Natural disasters have caused death and damage in many places, with the health sector particularly vulnerable to such havoc. Hospitals have collapsed, or been so severely damaged that they have had to be evacuated. It appears that many of them have suffered a distinct lack of disaster mitigation planning during the design and construction phases. To ensure that healthcare facilities can continue to operate after a disaster has struck, at the very moment when they are needed most, the design methodology discussed in this article should be adopted. A successful outcome also demands strong collaboration from all participating construction professionals.
自然灾害在许多地方造成了人员伤亡和破坏，卫生部门尤其容易受到这种破坏的影响。医院已经倒塌，或者受损严重以至于不得不疏散人员。看来，其中许多医院在设计和建设阶段明显缺乏减灾规划。为确保医疗设施在灾难发生后，即在最需要它们的时刻能够继续运转，应采用本文所讨论的设计方法。成功的结果还需要所有参与建设的专业人员大力协作。
