Being prepared is the most essential factor to limiting the loss of life in the event of an incident perpetrated by a terrorist group using a weapon of mass destruction. But what type of measures can you use to quickly assess how prepared our health care facilities are to respond? In a recent article in the JAMA entitled "Weapons of Mass Destruction Events with Contaminated Casualties" the article states that Biological and Chemical Terrorism is a growing concern for the emergency preparedness community. While health care facilities (HCF's) are an essential component to the emergency response system, at present they are poorly prepared for such incidents. The greatest challenge for HCF's may be the sudden presentation of large numbers of contaminated individuals.

We know that the first few minutes of medical care often means the difference between life and death.
