title: Disasters, the media and doctors.
abstract: Disasters and mass casualty incidents are traumatic events that are followed by a predictable media response. Managing the media response appropriately can avoid problems in a hospital's security, command, control and communications structures and mitigate the stress of hospital staff attempting to deal with the incident.
