Introduction
Hospital operations require disaster preparedness to survive emergencies. Through a
well-designed disaster recovery plan, institutions can achieve health equity by developing
policies that address the unique requirements of marginalized groups such as elderly people,
disabled p,ersons, and people with financial limitations. Analysis of past incidents, particularly
the oil tanker derailment, helps establish a more effective and inclusive method for recovery
planning. This plan follows the MAP-IT framework (Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track),
taking direction from Healthy People 2020 and 2030 to reduce health inequalities. Every
individual in a community must have open access to required services during emergencies due to
disaster.
Assessing Community Needs
Community need identification stands as an essential component of disaster recovery
initiatives. The municipality of Valley City contains different population segments with high-risk
components, which include senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and migrant employees.
Such groups consistently face higher disaster health risks while facing limited availability of
resources. Equitable service accessibility requires knowledge of these disparities when
developing a plan. The analysis should determine how the local healthcare staff and emergency
services will handle increased medical needs during the disaster response. These identified needs
enable effective action toward short-term and long-term recovery operations.
