Health care facilities must meet the challenge of providing adequate care in the face of these natural disasters or other emergency events. Disaster preparedness includes being ready to provide uninterrupted service in the face of a break in critical infrastructure.

The stress can exacerbate chronic illnesses and further precipitate delirium. Read more from the article in Long-Term Living.
