HCAD 600 UMDC Creating Resilience Discussion Response
Hi, Please, respond to the peer discussion concerning Resilience (200 words minimum and at least three references in APA style)
I have been involved in drill and test runs before, and they rarely go as planned. Additionally, when doing a campus-wide drill, medical school, children’s and general hospital, medical towers, and even the surrounding community complete with emergency personnel, it is chaotic, but each time lessons are learned. Nearly a decade ago, a Navy jet fighter crashed into an apartment complex, and the calls went out for the disaster preparedness teams to ramp up. We set up triage tents, called in many from home to get to the local hospitals for the surge patients to be brought in for care. Then we waited, we gathered more supplies, called in additional teams, and waited. The two pilots suffered severe injuries, but there were no casualties and few other injuries to be accounted for from that day. However, it was one of the best opportunities to see our plans in place and how well the plan worked. Still, lessons learned and changes made.
