Disasters disproportionally affect vulnerable, technology-dependent people, including preterm and critically ill newborn infants. It is important for health care providers to be aware of and prepared for the potential consequences of disasters for the NICU. Neonatal intensive care personnel can provide specialized expertise for their hospital, community, and regional emergency preparedness plans and can help develop institutional surge capacity for mass critical care, including equipment, medications, personnel, and facility resources.
灾难对弱势群体、依赖技术的人群影响尤为严重，其中包括早产和危重新生儿。医护人员了解灾难对新生儿重症监护室（NICU）可能产生的后果并做好准备十分重要。新生儿重症监护人员可为其医院、社区和地区的应急准备计划提供专业知识，并有助于提升机构在大规模重症护理方面的应急能力，包括设备、药品、人员和设施资源。
