The response to the recent shooting tragedy in Virginia shows that key components of a disaster plan, when well designed and regularly practiced, can help staff swing into action and follow the plan with as few glitches as possible. It also points out the critical nature of accurate and uninterrupted communications. A color-coded triage process in the field can help avoid logjams in the ED. Having a triage nurse at the ED entrance to double-check patients will further ensure appropriate care. Have a well-defined "telephone tree" in place to ensure adequate staff when disaster strikes. Make sure your plan accounts for the loss of traditional sources of communication, such as cell phones.
对弗吉尼亚州近期枪击悲剧事件的应对表明，灾难预案的关键组成部分若设计完善且定期演练，可帮助工作人员迅速行动并尽可能顺利地执行预案。这也凸显了准确且不间断通信的至关重要性。现场采用颜色编码的分诊流程有助于避免急诊室出现拥堵。在急诊室入口安排一名分诊护士对患者进行二次检查，将进一步确保得到恰当的护理。制定明确的“电话树”机制，以确保灾难发生时有足够的工作人员。要确保你的预案考虑到传统通信方式（如手机）失灵的情况。
