title: Infectious-disease disaster planning.
abstract: When infectious diseases are involved, those in charge of disaster planning must plan not only for victims but also for the safety of health care workers. Taking more lives into account means ensuring that ample supplies, protective gear and vaccines are available as well as working with local officials to create a quarantine policy.
