Abstract:

Evacuation is one of the ways to protect the population and is a set of principles and organizational measures ensuring the transfer of people, animals and material resources from the area at risk of emergency to another territory. In the event of an emergency, the evacuation may include not only inhabited agglomerations and industrial facilities, but also medical facilities, where patients who depend on the care of medical staff and the supply of medical services increase the complexity of the situation. The evacuation of the medical facility itself represents a complex of partial evacuation plans and standard procedures for individual departments of the medical facility. The article presents one of the possibilities of preparation and evacuation of a selected inpatient department of a medical facility.
