In 2001, a survey of Canadian emergency departments indicated significant deficiencies in disaster preparedness. Since then, there have been efforts on the part of Provincial governments to remedy this situation. This survey repeats the original study with minor modifications to determine if there has been improvement. The Hospital Emergency Readiness Overview study demonstrates that despite improvements, there remain gaps in Canadian healthcare facility readiness for disaster, specifically one involving contaminated patients. It also highlights the lack of any standardized assessment of healthcare facilities' chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear readiness.
2001 年，一项针对加拿大急诊部门的调查表明，其在灾难准备方面存在显著缺陷。此后，省级政府做出了一些努力来改善这种情况。本调查对原始研究进行了微小修改后再次进行，以确定是否有所改善。《医院应急准备总览研究》表明，尽管取得了一些进展，但加拿大医疗机构在灾难准备方面仍存在差距，特别是在涉及污染患者方面。它还突出表明，缺乏对医疗机构应对化学、生物、放射性或核事件的准备情况进行任何标准化评估。
