Disaster Medical Services

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) believes that emergency physicians should assume a primary role in disaster preparedness and response throughout all phases of the disaster life cycle. The provision of effective disaster medical services requires previous training or experience, which is a component of emergency medicine residency training. Additionally, emergency physicians should be encouraged to pursue continued training enabling them to best fulfill this responsibility.
