Updating disaster plans: a tale of three hospitals.
Three hospitals that were struck by disaster in 1977 have undertaken major revision of their disaster plans as a result of unexpected problems that occurred during the crises. Lee Hospital, Johnstown, PA, is installing a tough "floodproofing" system; Jewish Hospital and Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY, and Bellevue Hospital Center, New York City, are revamping their emergency electrical systems.
