DESCRIPTION
Disaster can take many forms as can be evidenced by the recent past. Yet through it all the need to provide quality blood products and services remains. Learn from those who have experienced the worst of the worst. All had disaster plans and all discovered gaps in their preparedness. Learn from those who have had first hand experience with Katrina?s devastation, a bomb threat, a building collapse, and a blood center fire - so that you will be better prepared.
