbers of victims. Much depends on the staff, supplies, equipment, structure, and systems that are required to treat a significant increase in patients seeking medical and nursing care (Veenema, 2016). The disaster recovery process is focused on restoring and revitalizing communities that have been impacted by the disaster, such as the train derailment disaster that affected the Villa Health community. Both planning and recovery are essential components for proper management and restoration of community disasters. After speaking with the Vila Health hospital and community officials, it is clear their disaster recovery plan needs revised.
