title: Stormy weather. Preparing for and recovering from disasters.
abstract: Preparing for and recovering from disasters Planning is the most important thing a medical practice can do to prepare for a disaster. Learn from the experiences of a medical group in Florida that weathered four hurricanes in 2004. Its trials provide insights for other groups that might suffer calamities such as blizzards, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, blackouts and even acts of terrorism.
