In preparing to respond effectively to an NBC disaster, hospitals must take an inventory of their current capabilities. Hospital personnel must be made aware of the overall disaster plan, which must be acted out realistically in disaster drills. The plan must address how increased numbers of patients will be triaged, decontaminated, and treated. If training, equipment, or supplies are lacking in specific areas (such as decontamination, PPE, antidotes, data tracking, etc.), these deficiencies must be rectified.
