The
National Library of Medicine Website provides information and
resources on how to handle the emotional, mental, and
physical aftermath of disasters, violence, and traumatic events.
In 2006 the American Nurses Association (ANA) embarked on a new
effort to engage the nursing profession in the policy
development process on a timely policy issue impacting their
profession.
The resulting policy document addresses topics relevant to health
professionals who provide care during extreme emergencies and
with scarce resources.
